Vivienne Jolie-Pitt Seeks Legal Name Change to Remove 'Pitt' Surname
Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has filed a legal petition to remove 'Pitt' from her surname, following siblings Maddox and Zahara who have taken similar steps. The 18-year-old submitted the request in Los Angeles County Superior Court citing a 'personal' reason, with a hearing set for November 2. The family has been publicly estranged since Jolie and Pitt's 2016 separation, and several children have distanced themselves from their father's surname.
