Brad Pitt's Youngest, Vivienne, Clears Key Legal Hurdle for Major Change Amid Claims of 'Complete Alienation'
- Vivienne Jolie-Pitt has moved closer to legally removing her father's surname, completing a required legal notice in the Los Angeles Daily Journal. The 18-year-old filed the petition last month to become Vivienne Jolie.
- Other siblings have similarly dropped the Pitt surname; sister Shiloh Jolie made the change official in 2024, while Zahara Marley Jolie and Maddox Jolie previously began the legal process earlier this year.
- Before a final hearing, the legal notice allows for written objections. Vivienne previously used the name Vivienne Jolie while working as an assistant on the Broadway production of The Outsiders.
- No suggestion exists that Brad Pitt intends to challenge the application. A source previously told People that Pitt is 'aware and upset' by his daughter's choice, noting he 'loves his children.'
- These developments occur amid the couple's decade-long separation. The fallout includes a legal battle over a $67 million French winery and allegations regarding a 2016 plane journey.
