Vivienne Jolie officially drops her father’s name

Vivienne Jolie has officially dropped her surname. According to the US magazine “People”, a court in California approved the name change on Monday, November 2nd. She will now be known as Vivienne Marcheline Jolie, and no longer Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt.

The 18-year-old had filed the corresponding application in July, shortly after reaching the age of majority. There were apparently no objections to the change during the court hearing.

This decision was not entirely unexpected. As early as May 2024, Vivienne publicly signaled her rejection of her father’s surname. In a program booklet for the Broadway musical “The Outsiders”, in which she participated with her mother, she was listed as “Vivienne Jolie” only.

Brad Pitt must accept that now four out of his six children have officially distanced themselves from his surname. Previously, his daughter Shiloh (20) had already changed her name in 2024. Zahara (21) has only carried her mother’s surname since then, and Maddox (25) recently followed suit with an official name change.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were a couple for twelve years, two of which were married. Their separation occurred in 2016, and their divorce became legally binding in December 2024 after years of legal disputes.
