Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's son Maddox is reportedly taking another step away from his father's surname. According to TMZ, the 24-year-old has filed paperwork to legally change his name from Maddox Jolie-Pitt to Maddox Chivan Jolie.
According to TMZ, the move comes after Maddox was credited professionally as “Maddox Jolie” on Angelina Jolie’s recent film ‘Couture’ (2025), where he worked as an assistant director.
Maddox's latest move follows similar decisions by several of his siblings. Shiloh legally dropped "Pitt" from her name in 2024, while Zahara and Vivienne have publicly used the Jolie surname. The reported filing has renewed attention on the fractured family relationships that emerged following Pitt and Jolie's highly publicized split in 2016.
