Thursday May 28, the eldest son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt requested the legal abandonment of his father’s name. If this request is accepted, the young man will be called: Maddox Chivan Jolie.
There are now four who no longer want to bear the Pitt name. This Thursday, May 28, Maddox, the son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, filed an official request to legally emancipate himself from his father’s last name. According toPage Sixwho managed to obtain the legal documents for this request, the 24-year-old young man allegedly cited “personal” reasons. If this is accepted, the eldest of the siblings will be called Maddox Chivan Jolie, instead of Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt. Last February, the big brother of Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne had already indicated that he wanted to free himself from the Pitt name.
In fact, when the film was released Seams, spectators discovered that the young boy, who contributed to the production of the feature film in which his mother plays, was credited only with the name Jolie in the credits of the feature film. This decision follows tensions between Brad Pitt and his children. Since Angelina Jolie’s divorce filing in 2016, the actor and actress have engaged in an endless legal and media war. Their official separation was declared in April 2019. During this battle, the star of Tomb Raider accused her ex-husband of having been violent against her and two of their children during a trip on a private jet. The couple’s six children then began to take sides.

Indeed, Maddox is not the only one to have publicly emancipated himself from his father’s name. A few weeks earlier, Zahara had graduated with her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Spelman University in Atlanta, reports Page Six. The 21-year-old young woman then went on stage to collect her certificate and was announced as: “Zahara Marley Jolie”. A year later, it was Shiloh who took her mother’s side by officially dropping the name Pitt from her civil registration when she turned 18. She had made this request four years earlier, shortly after her parents’ divorce. Then her youngest sister, Vivienne, did the same thing. While assisting her mother on the musical The Outsidersin 2024, she signed her participation as Vivienne Jolie in the project credits. Only Knox and Pax retained the movie star’s name. It remains to be seen who will be next to get rid of it.
