Vivienne Jolie Legally Drops Pitt Surname Following Siblings' Name Changes

Vivienne Jolie Legally Drops Pitt Surname Following Siblings' Name ChangesPreviousNext

Vivienne Jolie, daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has legally dropped her father's surname, becoming Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. She is the fourth of the couple's six children to do so, following siblings Shiloh, Zahara, and Maddox. The name change was approved by a California judge in November 2024 after Vivienne filed a petition citing personal reasons. Vivienne had already used her mother's surname professionally, including in the 2024 Broadway production of The Outsiders, which she helped produce with Angelina Jolie.
