‘Nothing To Do With Him’: Brad Pitt’s Daughter Vivienne Drops Actor’s Surname, Picks ‘Jolie’ Instead
The legal dispute between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie regarding their French winery, Chateau Miraval, has escalated and caused a variety of divisions within the family. Even though their ex-partners have been at odds for a while, it seems like their children are suffering more.
The six kids that the co-stars Mr. and Mrs. Smith have together are Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne, Pax, and Maddox. The family tree is being greatly impacted by the combined effects of growing up in the spotlight and their parents’ current broken dynamics.
Following all that may have happened between the former Hollywood “it” couple, their children are at last voicing their opinions about the ongoing family rivalry with actions that have especially developed into quiet killers for Pitt.
Vivienne Jolie
The newest member of the family to allegedly stop using her father’s last name, “Pitt,” is 15-year-old Vivienne.
The teenager was identified as “Vivienne Jolie” in the Playbill credits for The Outsiders, which suggests that she and her sisters had omitted her father’s name, according to InTouchWeekly.
Vivienne Jolie is the couple’s third child to have let go of her father’s last name. Previously, Zahara Marley Jolie introduced herself at a Spelman College sorority event, minus Pitt’s mention. Moreover, Shiloh’s private Instagram account, as previously tagged on choreographer Lil Kellaan Carter’s dance video, highlights her name as “Shi Jolie.”
‘They want nothing to do with Brad’
Despite not being photographed with them in a long time, Pitt has been reportedly meeting his kids on a “regular basis.” A source told InTouch in February that Pitt was doing his best to rebuild their relationship. However, the new turn in the road seemingly speaks louder than words about where Jolie and Pitt’s shared children stand in this divide.
As their kids continue to seemingly drop Pitt’s mention from their names, “the implication is that they want nothing to do with Brad,” an insider told a magazine.
Given the rumours that they are still in contact with their father, why would the pack be following this course of action? The family’s former bodyguard, Tony Webb, suggested that it was possibly all Angelina’s doing. OK Magazine’s report stated that one of his employees heard her “encouraging [the kids] to avoid spending time with Mr Pitt during custody visits.”
The original source who spoke of Pitt’s kids distancing themselves from their father also concluded that the present commotion around the family “basically confirmed Brad’s biggest fear: that Angelina sabotaged his kids’ relationship with him.”
