According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Vivienne filed paperwork in Los Angeles Superior Court on 20 July requesting her legal name be changed from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. Shiloh successfully petitioned a Los Angeles court in May 2024 to remove “Pitt” from her surname after turning 18. According to the report, Maddox also filed legal paperwork in May 2026 requesting that “Pitt” be removed from his surname, likewise citing personal reasons. The report also states Zahara filed paperwork on 9 June seeking to legally change her name from Zahara Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Jolie. Vivienne had already stopped publicly using the Pitt surname in 2024, when she was credited as “Vivienne Jolie” in the Playbill for the Broadway production of The Outsiders, which she helped Angelina produce.
