Angelina’s Son Legally Named Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s latest family addition has officially taken their surnames.
A Santa Monica court on Thursday approved Pax Thien’s name change to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt, a court clerk confirms to PEOPLE.
Pax, 3, was adopted from a Vietnamese orphanage in March, joining Pitt and Jolie’s three other children, Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 1.
Because Vietnamese law makes it difficult for unmarried couples to adopt, Jolie adopted Pax on her own, but he is being raised by both the actress and Pitt.
In April, Jolie formally requested that the court change her new son’s name to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.
In January 2006, after Jolie made a similar request in the same court, her other adopted children, Maddox and Zahara, were officially named Jolie-Pitt.
