Knox, the youngest son of Hollywood actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has dropped "Pitt" from his name, confirmed Page Six.

The teenager, who graduated from Fusion Academy in Los Angeles earlier this month, used the name "Knox Jolie" on his high school diploma.

This change comes amid a long-standing family feud between his parents and follows similar decisions made by several of his siblings.

The name change is the latest development in the ongoing feud between Jolie and Pitt.

A source told the outlet that Jolie "seems quite pleased with herself about the total success of her long-standing, intense, deliberate effort to alienate her children from their father."

However, another source claimed, "Angelina participated in years of family therapy with Brad and the children for everyone to try to heal after the events that led her to file for divorce."

Knox's name change follows a pattern set by his siblings.

On Tuesday, June 9, Zahara filed paperwork to change her name to Zahara Jolie.

In 2024, Knox's older sister Shiloh successfully petitioned a Los Angeles court to legally remove "Pitt" from her last name after turning 18.

Last month, their older brother Maddox also filed legal documents seeking to drop "Pitt" from his last name for personal reasons.
