AceShowbiz - Angelina Jolie's children are apparently serious about distancing themselves from their father Brad Pitt. A new photo has confirmed that the former couple's daughter Vivienne did ditch her father's last name on "The Outsiders" playbill.
In the picture obtained and published by ET on Wednesday, June 5, the 15-year-old, who is working as a producer assistant for her mother on the Broadway musical, is only credited as "Vivienne Jolie". The outlet also claims that Vivienne specifically asked not to have her father's last name added on the playbill and it's not due to a lack of space.
The news of Vivienne dropping Pitt from her name first surfaced in late May. She, however, isn't the first of the former Hollywood A-list couple's children who made the bold move. Previously, Zahara snubbed her famous father during a sorority ceremony at Spelman College. In a video which went viral in November 2023, the college student introduced herself as "Zahara Marley Jolie" when joining the Alpha Kappa Alpha organization.
Meanwhile, Shiloh is seemingly going to be the first to make the name change legal. According to TMZ, she filed paperwork requesting a legal name change to drop "Pitt" from her moniker and simply go with "Shiloh Jolie" as her new name, as soon as she has become legally adult. Shiloh filed the doc on Monday, May 27, which happens to be her 18th birthday and Memorial Day.
It was then revealed that Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for the filing herself, indicating that Angelina has no influence or involvement in the process. Her request for the name change has yet to be granted.
As to how Brad reacted to Shiloh's decision, he's reportedly "upset" and blamed Angelina for turning his kids against him. A source told In Touch, "Brad was blindsided by Shiloh dropping his last name, but he wasn't surprised... He feels that Angie has slowly but surely turned their kids against him. She absolutely influenced their decisions to distance themselves from their dad."
