Over the past two years, four of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's six children have dropped 'Pitt' from their names in court documents, graduation programmes and professional credits, signalling a clear break from their father's surname.
Records and public listings show that their decisions, made at key life milestones during this period, have turned a private family rift into a visible shift in how the once-branded Jolie-Pitt clan presents itself to the world. The pattern began with Shiloh's legal name change on her 18th birthday and has since included Zahara's petition, Maddox's updated film credits and Vivienne's Broadway Playbill listing.
