Recent reports have suggested that the relationship between Brad Pitt and the children he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie has deteriorated. While neither side has openly discussed the state of that dynamic, several of Pitt’s kids have notably either dropped or are trying to drop his last name. One of the latest kids to do so is 24-year-old Maddox, who recently filed to do away with the surname “Pitt.” The act of changing one’s name, of course, requires a formal process and, now, Maddox has reportedly taken another step in that regard.
Maddox Jolie-Pitt has officially landed a court date as part of his attempt to change his surname. Per legal documents obtained by In Touch Weekly, Maddox is officially set to head to court on September 14, and it’s there that a judge will hear his reasons for wanting to change his name. More recently, the young man had been using the name “Maddox Jolie,” and that’s how he’s credited in Angelina’s movie, Couture, which opens in U.S. theaters this summer amid the 2026 movie schedule.
