Brad Pitt’s kids legally drop his surname as Jolie-Pitt fallout widens
Zahara Jolie-Pitt and Maddox Jolie-Pitt have filed to legally drop the Pitt surname, joining siblings Vivienne Jolie-Pitt and Shiloh Nouvel Jolie who already use Jolie, while Pax Jolie-Pitt remains the only child publicly using Pitt’s name. The name changes come amid the long-running divorce and estrangement between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, with Jolie signaling she wants to move on and the court-ordered changes set to proceed as the children reach adulthood; Pitt is described as heartbroken by the rift.
