The oldest of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s six children has reportedly filed paperwork to be known simply as Maddox Jolie. According to TMZ, the 24-year-old has filed legal paperwork to remove “Pitt” from his surname. If approved by a judge, he would legally be known as Maddox Chivan Jolie.

Representatives for Brad Pitt have declined to comment, and there has been no response from Angelina Jolie’s team.

This isn’t the first time Maddox has moved away from the Jolie-Pitt surname. When he served as an assistant director on Angelina Jolie’s 2025 film Couture, he was credited as Maddox Jolie. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and later opened in theaters across France. The change differed from 2024, when he served as a production assistant on the biopic Maria and appeared in the credits as Maddox Jolie-Pitt.

Maddox is the eldest of the six children shared by Jolie and Pitt. Their separation began in 2016, with the divorce not finalized until 2024. Maddox’s siblings, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne have also taken steps away from the Pitt name. In 2024, Vivienne used “Vivienne Jolie” for her work on the Broadway show “The Outsiders,” which Angelina produced. The same year Zahara introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie at a Spelman College sorority event, and she did it again at her graduation in 2026, then there is Shiloh, who dropped “Pitt” entirely after she filed for a name change on her 18th birthday. The court approved it, so now she is Shiloh Jolie.

The developments have fueled ongoing speculation about tension between Brad Pitt and some of his children years after the split – The long-running speculation about tension between Pitt and some of his children has continued over the years

Angelina adopted Maddox back in 2002, before she was with Brad. Pitt adopted him later, and in 2006 a judge gave Maddox and Zahara the full Jolie-Pitt surname. Now, more than twenty years later, that double-barreled last name is fading away from both public view and legal records for several of the Jolie-Pitt kids.

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are now married. The couple tied the knot at a courthouse in London on May 30. They were reportedly seen exiting the Old Marylebone Town Hall, holding hands and accompanied by a small group of family and friends.

The singer chose a modern bridal look from Schiaparelli by Daniel Roseberry, wearing a fitted white blazer with gold tortoiseshell buttons down the front and a subtly flared hem, creating a soft, sculpted silhouette around her hips. She paired it with a matching midi skirt featuring a high-low design.

The look was completed with a wide-brimmed white Stephen Jones hat, satin gloves, and pointed-toe Louboutin heels, while she carried a small bouquet of yellow and pink flowers. For accessories, she wore a Bulgari Serpenti diamond choker and diamond stud earrings. Turner complemented her look in a navy blue suit, styled with a matching shirt and tie.

The couple were first linked in January 2024 after meeting at The River Café in London, where they were introduced by the restaurant’s co-founder. They began dating shortly after, and by the end of that year, engagement rumors began circulating when Lipa was seen wearing a chunky gold and diamond ring, on her ring finger.

She later confirmed the engagement in June 2025 during an interview with British Vogue saying, “Yeah, we’re engaged” describing it as “very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don’t know, be best friends forever, it’s a really special feeling.”

At the time, she implied that they were in no rush to marry, “I want to finish my tour, Callum’s shooting, so we’re just enjoying this period.” She also shared that while she had never imagined her wedding growing up, all of a sudden she had started to think about what kind of bride she would be, adding that she would “love to have kids one day.”
