ALEXJR / BACKGRID Page Six exclusively reported on Monday that Jolie’s 18-year-old daughter legally changed her name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. Vivienne’s attorney, Peter Kenneth Levine, appeared remotely for the Los Angeles court hearing. Judge Virginia Keeny, who presided over the hearing, read aloud Vivienne’s new legal name that she approved. Vivienne initially filed her petition on July 20, just eight days after celebrating her 18th birthday alongside her twin brother, Knox. In court documents obtained by Page Six at the time, the teenager cited “personal” reasons for wanting to remove “Pitt” from her surname.

Three of Vivienne’s siblings, Zahara, 21, Maddox, 25, and Shiloh, 20, already legally removed “Pitt” from their names, as they remain estranged from their famous dad. Vivienne’s twin brother, Knox, also omitted “Pitt” from his high school diploma earlier this year, although he has not been confirmed to have legally changed his name. The “Eternals” actress filed for divorce from the “Fight Club” actor in September 2016 after two years of marriage. They were together since 2004. The exes were declared legally single in 2019 before finally settling their divorce in December 2024 following an eight-year legal battle.

Angelina added, “You want to make sure that you support them.” Community Guidelines Welcome to the Page Six Community!
