A Los Angeles judge approves a petition from Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s eldest son, Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt, granting his legal name change to Maddox Chivan Jolie. The change removes “Pitt” from his last name, according to court documents reported by outlets.
The reporting also notes that his younger sister Shiloh legally changes her name to Shiloh Jolie. Other siblings are described as seeking similar legal changes to include “Jolie.” While some coverage includes claims about responsibility for the children’s actions and mentions Brad Pitt placing blame on Angelina Jolie, the core court outcome cited across sources is that the name-change request is approved by a judge in Los Angeles.
