Angelina Jolie's youngest daughter has officially changed her last name.
The youngest daughter of actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Vivien officially abandoned her father's last name. The relevant decision was made by a court in California.
The court granted the application of the 18-year-old girl without any objections on November 2. According to the new documents, her name now sounds like Vivienne Marcheline Jolie instead of Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt. The petition was officially approved by Judge Virginia Keaney in a Los Angeles court. The girl applied for a change of personal data in July 2026, almost immediately after reaching the age of majority, citing "personal circumstances" as the reason.
Before receiving court approval, Vivien fulfilled a mandatory requirement of California law. According to HOLA!, for four weeks — from July 24 to August 14, 2026 — she published official notices of her intention to change her name in the Los Angeles Daily Journal newspaper. This procedure is standard to ensure transparency of the personal data change process.
In fact, Vivien started using her mother's last name even before the official court decision. In the spring of 2024, when working on the Broadway musical "The Outsiders", in the creation of which she helped Angelina Jolie as an assistant producer, she was listed in the theater program as Vivien Jolie, CBC News reports.
Vivienne became the fourth child of Jolie and Pitt, who legally abandoned his father's last name. Earlier, similar decisions were made by her sister Shiloh, as well as Maddox and Zahara. In particular, according to Metro, Shiloh Jolie officially received permission to change her last name on August 19, 2024. The renaming process took longer than expected due to a delay caused by a clerical error during data verification.
As for the couple's other children, Zakhara began publicly using her mother's last name even earlier. According to The Hollywood Reporter, in November 2023, during the ceremony of joining the Alpha Kappa Alpha university sisterhood, she introduced herself as "Zahara Marley Jolie." Although the exact date of the legal change of her documents is not specified in official sources, in September 2026, the media confirmed the completion of this process.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced their separation in September 2016. The divorce process of celebrities, accompanied by numerous legal disputes, lasted eight years. The former spouses reached a final divorce agreement on December 30, 2024. In total, the couple has six children, three of whom are biological, and three are adopted.
