Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter Vivienne has dropped her dad’s last name on the playbill for her new musical The Outsiders.
The former couple, who split in 2016, welcomed Vivienne, 15, in 2008 alongside her twin Knox.
Brad, 60, and Angelina, 48, also share Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 17.
As their increasingly messy divorce continues, Vivienne is named Vivienne Jolie in the playbill rather than Vivienne Jolie-Pitt as she has been previously.
It is not clear if Vivienne has legally changed her name.
She is not the first of their children to seemingly drop Pitt from their name, with Zahara introducing herself as Zahara Marley Jolie when joining the Mu Pi chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College in November.

Shiloh also appeared to have dropped the name after she was tagged as Shi Jolie in her recent viral dance video.
In 2022, a source told People Brad was hoping to improve his relationship with his children, which has been in ‘a bad situation for years.’
‘Since Angelina filed for divorce, Brad has been focused on having the best relationship possible with his kids. It’s been very difficult for him. Many times, there have been long gaps where he didn’t see the kids at all,’ the insider continued.
It comes as Angelina claimed Brad was abusive towards her before the 2016 plane incident that led to the end of their 10-year marriage.
The Maleficent star, 48, and Fight Club actor, 60, separated in 2016 after Brad was accused of being drunk and aggressive during a flight from France to California.

Court documents in their dispute over their Miraval winery see Angelina’s lawyers allege there was a ‘history of physical abuse’ toward the actress from her former spouse predating 2016. Brad denies the claims made against him.
More recently, fresh court documents include claims that security guard Tony Webb – who works for Brad and previously worked for the former couple – claimed Angelina encouraged their children to ‘avoid’ Brad during custody visits.
It comes amid their battle over Miraval winery, which began in October 2021 when Angelina sold her half of the winery to Tenute del Mondo, a subsidiary of Stoli Group.
Brad then sued her in 2022 for allegedly going against an agreement he said they had made not to sell up without getting approval from the other.
