5 of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s 6 Kids Have Now Moved to Drop “Pitt” from Their Names

One by one, Brad Pitt’s children have been shedding his name, and Vivienne is the latest.

At 18, she has filed to become Vivienne Marcheline Jolie, no “Pitt” attached. That leaves Pax as the only one of the six still carrying his father’s name.

She filed the paperwork just days after turning 18 on July 12. She’d already been going by “Vivienne Jolie” professionally, credited that way as a production assistant on the 2024 Broadway musical “The Outsiders,” which her mother produced.

Shiloh was the first to make it legal, filing on her 18th birthday in May 2024; her petition went through that August with no objections. Zahara filed in April 2026 and has a hearing set for September, while Maddox filed in May 2026, having already dropped “Pitt” from his credits on Angelina Jolie’s 2025 film. Knox reportedly went by “Knox Jolie” on his high school diploma this June.

Pax is the holdout. He still uses the full Jolie-Pitt surname and has kept ties to Pitt’s side of the family, even though he has publicly criticized his father in harsh terms, reportedly calling him a “world-class a**hole” in a since-deleted 2020 Father’s Day post.
