Vivienne Jolie-Pitt Files Official Public Notice Announcing She’s Dropping Brad Pitt’s Name

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s daughter Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt has filed a legal notice in the Los Angeles Daily Journal to officially announce she is legally requesting to drop “Pitt” from her last name.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Vivienne, 18, completed California’s required four-week newspaper publication process on August 14. Under California law, people seeking a legal name change must generally publish a notice of their petition before a judge can approve the request, giving anyone the opportunity to object.

As In Touch previously reported, Vivienne filed legal paperwork on July 12 asking to remove “Pitt” from her last name, citing the reason as ‘personal.’ A hearing on the petition is scheduled for November 2. The teen was previously credited as “Vivienne Jolie” in the Playbill for Broadway’s The Outsiders, the Tony Award-winning production she helped produce alongside her mom, per People.

Pitt, 62, and Jolie, 51, share Vivienne along with her five siblings: Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 20, and Vivienne’s twin brother Knox.

Shiloh was the first of the former couples’ children to legally request to drop Pitt from her name when she turned 18 in May 2024. In April, Zahara did the same, followed by Maddox in May.

Knox has not taken the legal steps to drop their father’s surname, but he omitted “Pitt” from his high school diploma earlier this year in June, using the name “Knox Jolie” instead.

Brad and Angelina got married in 2014, and she filed for divorce in September 2016. The exes finalized their divorce on December 31, 2024.
