Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Vivienne, 15, ‘drops’ dad’s last name
It's the latest update amid Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's messy legal battle
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Vivienne, 15, appears to have 'dropped' her dad’s last name.
The reports come in the midst of Jolie, 48, and Pitt's, 60, messy legal dispute following the breakdown of their marriage nearly a decade ago.
The former couple welcomed Vivienne, 15 back in 2008, alongside her twin Knox.
They also share Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 17.

The Maleficent star and the Fight Club actor ended their 12-year relationship in 2016 with Jolie citing irreconcilable differences.
In the years that followed, however, Pitt attempted to sue his ex-wife for selling her share of their jointly-purchased French winery Chateau Miraval to a third party.
In response, Jolie filed a countersuit in 2022, alleging her ex-husband had been abusive to herself and her children during a 2016 flight on a private jet.
The silver screen star's cross-complaint alleged that Brad had 'choked' one of their children onboard the flight, as well as having 'struck another in the face', 'grabbed' Angelina 'by the head', and 'poured beer and red wine on the children'.
However, Brad denied the accusations made against him.
New papers submitted to the Los Angeles Superior Court a few months back in April also contained some bombshell accusations - namely detailing the alleged abuse by Pitt against Jolie.
Such claims have been categorically denied by Pitt.
Since then, it appears as if yet another one of the former couple's six children has dropped 'Pitt' from her surname.
The teenager, who helped her mom produce the new musical, The Outsiders, which has also recently earned several Tony nominations, was reportedly listed as Vivienne Jolie in the Playbill, instead of Vivienne Jolie-Pitt.
At this point, it's not yet confirmed as to whether Vivienne has legally changed her name.
It seems as if Vivienne is following in her sister Zahara's footsteps as, when she joined her sorority at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, last year, she also dropped 'Pitt' from her last name.
Instead, she introduced herself as just Zahara Jolie.
Speaking of her daughter's work on the new musical, Jolie told HELLO!: "Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn't focused on being the centre of attention but in being a support to other creatives."
She added: "She's very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute."
