Following in the footsteps of brothers
Vivienne’s filing to drop her father’s last name comes months after her siblings, Zahara and Maddox, also went the legal route earlier this year to officially drop Pitt from their last name.In 2024, Shiloh filed a petition to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Jolie. The request was approved later that year.Meanwhile, Zahara petitioned to legally change her name to Zahara Marley Jolie, while Maddox requested that his legal name be changed to Maddox Chivan Jolie. Hearings on their petitions are scheduled for September 28 and September 14, respectively.
Although Vivienne has only used ‘Jolie’ as her last name since 2024, this is her first legal step to officially change her name. She made headlines when she was billed as ‘Vivienne Jolie’ in the Playbill for the Broadway musical ‘The Outsiders’, which she helped create with her mother.
Her legal filing comes just weeks after she turned 18. Born in July 2008, Vivienne is one of the youngest children of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. She and her twin, Knox, are the youngest of the former couple’s six children.
