Pitt’s relationship with his children has allegedly been strained since the “Bullet Train” actor and Jolie began their divorce proceedings in 2016. Jolie cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split and requested sole custody of their six children.
In May 2021, a private judge ruled that Pitt and Jolie would share custody of their children equally.
At least two other children of Pitt have also chosen to go without using Pitt’s last name, though it is unclear if they have filed legal paperwork for a name change. Vivienne Jolie-Pitt was listed as “Vivienne Jolie” in the Playbill for “The Outsiders,” a production by Jolie.
Additionally, Zahara Jolie-Pitt was introduced as “Zahara Marley Jolie” in a video shared by Essence as she joined Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. at Spelman College.
Pitt and Jolie share six children: Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, Knox, and Vivienne.

Amidst this, Pitt recently accused Jolie of sabotaging his relationship with their children during their ongoing legal battle over Château Miraval. Pitt sued Jolie for breach of contract after she sold her portion of the winery to the Stoli group.
Jolie allegedly encouraged their children to “avoid spending time” with Pitt during custody visits, according to a former security guard’s court documents.
Tony Webb, head of SRS Global, mentioned this alleged sabotage in a 12-page declaration filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Webb claimed Jolie’s aide, Michael Vieira, asked him to prevent two security contractors, bound by non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), from testifying in Pitt and Jolie’s custody battle. Webb explained that he could not comply as the contractors were independent and not his employees.
