Angelina Jolie and her youngest daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 15, supported Kristen Bell at opening night of the Reefer Madness: The Musical revival in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The Oscar-winner, 48, and the teen — who is one of six children she shares with ex-husband Brad Pitt — posed for photos with Bell on the red carpet at The Whitley located on iconic Hollywood Blvd.

The sighting comes after it was discovered that Vivienne has dropped ‘Pitt’ from her last name amid Angelina and Brad’s bitter divorce battle.

It was also reported Thursday that Angelina and Brad’s 18-year-old daughter Shiloh is requesting her name be legally changed to ‘Shiloh Jolie,’ as per TMZ, despite Brad’s desire to repair their ‘broken’ bond.

Angelina looked triumphant as she smiled with one arm wrapped around Vivienne ahead of the performance.

For the event, the Changeling actress cut a chic figure in a fitted black blazer and skinny trousers styled with a white T-shirt with a gray necktie printed on the front.

She kept sunglasses over her eyes as she braved the cameras with Vivienne, who paired Converse sneakers with a button-up shirt, black vest and baggy pants.

Bell, 43, dazzled in a plunging navy blue gown that showed off her cleavage.

The Good Place star is co-producing the 25th anniversary revival— which spoofs the infamous 1936 anti-marijuana ad of the same name — with fellow original stars Christian Campbell and Alan Cumming.

Christian appeared as ‘Jimmy Harper’ in the first-ever Los Angeles show back in 1998 while Kristen joined the cast as ‘Mary Lane’ when the musical made its Off-Broadway debut in NYC the following year.

Alan joined the Reefer Madness universe as ‘President Roosevelt’ and other minor characters when a TV movie adaptation aired in 2005, which also saw the return of Christian and Kristen.

The eight-week engagement kicked off Thursday night and includes a neighboring speakeasy, The Reefer Den, for post-show festivities on the historic Walk Of Fame.

Bell had the support of her husband Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast co-host Monica Padman and Modern Family alum Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Scream icon Neve Campbell — who plays ‘Miss Poppy’ in the 2005 Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical that aired on Showtime — was also in attendance for opening night.

The actress, 50, hit the red carpet in a vibrant green animal-print dress and silver sandals that showed off her shiny red pedicure.

Campbell recently rejoined the Scream franchise after she refused to return for a seventh installment due to a pay dispute.

Lake Bell arrived shortly after in a black crop top with yellow, red and green fringe and a matching ankle-length skirt.

The New Girl star carried a bright green clutch and bundled up with a red and white striped shawl.

Angelina and Vivienne are newly connected to the Broadway realm as they recently worked on The Outsiders musical, which has been nominated for 12 Tony Awards. 

Vivienne helped her mother produce the show, which is based off the classic 1983 film of the same name starring Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Rob Lowe and Tom Cruise.

The Outsider premiered at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on April 11 but it was only recently discovered that Vivienne is listed as ‘Vivienne Jolie,’ instead of ‘Vivienne Jolie-Pitt,’ in the production’s official Playbill.

It remains unknown if Vivienne has legally changed her name but her big sister Shiloh, who rang in her 18th birthday just days ago, is asking that her new legal name be Shiloh Jolie, according to TMZ.

Along with Vivienne and Shiloh, Angelina and Brad are also parents to Vivienne’s twin brother Knox and three adopted children: Zahara, 19, Pax, 20, and Maddox, 22.

According to the outlet, Zahara and Maddox also reportedly don’t use Pitt as their surname, although they haven’t made filings to legally change their names. 

Shiloh’s name change request has yet to be approved due to filing the documents just days earlier on Memorial Day. 

Brad and Angelina began dating after he and then-wife, Jennifer Aniston, announced their divorce in 2005.

The two later tied the knot in 2014, with the Maleficent actress filing for divorce in 2016 after only two years of marriage. Three years later in 2019, Brad and Angelina were declared legally single.

However, the stars are still embroiled in an ongoing divorce battle and the actor reportedly has a strained relationship with this children.

DailyMail.com revealed earlier this month that the couple’s former bodyguard had accused Jolie of trying to poison their kids’ bond with their father.

A source close to the star recently told DailyMail.com that the actor is ‘confident’ he can strengthen his relationship with budding dancer, Shiloh, following her 18th birthday.

The insider explained the reasoning is because she is now legally an adult, and therefore free to make her own decisions about the time they spend together.

‘Now that Shiloh is 18, she can make up her own mind as far as how she wants her relationship with her father to develop.’

The source went on to say that since the couple split, the actress has made sure their children have had ‘limited involvement’ with their father.

‘It is still that way with the underage ones, but with Shiloh that is no longer Angie’s choice,’ they continued. ‘If Shiloh chooses to have limited contact with her dad, that is her decision.’

The source said that Pitt would still ‘love her unconditionally,’ no matter what she chose to do.

‘The difference between now and [a few] days ago [before her birthday] is that Shiloh makes the choice,’ they pointed out.

The insider continued saying that now he can contact his daughter without repercussions from Jolie.

‘Everyone is confident that they will, in time, rekindle the bond that was broken by the divorce,’ they said confidently. ‘Keeping Shiloh from Brad is no longer an option for Angelina.’

Meanwhile, a second source told DailyMail.com that Brad would ‘never stand down’ from his duties as a father and will ‘always’ be just a phone call away if his children want to get a hold of him.

‘That is just the maturity he has within himself and the guy Brad is and always has been,’ they explained.

The insider continued: ‘As the kids get older and are able to make more decisions for themselves, if it is Shiloh or anyone else, if those decisions pose a positive or negative outlook on the father he wants to be, he understands that they are adults and can decide what they want to do.’

The source declared that Pitt was ‘first and foremost’ about being there for his kids.

‘Angie can make them think differently but the truth is, Brad always wants them to know that he has their back,’ they said, adding the truth ‘always seems to find a way to find itself to the forefront.’

‘Brad never wants to regret, so when he is 70, 80, or 90, he would always love to see his kids and have a relationship with them.’

‘He would love Shiloh to start making her own decisions and him to be in the mix for her future, so he just has to see what happens and hope for the best.’

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for both Pitt and Jolie for comment.

The exes have since been embroiled in not only a contentious custody battle since they split, but also have also argued over the circumstances under which their relationship ended and their ongoing business affairs.

Earlier in May, a source alleged the Hollywood actress of trying to drive a wedge between her estranged husband and their six kids in the aftermath of their split, according to court filings lodged at LA Superior Court.

In an explosive declaration seen by DailyMail.com, a ex-bodyguard for the couple, former British SAS solider Tony Webb, claimed he was informed by his own contractors that Jolie was pushing for her children to avoid Pitt when she had custody of them.

In April, DailyMail.com reported that the actress and mother-of-six accused her 60-year-old estranged spouse of being physically and emotionally abusive before the private jet incident in 2016.

Pitt has denied all allegations of physical abuse and was not charged following an FBI probe into the incident on the flight.

Along with Vivienne and Shiloh, Angelina and Brad — who split in 2016 — are also parents to Vivienne’s twin brother Knox and three adopted children: Zahara, 19, Pax, 20, and Maddox, 22

In March this year, DailyMail.com reported that the couple was finally approaching the finish line in their epic legal war, with an end expected by the summer after the actor reportedly dropped his pursuit seeking shared custody.

While Pitt had originally sought a 50/50 arrangement relating to their six kids, an insider revealed that he was no longer contesting the matter.

That means that Jolie would retain primary physical custody of the children and he would have visitation rights.

Adopted son Pax allegedly hasn’t spoken to the Fight Club alum since the now-infamous private plane fight which ended the marriage, and is said to not even regard Brad as a parent anymore.

Back in 2020, on his private Instagram account, he called Brad a ‘world class a**hole’ and ‘despicable person’ who made his four youngest children ‘tremble in fear,’ as previously revealed by DailyMail.com.

Since Pitt and Jolie’s split, the Fight Club actor has since sparked up a romance with Ines de Ramon – with the pair first being linked in November 2022.

The star and the jewelry executive have reportedly moved in together, and a source told People in February that the actor ‘is happy to live with her too. They were spending a lot of time at Brad’s.’

‘It only made sense for her to move in. Their relationship is serious. This is Brad’s first girlfriend since the divorce. He didn’t settle and it’s paying off. He loves dating Ines.’
