Jolie and Pitt's other daughter Shiloh, 20, has also dropped the actor's last name. It is not known if their son Pax, 22, has stopped using the name as well.
Last year, Shiloh, who was born Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, legally changed her name to Shiloh Jolie.

Pitt and Jolie were involved in a grueling eight-year divorce battle that was finalized in 2024.
The marriage ended after a volatile plane incident in 2016 and abuse allegations, which Pitt has adamantly denied. He has also never been charged with a crime and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services cleared Pitt of physical abuse allegations.
