Maddox Jolie Pitt , the oldest child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt , legally dropped Pitt from his surname on Monday after a judge approved his name change petition. The ruling came without objections, turning Maddox Jolie Pitt into Maddox Jolie in court records and adding another chapter to the former couple’s long running family dispute. Maddox filed the request earlier this year, according to the report. The court hearing ended with the judge signing off on the change, making Maddox Jolie his official name. Another Pitt Name Change Maddox is not the only Jolie Pitt child to move away from the family surname. Shiloh has also removed Pitt from her last name, while name change requests involving Zahara and Vivienne were still being processed at the time of the report. Sources close to Brad Pitt claimed Angelina Jolie influenced the children’s increasingly distant relationship with their father, but that allegation remains disputed and was not established by the name change ruling. The court decision addressed the legal name request, not the broader family conflict that has followed the former couple for years.
