\"Vivienne<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Brad Pitt<\/a> and Angelina Jolie<\/a>‘s youngest child, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt<\/a>, is one step closer to dropping her father’s famous last name … making legal moves to become Vivienne Jolie.<\/p>\n

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Vivienne has completed one of California’s required hurdles for a legal name change … publishing notice of her petition in the Los Angeles Daily Journal once a week for four consecutive weeks and calling for anyone opposing the change to submit a written opposition before the final hearing.<\/p>\n

Vivienne ran the notice from July 24 to August 14 … she’s requesting to change her name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie.<\/p>\n

Next up is Vivienne’s November 2 hearing, where a judge can approve the request if no one objects.<\/p>\n

Remember, Vivienne filed to drop the name<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n

A source close to Brad tells us they believe Angelina caused the rift between Brad and their children, adding of the recent name change … “This is alienation the sequel … same script … same sad story.”<\/p>\n

Vivienne’s desire to drop “Pitt” is an ongoing trend with Brad and Angelina’s kids. As we told you, her older sister Zahara<\/a> went through the same process<\/a> in July … and in May, Maddox<\/a> also filed to change his name<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their sister\u00a0Shiloh<\/a> kicked off the trend<\/a> … she published a similar legal notice<\/a> in 2024 before successfully getting the famous last name removed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brad is largely estranged from his 6 children with Angelina … following their bitter 2016 separation, which kicked off years of court battles over custody and their French winery<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brad Pitt’s Daughter Vivienne Newspapers Aren’t Dead, But My Dad’s Name Is Published August 21, 2026 7:30 AM…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":821247,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88],"class_list":["post-821246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=821246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/821247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=821246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=821246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=821246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
