He is the most recent one of the exes’ six children to drop the surname.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
The former couple were together for more than a decade before their split caused years of legal drama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It appears another one of Angelina Jolie<\/a> and Brad Pitt<\/a>‘s children are formally dropping their dad’s surname.<\/p>\n Maddox Jolie-Pitt, the former couple’s eldest child, has filed paperwork to legally drop “Pitt” from his name, officially becoming “Maddox Chivan Jolie,” according to TMZ<\/a>. This follows Maddox’s decision to lose “Pitt” in his professional name<\/a>, as he is listed as “Maddox Jolie” in the credits of Angelina’s recent movie, Couture<\/em><\/a>, on which he worked as an assistant director.<\/p>\n Entertainment Weekly<\/em> has reached out to Angelina’s and Brad’s reps for comment.<\/p>\n The legal move also comes after a few of Maddox’s siblings decided to drop the Pitt name. Shiloh, now 20, filed to change her name to “Shiloh Nouvel Jolie” on her 18th birthday in May 2024. The petition was officially granted by a Los Angeles court a few months later.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, Zahara informally dropped her father’s last name<\/a> as she walked across the stage to accept her diploma from Spelman College. Her name was read as “Zahara Marley Jolie,” despite it being listed as “Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt” in the commencement program<\/a>.<\/p>\n Vivienne, 17, also seemingly decided to leave behind the Pitt name as she is listed as “Vivienne Jolie” in the Playbill for the musical The Outsiders<\/em>, which she helped mom Angelina produce. PEOPLE<\/em><\/a> confirmed the informal name change in May 2024.<\/p>\n Angelina, 50, and Brad, 62, also share sons Pax, 22, and Knox, 17, although it appears they have both kept the “Jolie-Pitt” label.<\/p>\n Brad’s relationship with his children seemingly soured after him and Angelina called it quits in 2016 following more than a decade together. The couple, dubbed “Brangelina,” met in 2005, amid the end of Brad’s marriage to Jennifer Aniston, and eventually tied the knot in 2014 with their six kids looking on.<\/p>\n
