Brad Pitt’s son Maddox has officially filed paperwork to remove his father’s last name from his own.
The 24-year-old, who was adopted by Angelina in 2002, and later by Brad in 2006, filed to legally remove “Pitt” from his surname on Thursday.
He will now go by Maddox Chivan Jolie, and listed the reason for his name change as “personal”.
Maddox hinted at the change earlier this year when he worked on Jolie’s new movie, Coutoure, and was credited as “Maddox Jolie”.
He’s become the latest of Pitt’s kids to drop the his surname from their name.
Shiloh, the ex-couple’s first biological child, decided to remove the surname as soon as she turned 18.
Sisters Vivienne Marcheline and Zahara Marley have also both publicly changed their surnames to “Jolie” in public.
Since their messy split, Pitt has been mostly estranged from Angelina and all of their children despite him having visitation time included as a stipulation in their divorce.
A source close to the former couple has claimed that while Pitt remains a popular figure within Hollywood, he’s become nothing more than a pariah to his children.
A pal of the former couple told the Daily Mail: “There has been a campaign of alienation [by Jolie] which has been successful. The antagonism is huge. He has been alienated from the kids completely. It is devastating to him.”
Another source told TMZ that despite not being barred from attending, Pitt made no effort whatsoever to attend the graduation of his daughter, Zahara, last weekend.
“Zahara’s mum and siblings, who have been involved over the four very special years, were present and cheering her and her Spelman sisters on”.
The source added: “Nothing prevented him from showing up for her. Or ever visiting her. The day was about all she accomplished. Not whether he was willing to attend”.
The source added that Pitt failed to communicate any form of desire to attend the event, and never attempted to get tickets.
