Vivienne Jolie-Pitt Sells Artwork at LA Street Fair, Twin Brother Knox Provides Support
Eighteen-year-old Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, who recently dropped her father's surname, showcased her art at a Los Angeles street fair with her twin brother Knox by her side.
Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 18, is pursuing a career as a visual artist, recently participating in a Los Angeles street fair to sell her artwork. Her twin brother, Knox, was present to support her, assisting with setting up the booth and keeping her company throughout the event. The young artist operated under the name "The Tulip Fields," offering a range of items including prints, stickers, and birthday cards featuring her original drawings and paintings, with prices ranging from $10 to $25. Vivienne successfully sold many of her pieces during the fair.
Vivienne's artistic endeavor comes months after she took steps to legally drop her father Brad Pitt's surname. She filed a petition to change her name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie, a process that involves a public notice in The Los Angeles Daily Journal. This notice is a precursor to a judge's final approval, which is contingent on no formal objections being filed by a set date. The court documents reportedly cite 'personal' reasons for the name change.
Vivienne's decision to drop Pitt's surname follows similar actions by some of her older siblings. Maddox, 25, and Zahara, 21, have previously published notices indicating their intent to drop the surname. Shiloh, 20, has also reportedly dropped the actor's last name. Knox was listed as Knox Jolie on his high school graduation diploma. While reports suggest Pax, 22, has had a contentious relationship with Pitt and may have also dropped the name, it is not definitively confirmed.
Pitt and Jolie, once considered a prominent Hollywood couple, were together from 2005 until their marriage ended in 2016 following an incident on a private plane. Allegations of abuse were made, which Pitt has denied. Investigations by the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services cleared him of physical abuse claims. Their divorce proceedings concluded in 2024 after an eight-year legal battle. Pitt is currently reported to be in a relationship with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon.
A source close to Jolie has stated that her focus is on healing for everyone involved and that the children's quiet dignity in handling the situation shows their decency. Conversely, a source told the Daily Mail that Pitt finds the rift with his children 'deeply painful' and believes Jolie's role in the situation constitutes a 'betrayal.'
