Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 18, takes out a newspaper advertisement connected to a legal name change in which she removes “Pitt” from her surname. Multiple outlets report the notice is published in the Los Angeles Daily Journal as part of the court process for changing her legal name.
The reporting frames the move as continuing a pattern among her siblings. Sources note that Zahara and Maddox have also pursued similar name changes, and that Shiloh was the first to remove the “Pitt” surname. Some outlets also say Vivienne has been professionally using “Jolie,” while others focus more directly on the public court notice. Across coverage, the change is described in the context of ongoing estrangement between Vivienne and her father, actor Brad Pitt. While outlets differ in how much they emphasize family drama, they largely agree on the substance of the reported step: she publicizes a legal notice to drop “Pitt.”
