FAMILY LAW IN CELEBRITY NEWS ⚖️ Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Son Maddox Files to Legally Drop Pitt From His Last Name
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s eldest son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, has filed to legally change his name to Maddox Chivan Jolie, removing “Pitt” from his surname.
Maddox is not the first of the former couple’s children to move away from the Pitt surname. Shiloh legally changed her name to Shiloh Jolie in 2024, while Zahara and Vivienne have also used “Jolie” professionally and personally.
Name changes can be an important legal step following major family changes, including separation or divorce. In British Columbia, the process and requirements depend on your individual circumstances.
