Overview

  • On Friday, May 29, 2026, U.S. outlets reported that Maddox Jolie-Pitt filed court papers seeking to remove 'Pitt' from his legal name and adopt Maddox Chivan Jolie.
  • The filing follows Maddox's recent decision to be credited without 'Pitt' on the film Couture, where he worked in the production team.
  • Brad Pitt's representatives told People they would not comment on the filing.
  • Other Jolie-Pitt children have already moved away from the Pitt name in public or legal steps, with Shiloh completing a court-approved change in 2024 and Zahara and Vivienne using Jolie in recent events and programs.
  • A judge must approve the petition before the change becomes official, and observers note the requests are being reported in the context of the couple's 2016 family dispute and their finalized 2024 divorce.
