Vivienne Jolie legally changes her surname, becoming fourth sibling to drop Pitt
A Los Angeles judge approved 18-year-old Vivienne Jolie’s name change on November 2, removing Pitt from her former surname, Jolie-Pitt.
Vivienne is the daughter of actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who separated in 2016.
She is the fourth sibling to legally drop Pitt; Shiloh, Maddox and Zahara have also changed their surnames.
Vivienne filed her petition in Los Angeles County in July, shortly after turning 18.
Her stated reason for the change was personal, and no one objected before the judge approved it.
The change follows years of public attention on the family’s strained relationships and the couple’s lengthy divorce, which was settled in 2024.
Pax and Knox have not filed petitions, according to the available information; Knox is Vivienne’s twin.
A Los Angeles judge approved Vivienne Jolie’s request to change her legal name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie.

Vivienne filed her petition in Los Angeles County on July 21, nine days after turning 18.
Her siblings Shiloh, Maddox and Zahara have also changed their surnames.
