Brad Pitt's youngest daughter also officially drops his last name

Vivienne Jolie, the youngest daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has officially removed her father's surname from her legal name. She is one of several children from the former couple who have sought to distance themselves from Pitt following their parents' high-profile separation and ongoing personal conflicts.

Vivienne Jolie, the eighteen-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has officially filed to drop her father's surname. Documents reveal she will now be known as Vivienne Marcheline Jolie, following a pattern set by her siblings. This change became evident earlier in 2024 when she was credited as Vivienne Jolie during her work on the Broadway production of The Outsiders. She is the latest of the couple's six children to distance themselves from Pitt's name, with siblings Shiloh, Zahara, and Maddox having taken similar legal steps. Knox has also ceased using his father's surname, leaving only Pax as the sole child who still uses it.

The trend of name changes highlights the strained relationship between Pitt and his children following his 2016 separation from Jolie. While their marriage officially ended in 2024, the former couple remains embroiled in ongoing legal battles, including a dispute over their French vineyard, Château Miraval. These developments occur amid past allegations of abuse made by Jolie against Pitt, further complicating the public dynamic between the actor and his family.
