The filing marks the latest indication that Vivienne<\/a> has distanced herself from the Pitt surname.<\/p>\n In May 2024, Vivienne was credited as “Vivienne Jolie”<\/a> in the Playbill<\/a> for Broadway’s The Outsiders<\/a>, which she helped produce alongside her mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n Vivienne also isn’t the first of Jolie, 51, and Pitt’s six children<\/a> to take steps toward dropping “Pitt” from her name.<\/p>\n Zahara<\/a> is seeking to legally change her name to Zahara Marley Jolie, while Maddox<\/a> is requesting to become Maddox Chivan Jolie.\u00a0In 2024, Shiloh published an announcement <\/a>in The Los Angeles Times to drop Pitt from her name and change it to Shiloh Jolie.<\/p>\n “It’s sad to see someone repeatedly publicize their successful alienation of their children from the other parent,” a source close to Pitt previously told PEOPLE.<\/p>\n Their petitions remain pending, with Zahara’s hearing<\/a> scheduled for Sept. 28 and Maddox’s<\/a> set for Sept. 14, according to previous court documents obtained by PEOPLE.<\/p>\n Vivienne, who was born alongside her twin brother, Knox<\/a>, in July 2008, is the youngest of Jolie and Pitt’s six children.<\/p>\n “I have six very individual human beings in my home. I am so excited about all the different stages and feelings and curiosities that they go through. Why wouldn’t you be?” Jolie told PEOPLE in October 2021<\/a>. “We’re supposed to help them figure out who they are. And you can’t figure out who they are if you don’t enthusiastically develop with them.”<\/p>\n Angelina Jolie with children Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt, Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt, Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt and Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt attend “The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind” Special Screening on February 25, 2019 in New York City.

The divorce was finalized<\/a> in late 2024 after a protracted legal battle. However, they remain locked in an ongoing dispute over Ch\u00e2teau Miraval, the French winery they once owned together.\u00a0<\/p>\n Earlier this month, Jolie argued<\/a> in court papers obtained by PEOPLE that Pitt had mischaracterized her claims in an effort to obtain years of her financial records.<\/p>\n![\"Angelina](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/people_218\/d330dd2b7ada1a5465cfcf59161c813d.jpeg\"\/)
