Vivienne Jolie-Pitt Makes Bold Move To Drop Dad'S Name

Vivienne Takes Legal Steps to Alter Name

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt is stirring up the Hollywood grapevine by filing a petition to legally remove 'Pitt' from her last name. The 18-year-old, daughter of the iconic duo Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has submitted paperwork at the Los Angeles Superior Court to officially become Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. This move nods to her grandmother, Marcheline Bertrand, Angelina's late mother, who passed away in 2007.

Family Drama Continues to Unfold

The court documents revealed by Page Six clarify that Vivienne's reason for the name change is "personal." Her decision is the latest twist in the ongoing saga following Pitt and Jolie's split back in 2016. A source close to the situation told Page Six that the name change reflects "complete and total parental alienation," suggesting deeper family rifts.

“If Brad isn’t close to the kids, it’s because of the harm that was done. The children are now adults and make their own decisions,” a source previously stated, emphasizing the autonomy of the Jolie-Pitt siblings.

Siblings Follow Suit

Vivienne isn't alone in her decision to distance from the Pitt name. Her siblings have taken similar actions. Shiloh and Maddox have already legally dropped 'Pitt,' and Knox used 'Jolie' on his high school diploma. Zahara has also filed paperwork for a name change. Pax maintains some connections with Brad’s family, but his relationship with Brad remains strained. These moves highlight the evolving dynamics within this famous family.
