Another one of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s kids drop father’s surname

 

It looks like another Jolie-Pitt child is dropping “Pitt” from their name.

 

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s eldest son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, dropped Pitt from his last name in the credits of his newest movie which he did with his mother.

 

Maddox, 24, worked as an assistant director on “Couture,” a newly released drama starring his mom. Angelina plays the role of Maxine Walker, a woman diagnosed with breast cancer whose life intersects with two other women during Paris Fashion Week.

 

When the film debuted in French movie theaters Wednesday, Feb. 25, Maddox’s name was listed as “Maddox Jolie” in the end credits, People reported.

 

In 2024, the executive producer’s name was listed as Maddox Jolie-Pitt in the credits for “Maria,” which starred Jolie as late opera singer Maria Callas.

 

But, he has now dropped Pitt from his name.

 

Angelina Jolie, 50, shares five other kids with her ex-husband Brad Pitt. The kids are Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 19, and 17-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

 

Maddox isn’t the only one of the actor’s kids to drop his last name.

 

Zahara left off “Pitt” from her name during her Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated induction ceremony at Spelman College in Atlanta in 2023.

 

During the probate, the then-teen referred to herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie.”

 

In 2024, Shiloh, who is Brad Pitt’s biological child, also dropped her dad’s surname in “The Outsiders” Playbill.

 

The dancer — who helped mom Jolie produce the Broadway play — was listed as “Vivienne Jolie” in the magazine for theatergoers.

 

A source told People that Brad, 62, was “aware and upset” that his and Jolie’s first biological daughter, Shiloh, dropped his last name.

 

“He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name. He’s never felt more joy than when she was born. He always wanted a daughter,” the insider said at the time.

 

“The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad.”
