Will any additional child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt formally drop the “Pitt” surname by the end of 2026?

Reports indicate that Maddox now uses the name Maddox Jolie in film credits, having previously used Jolie-Pitt. Other siblings — including Zahara, Vivienne, and Shiloh — have also reportedly distanced themselves from the “Pitt” surname in public or legal contexts. The high-profile history of the Jolie–Pitt divorce and custody proceedings has fueled speculation about growing estrangement between Brad Pitt and some of his children. However, neither Pitt nor Jolie has publicly commented on the latest developments. The uncertainty lies in whether additional children will take formal legal steps to remove “Pitt” from their surname — or whether recent changes remain limited to public or professional usage.
