18-year-old Vivienne Jolie-Pitt has filed a legal request to change her name immediately after turning 18. She intends to drop her famous father's surname entirely and keep only her mother's, reports infohub.kz.
The youngest daughter of former spouses Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has decided to officially renounce her father's surname. Just days after her 18th birthday, Vivienne filed official documents with the Los Angeles County Superior Court requesting to change her name to Vivienne Jolie. She aims to remove 'Pitt' from all documents. She had previously used the updated surname in the credits of the Broadway musical 'The Outsiders,' where she worked as an assistant producer alongside her mother, but now intends to make the change legally binding.
Vivienne is not the first child of the couple to distance themselves from Brad Pitt amid the parents' long-running legal battles. Earlier, her older sister Shiloh dropped the father's surname, as did Zahara, who introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie when joining a college sorority. Insiders close to the actor say Pitt is struggling with the estrangement from his children and is upset by his daughter's decision, with whom he was very close in childhood.
