After an allegedly violent incident against one of their six children, Angelina Jolie separated from Brad Pitt in 2016. To this day, the Hollywood star's relationship with his family is considered strained. Now the second daughter has already renounced his surname.
Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, the twin daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, appears to have dropped the “Pitt” from her surname. In the theater program for the new musical “The Outsiders,” which she helped her mother Jolie produce, she is only listed as “Vivienne Jolie.” This was reported by the US magazine “People.” It is still unclear whether she has officially changed her surname.
The 15-year-old is listed as a production assistant for the play “The Outsiders.” Her mother's brief description reads: “Angelina is thrilled to be working on her first project as a theater producer alongside her daughter Vivienne, who studies theater and promotes the arts.” Jolie announced her plans to produce the show – an adaptation of Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 film – in August 2023. The play premiered in April.
Zahara also deleted the “Pitt”
Vivienne is not the first of the former Hollywood couple's six children to attract attention with a name change. Her sister Zahara, who is four years older, also introduced herself without the addition of “Pitt”: As a video showed, she simply called herself “Zahara Marley Jolie” when she was accepted into the AKA fraternity at Spelman College last November. The relationship between Brad Pitt and his children has been strained for years.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt separated more than seven years ago and fought for years over custody of their six children. The actress filed for divorce in 2016 – to the surprise of the public. Although the stars had been together since 2005, they only married in 2014. After Brad Pitt allegedly freaked out on a plane and physically attacked son Maddox, Jolie separated. The couple has three biological and three adopted children.
