Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s youngest daughter, Vivienne, has taken the next step in forging her own identity by filing legal paperwork to remove “Pitt” from her last name.
The 18-year-old is seeking to change her legal name to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie, according to court records. The filing lists the reason for the request as personal, with a court hearing scheduled for November.
Vivienne’s decision follows similar actions by several of her siblings. Shiloh previously received court approval to legally shorten her name, while Maddox and Zahara are also pursuing legal changes that would remove the Pitt surname. Together, the filings highlight a continuing family story that has unfolded in the years since Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt ended their relationship.
Although neither Jolie nor Pitt has addressed the latest filing publicly, a source close to Jolie says her focus remains on her children’s wellbeing. According to the source, the actress hopes for healing within the family and believes her children deserve privacy as they navigate deeply personal decisions.
A separate source close to Pitt said the actor is disappointed by the growing distance between him and several of his children, reflecting the emotional impact of the ongoing family situation.
Jolie and Pitt, who separated in 2016, finalized their divorce in 2024 after years of legal proceedings. While many aspects of their personal lives have remained private, their children’s recent name change requests have once again drawn public attention to one of Hollywood’s most closely watched families.
