Vivienne Jolie Seeks to Drop 'Pitt' From Her Legal Name

Overview

• Vivienne Marcheline, who filed on July 22, 2026, petitioned the Los Angeles County Superior Court to change her name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie for personal reasons.
• A court hearing to consider her request is set for November 2, 2026, when a judge will decide whether to approve the legal change.
• Her action follows a pattern by other children of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, with Shiloh already authorized to drop Pitt in 2024 and Maddox and Zahara having taken steps toward formal name changes.
• California name-change procedure used by the siblings required filing in Superior Court and public legal notices, commonly published in the Los Angeles Daily Journal for four weeks before a hearing.
• The filings are reported against a longer backdrop of family estrangement that began after Jolie and Pitt’s 2016 separation and an in-flight investigation that led to no criminal charges, and the moves could shape how the adult children present their identities publicly and privately.
