"Maddox is the oldest of the former couple's six children, along with Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 19, and 17-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Several have chosen to drop the 'Pitt' from their surname following their parent's lengthy divorce."
"He's aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name. 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."
"According to California law, one must have name-change legal forms published in a newspaper ad for one month, and once published, the request will show up in the legal notice section of the paper. Only then can a judge approve a petition to change one's name."
Maddox, the 24-year-old eldest son of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, is now credited as Maddox Jolie in his mother's film Couture, having previously used Maddox Jolie-Pitt. This change follows a pattern among the former couple's six children, with multiple siblings dropping 'Pitt' from their surnames. Shiloh filed legal name-change paperwork in July 2024, while Vivienne and Zahara have also been credited without their father's surname in recent projects. California law requires name-change petitions to be published in newspapers for one month before judicial approval. Sources indicate Brad Pitt is aware of and upset by these changes, expressing sadness about the distance from his children.
