Vivienne, the youngest of the six children of Brad Pitt (Oklahoma, 60 years old) and Angelina Jolie (California, 48 years old) – along with her twin, Knox – loves musicals and movies. She was four years old when she debuted on the big screen playing Princess Aurora in the film Maleficentstarring her mother, and now that she has turned 15, it has also been Jolie who has hired her as an assistant for the Broadway musical adaptation of The Outsiders, produced by her. Being part of the team, Vivienne appears in the brochures, but she has drawn attention to one detail: her last name appears as Jolie, instead of Jolie-Pitt, which was her last name until now.
It is still unknown whether this change of surname has been made official at a legal level or is still just a professional choice, but this gesture by the youngest of the family follows in the same wake as other siblings who have already made the decision to renounce their surname. father before her. Zahara, 19, was admitted last year to the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College in Atlanta, where she began her university studies. “My name is Zahara Marley Jolie,” she said when she appeared in front of her colleagues on stage. as seen in several videos. She also omitted the Pitt, something that did not go unnoticed by users.
The apparent name changes of Vivienne and Zahara come after years of tension in Pitt’s relationship with his children, even more so since Jolie filed for divorce in 2016 – which has not yet been finalized – and sole custody of the six ( Maddox, 22; Pax, 20; Zahara, 19; and Vivienne and Knox, 15). In August 2022, a source close to Pitt told People that the actor hoped to get along better with his children soon. “It’s been a sad situation for years. Since Angelina filed for divorce, Brad has focused on having the best relationship possible with his children. It has been very difficult for him. Many times, there have been long intervals in which he did not see the children at all,” this source said. “He misses the children when he doesn’t see them. He still has many good things in his life. He has a positive attitude. “He believes there will come a time when he will once again have a great relationship with his children,” he added.
Jolie filed for divorce after an incident on a private flight in September 2016. Court documents, obtained by The New York Times, claimed that Pitt “strangled one of the children and punched another in the face” and “grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her.” The lawsuit also notes that, at one point, he “poured beer on Jolie; in another, she poured beer and red wine on the children.” Pitt vehemently denied the allegations at the time, and was never charged after an FBI investigation ended with him being acquitted without charge. The Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services also concluded its investigation into the incident with no findings of abuse. Still, the oldest of the six children, Maddox — who worked with his father on the film World War Z—, he declared in the trial against the actor in 2021, agreeing with Jolie. It was then that it was learned that he no longer uses Pitt in non-legal documents and instead uses only Jolie, and that he intends to legally change his last name.
Pax, as far as is known, has not yet shown signs of changing his last name, but it would not be surprising after a message he published on his private Instagram account was leaked last year. during Father’s Day 2020, where he reproached his father for turning the family’s life “into hell”: “Happy Father’s Day to this world-class idiot! Time and time again you have proven that you are a terrible and despicable person. You have no consideration or empathy for your four young children, who tremble with fear at your presence. You will never understand the damage you have done to my family, because you are unable to see it. You have made the lives of the people closest to me a constant hell. You can tell yourself and the world what you want, but the truth will come out one day,” he wrote.
Earlier this year, Jolie’s lawyers claimed that Pitt’s “history of physical abuse toward Jolie began long before the family’s September 2016 plane trip,” but noted that the flight “marked the first time he also “He directed his physical abuse against the children,” which caused the actress to end the relationship immediately. More recently, a security guard who worked for the former couple, and still works for Pitt, claimed that Jolie allegedly encouraged her children to “avoid” her father during visits, according to court documents obtained by People beginnings of May. The tension and fight between both actors continues, also over the ownership of the vineyards in France where they were married.
