On May 26, People confirmed the information that in the musical The Outsiders that Vivienne (15 years old) helped her mother – actress Angelina Jolie produce, her name was Vivienne Jolie instead of Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. as before.

Vivienne is not the first child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to drop her father’s last name from her name. Last November, Zahara – the couple’s adopted daughter, introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie at a university event. Back in 2021, Us Weekly reported that Maddox – the Cambodian-born adopted child and the eldest child of the Brangelina couple, also did not want his name to contain Pitt’s last name and only used his mother’s last name Jolie. A source at the time revealed: “Maddox wants to legally change her last name to Jolie, which Angelina said she does not support.”

Vivienne and Zahara’s name change caused speculation about the estranged relationship between Brad Pitt and his children to stir again. Since Angelina Jolie filed for divorce in 2016 and entered a custody battle with her ex-husband, she has been the guardian and parent of the children while Brad Pitt has visitation rights. Over the years, the couple’s six children have rarely seen their father. There are even many sources revealing that the relationship between the Bullet Train actor and his two eldest sons, Maddox and Pax Thien, is not good.
