Brad Pitt hit with another brutal blow as youngest child reveals estrangement from famous father

Brad Pitt faced another legal and family blow as his youngest child, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, reportedly seeks to remove “Pitt” from her last name amid estrangement. The 18-year-old, who turned 18 on July 12, filed a petition with the Los Angeles County Superior Court to change her name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. Court documents list the reason as “personal,” and a hearing is scheduled for November 2. Vivienne previously signaled distance from her father by dropping “Pitt” when her name appeared on the playbill for The Outsiders, directed by Angelina Jolie on Broadway in 2024. She joins her siblings’ similar actions: Shiloh has already changed her name, while Zahara and Maddox are seeking changes with hearings set for September 28 and September 14, respectively. Pitt has not been seen publicly with any of his six children since 2016, following his divorce and long custody battle with Angelina Jolie.
