A shock for Brad Pitt

Knox, the son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, removed the Pitt surname from his high school diploma before his 18th birthday. This move further widens the rift between the actor and his children after their divorce.

Knox, the son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, reportedly dropped his father's last name from his high school diploma just weeks before his 18th birthday. According to Page Six , the teenager used the name "Knox Jolie" on his graduation certificate after completing his studies at Fusion Academy in Los Angeles, USA, in early June.

Knox will turn 18 on July 12th. He attended his graduation ceremony with his mother Angelina Jolie, older brother Pax, older sister Zahara, and twin sister Vivienne. The event quickly attracted attention because it took place amidst a trend of many of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's children dropping the surname "Pitt" from their names.

A source said that Angelina Jolie "seems pleased" after distancing her children from their father. The source suggested that the children changing their last names one by one was sad for the whole family and that it hurt Brad Pitt.

However, another source offers a contrasting perspective. This person claims that Angelina Jolie spent years undergoing family therapy with Brad Pitt and their children, hoping to heal the wounds that led to their divorce. The source added that if Brad is not close to his children, it stems from past traumas.

"The children are now grown up and have the right to make their own decisions. If they choose to distance themselves from their father, it stems from the pain and trauma they have experienced," the source said.

Before Knox, several other children of the couple had also taken similar steps. On June 9th, Zahara filed an application to change her name to Zahara Jolie instead of Zahara Jolie-Pitt. In 2024, Shiloh's request to drop the surname "Pitt" was granted by a Los Angeles court after she turned 18.

Last month, Maddox also filed legal documents to remove the surname “Pitt” from his name, citing personal reasons as stated in court filings. Previously, he had used the name “Maddox Jolie” professionally, including his credits for the film Couture , a project in which he served as assistant director and starred Angelina Jolie.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne. After the couple separated, the relationship between Brad Pitt and his children has repeatedly become a focus of international media attention.
