## Summary

Knox Jolie-Pitt, 18, is reportedly expected to legally remove “Pitt” from his surname, though he has not filed a petition. If he does, he would be the fifth of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s six children to drop their father’s name, amid the family’s long-running estrangement.

Knox has already used “Knox Jolie” on his high school diploma. His twin sister Vivienne recently obtained a legal name change, while Zahara also changed her surname; the article says other siblings have taken similar steps. Sources quoted by the article give conflicting accounts of the family rift, and representatives for Brad, Angelina and Knox did not respond to requests for comment.
