Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 18, recently showcased her original art at a Los Angeles street fair. The event occurred as she seeks to legally remove her father's surname from her identity.
The Tulip Fields and the $25 price point
Operating under the creative moniker The Tulip Fields, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt spent a Saturday in Los Angeles selling a variety of original works.. According to the report, her inventory included stickers, prints, and birthday cards, with some items priced between $10 and $25. Notable pieces included a painting of an octopus and a whimsical card depicting E.T. wearing a pink tutu and ballerina slippers.
The event was a family affair in a limited sense, as Vivienne's twin brother, Knox, assisted with the booth setup and documented the day through photography. While Vivienne kept her attire casual in blue overalls, Knox was noted for his colorful hair and floral embroidered jeans, marking a rare public appearance for the siblings as they navigate their transition into adulthood.
The November 2 hearing for Vivienne Marcheline Jolie
The public art sale comes amidst a formal legal transition. Vivienne Jolie-Pitt has filed a petition to change her legal name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. As reported by the source,this process involves a standard newspaper notice to allow any opposing parties to submit written objections before a final court hearing scheduled for November 2.
Court documents obtained by the Daily Mail indicate that the reason for this name change is "personal." If no objections are filed by the deadline, a judge is expected to approve the request, officially severing the paternal link in her legal identity.
A family pattern from Zahara to Knox
Vivienne's legal move is not an isolated incident but part of a broader trend among the children of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Her older siblings, 25-year-old Maddox and 21-year-old Zahara, have already published notices indicating their intent to drop the Pitt surname. Furthermore, 20-year-old Shiloh has already made the change, and Knox Jolie opted to use only the Jolie name on his high school graduation diploma.
This systematic removal of the father's name suggests a collective shift in identity within the family unit. The trend follows a grueling eight-year divorce battle that was only finalized in 2024, leaving a trail of public estrangement and legal conflict over the children's upbringing and the parents' assets.
Brad Pitt's presence in San Sebastian amid the rift
While his children move to distance themselves legally, Brad Pitt has remained active in the international spotlight. On a Monday following the art fair, the actor was spotted at the 74th San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain. The report describes him wearing a green suede jacket and an orange baseball hat,appearing far removed from the domestic turmoil in Los Angeles.
The tension between the actor and his children stems from a volatile 2016 plane incident and subsequent abuse allegations. Although the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services cleared Brad Pitt of physical abuse and no criminal charges were ever filed, the emotional damage appears persistent. pitt has since moved on in his personal life, dating jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, 33.
The status of Pax's surname and the 'whole truth'
One significant detail remains unverified:whether 22-year-old Pax has also dropped the Pitt name.. Pax has been the most vocal critic of his father, previously describing him as a "world-class a**hole," yet his current legal naming status was not confirmed in the available reports.
Additionally, a source close to Angelina Jolie suggested that the public does not know the "whole truth" regarding the family's collapse, claiming that more information would lead to greater sympathy for the children. However, the specific nature of this "truth" remains undisclosed, leaving the public to speculate on the exact catalyst for the children's coordinated rejection of their father's name.
