Maddox Drops 'Pitt' From Credits, Listed as 'Maddox Jolie' on Couture

The credit reflects a broader pattern of Jolie and Pitt's children avoiding their father's surname in public settings.

Overview

  • Maddox appears as Maddox Jolie in the end credits of Couture, repeating a listing first seen in Toronto in 2025 and now visible after the film’s February release in France.
  • Maddox worked on Couture as an assistant director alongside Angelina Jolie.
  • In 2024 he was credited as Maddox Jolie-Pitt on the Netflix film Maria, underscoring the recent shift in how he is billed.
  • It is not confirmed whether this reflects a formal legal name change, and none of the children have publicly explained their decisions.
  • Zahara and Vivienne have used Jolie in public and professional contexts, and Shiloh completed a legal name change in 2024, with reports citing sources who say Brad Pitt is aware and upset.
