Vivienne, the daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, is the newest child to request that the “Pitt’ name be dropped from her surname.
TMZ obtained court documents that show the 18-year old filed a petition to change her legal name to Vivienne Jolie Marcheline. It is not specified why the petition was filed, but it’s simply “personal.”
PEOPLE reported the first news.
Vivienne Jolie has been professionally using her surname Jolie for some time. She received a credit as “Vivienne Jolie”, in the Playbill of the Broadway production “The Outsiders”, which she produced with her mother.
Vivienne has joined her siblings and other family members in attempting to separate themselves from the Pitt name. Shiloh, as TMZ reported previously, successfully petitioned for legal drop of “Pitt”. She filed this 3 days after turning 18. Zahara and Maddox also submitted petitions to change their names from Maddox Chivan Jolie to Zahara Marley Jolie.
Sources who are close to Brad told TMZ that Angelina is responsible for the rift Brad has with the kids. They also said Vivienne’s lawsuit was the latest in what they described as a sad and never-ending effort to separate the children from Brad.
Brad and Angelina divorced in 2024, after many years of legal battles. However, they are still embroiled in an ongoing dispute over Chateau miraval, a French winery that they bought while married.

The Netflix special on Tuesday did not include a joke that comedian Whitney Cummings told at the Mark Twain Award ceremony about President Trump’s sex-trafficking.
Bill Maher, the late night host of the show “Last Call”, was honored at the Kennedy Center where Donald Trump serves as chairman. The June 28th event was held the month after his name had been removed from the facade of the building by a court order. He didn’t attend.
From the stage, Ms. Cummings stated that she heard Trump wanted to attend tonight but was unable to do so because he had been caught up in sex.
After a few laughs, Ms. Cummings said: “They told me not to do that.”
The joke seems to be a reference to his previous association with Jeffrey Epstein, the financier who was charged in 2019 with sex-trafficking before committing suicide. This joke appears to be a reference to Mr. Trump’s previous relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The financier was accused of sex-trafficking in 2019, before he committed suicide in prison. Trump denied that he was involved in a sex trafficking ring or had any knowledge about it.
This special included a joke made by Ms. Cummings about the influence of Mr. Trump on Kennedy Center programming. She told the audience to “enjoy ‘White Hamilton’s’ three-month fall run.”
The decision to exclude the joke about sex trafficking was unclear.
Netflix released a statement Tuesday saying that the Kennedy Center had the right contractually to remove jokes.
