POLICY WIRE — Los Angeles, USA — Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, the youngest daughter of former Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has filed a legal petition to remove “Pitt” from her last name. This marks the fourth of their six children to seek this change in the past two years.

The filing, which was confirmed by legal documents, cites personal reasons for the name alteration. Vivienne, aged 15, joins her siblings Maddox, Pax, and Zahara, who have similarly petitioned to drop their father’s surname.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, once one of Hollywood’s most high-profile couples, finalized their divorce in 2019 after a lengthy and contentious legal battle. The couple shares custody of their six children: Maddox, 21, Pax, 19, Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 16, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.

The Jolie-Pitt family has been in the public eye for years, with their relationship, divorce, and subsequent co-parenting arrangements garnering significant media attention. The recent name change filings add another chapter to their ongoing narrative.
