Pax Jolie-Pitt continues to spend time with relatives on his father’s side, even as several of his siblings move away from the Pitt surname. A recent family dinner marked both celebration and quiet distance — and offered a snapshot of how the Jolie-Pitt clan is reshaping itself after years of public scrutiny.

Those present reportedly included Brad Pitt’s sister, Julie Pitt Neal, and niece Reagan Pitt, along with other close relatives. Insiders described the atmosphere as warm and low-key.
What insiders say about Pax and Brad’s relationship
While Pax keeps ties with his father’s kin, one source told reporters he does not maintain a strong relationship with Brad himself. Details on the pair’s private interactions remain sparse.
Representatives for both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt did not reply to requests for comment about family dynamics or the recent gathering.
Which siblings have moved to drop “Pitt” — a quick guide
Several Jolie-Pitt children have taken formal steps to remove the Pitt surname. Here are the public filings and actions:
- Zahara, 21, filed paperwork to legally change her name to Zahara Jolie.
- Maddox, 24, submitted legal documents to drop “Pitt” and has used Maddox Jolie professionally.
- Shiloh successfully petitioned a Los Angeles court in May 2024 to remove “Pitt” after turning 18.
- Knox used the name Knox Jolie on his high school diploma, a symbolic step before he turns 18 this July.
How the name changes are reflected in careers and credits
Maddox has already appeared under the Jolie name in film credits, including for the project “Couture,” where he worked behind the camera and acted.
The moves to drop the Pitt last name appear driven by personal preference rather than a single public statement.
Recent family outings and public moments
The family made a public appearance at a charity pickleball event in Los Angeles. Pax, Angelina and sister Shiloh were photographed taking part in the Support+Feed Pickleball Invitational and Game Night.
Photographers captured the group playing on the court and enjoying the event. The outing showed the siblings and their mother in a cooperative, supportive role.
Legal closure for Brad and Angelina’s marriage
After years of litigation, Brad Pitt finalized his divorce from Angelina Jolie in December 2024. Jolie originally filed to end the marriage in September 2016.
The settlement closed more than eight years of legal proceedings and public speculation about the family’s private life.
