Vivienne Jolie-Pitt is making a change to her name. Amid the ongoing legal disputes between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, a source informed ET that Vivienne requested to have “Pitt” removed from her name in the playbill for The Outsiders, a Broadway musical where she works as a producer’s assistant.
Instead of being credited as Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, the 15-year-old’s name now appears as Vivienne Jolie in the playbill.
In April, Vivienne attended the musical’s opening night alongside her mother, who serves as a producer. The two looked happy as they posed for photos on the red carpet.
Angelina and Brad, who ended their relationship in 2016 after more than a decade together, share six children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Vivienne and Knox, both 15.
Vivienne’s decision to drop “Pitt” from her name for the show follows a similar choice by her older sister, Zahara, who introduced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie” during an event at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia.
Shiloh seems to be the first Jolie-Pitt child to take legal action regarding their name. A source told ET that Shiloh filed papers requesting to be known as Shiloh Jolie on her 18th birthday, which was on May 27.
“Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn’t know and can’t speak for it,” a source told ET.
Regarding Brad’s feelings about the situation, a source told ET, “Brad has always loved being a father and loves his children. This situation is upsetting to him, and he recognizes that things have been difficult for him and the whole family.”
“Brad has made a tremendous effort to grow and learn from all of his experiences,” the source added. “He would love to find a way to continue to do this, repair things with his kids, and for everyone to get to a better place.”
Meanwhile, Angelina recently celebrated her 49th birthday with all six kids by her side.
“Angelina celebrated her birthday with a quiet day at home with all of her kids,” a source told ET. “Zahara is home from college, and everyone enjoyed spending the day together.”
