The 18-year-old has followed in the footsteps of her older siblings, including Maddox and Zahara, who have also dropped ‘Pitt’ from their surnames. Jolie’s representative has not stated on this. Pitt has largely remained silent about his estranged relationship with his children.

For those who have forgotten, Jolie and Pitt, who split in 2016, are parents of Maddox, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 20, and 18-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

In May, Maddox, the eldest son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, took a legal step to remove his father's name, and replace it with Jolie.


He has been in a years-long feud with his father, according to TMZ. As per the reports, he submitted court documents on May 28, requesting to change his legal name and add his mother's name, Maddox Chivan Jolie. No update on this as of now. Jolie adopted Maddox in 2002 as a single mom. However, Pitt later became his adoptive father after he and Jolie began dating.
