Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's youngest daughter Vivienne, 18, files to DROP actor's last name as she joins older siblings in snubbing the Oscar winner

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's youngest daughter Vivienne has filed to legally drop the actor's last name. 

The 18-year-old has followed in the footsteps of her three older siblings and filed a petition in Los Angeles County Superior Court requesting that her legal name be changed from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie.

The reason behind the teenager's name change is listed as 'personal,' according to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail. An official court hearing is scheduled for November 2.

The petition is only the latest move in Vivienne's ongoing effort to distance herself from the Pitt name.

Back in May 2024, she notably dropped her father's surname in the Playbill program for the Broadway production of The Outsiders, listing her name as Vivienne Jolie while serving as a producer alongside her mother.

Born in 2008 alongside twin brother Knox, Vivienne is the youngest of the former couple's six children. 

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Pitt and Jolie for comment. 

A source recently told the Daily Mail that Pitt views the rift with his children as 'deeply painful' and 'believes Angelina's role in how things unfolded is the ultimate betrayal.' 

It comes days after the actor's daughter Zahara, 21, and son Maddox, 24, have published notices revealing their intentions to drop 'Pitt' from their last names.

The advertisements were both published in the Los Angeles Daily Journal throughout June and July.

'Petitioner Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt filed a petition with this court for a decree changing names as follows: Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Marley Jolie,' one notice stated.

'Petitioner Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt filed a petition with this court for a decree changing names as follows: Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt to Maddox Chivan Jolie,' the other said.

The notices both invite dissenting parties to appear at a scheduled hearing over the matter; Zahara's is scheduled for September 28 while Maddox's is on September 14.

In the state of California, those seeking to legally change their name must publish an Order to Show Cause - a document requesting the name change - for four weeks in a row in a newspaper before their court date.

It comes a month after Zahara filed a petition requesting that her new name be Zahara Marley Jolie.

Maddox also filed to drop the actor's last name in late May.

Zahara publicly dropped the last name three years ago when she joined a sorority at Spelman College.

She also went by Zahara Marley Jolie during her graduation ceremony, which her father reportedly skipped, according to TMZ.

'Nothing prevented him from showing up for her. Or ever visiting her. The day was about all she accomplished. Not whether he was willing to attend,' a source close to Jolie told the publication.

However, multiple sources have exclusively spoken to the Daily Mail in defense of Pitt, insisting that he is not the absent father he has been portrayed as, and he wants a relationship with his six children.

Jolie and Pitt's other daughter Shiloh, 20, has also dropped the actor's last name. It is not known if their son Pax, 22, has stopped using the name as well. 

Last year, Shiloh, who was born Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, legally changed her name to Shiloh Jolie.

At the time, in a statement shared with People, Shiloh's lawyer Peter Levine said she 'made an independent and significant decision following painful events,' adding that she was 'merely following legal process' when publishing notice of the change. 

Pitt and Jolie were involved in a grueling eight-year divorce battle that was finalized in 2024.

The marriage ended after a volatile plane incident in 2016 and abuse allegations, which Pitt has adamantly denied. He has also never been charged with a crime and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services cleared Pitt of physical abuse allegations.
