Shiloh Jolie, the second eldest daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has reportedly managed to officially remove the word “Pitt” from her last name.
The 18-year-old’s request for a name change was granted by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Monday, according to an order obtained by People, TMZ and Page Six.
USA TODAY has contacted Pitt’s attorney.
Jolie, born Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, filed the request to use only her mother’s maiden name on May 27, her 18th birthday, according to a filing obtained by USA TODAY. As required by California law, Jolie published weekly public notices in a newspaper ahead of her scheduled hearing about her efforts to change her name to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.
Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 49, have six children together: Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
In September 2016, Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt, but the couple does not appear to have finalized their divorce. People reported in May that Vivienne also deleted “Pitt” from the Playbill credits of the hot new Broadway musical “The Outsiders,” which Jolie produced.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt files lawsuits against Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Jolie’s name change followed a years-long legal battle between her parents.
Pitt and Jolie are engaged in an ongoing legal battle over the finances of their Château Miraval winery. In a motion last month, Pitt’s lawyers asked a judge to deny Jolie’s request to release his private communications, including those related to a 2016 family trip during which Pitt allegedly assaulted Jolie and her children aboard a private jet.
“These private third-party communications have nothing to do with the issues and allegations in this case,” the filing, obtained by USA TODAY, says. “However, Jolie wants them nonetheless as part of her efforts to turn this business dispute into a renegotiation of the former couple’s divorce proceedings.”
Pitt’s request was in response to a motion filed by Jolie’s lawyers in April seeking disclosures from Pitt and his company, Mondo Bongo, regarding a confidentiality agreement that Jolie’s team said Pitt had asked her to sign as a condition of purchasing her shares in the winery.
Jolie’s filing also alleges that Pitt abused Jolie during their relationship in the past.
“Although Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie began long before the family’s September 2016 flight from France to Los Angeles, that flight was the first time he took out his physical abuse on the children. Jolie immediately left him,” the court document states.
In their July lawsuit, Pitt’s lawyers claim he “voluntarily offered to provide sufficient documentation to substantiate all of the events on the flight that led to the ex-couple’s divorce.”
In September 2016, reports emerged that Pitt was being investigated by the FBI and the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services for the in-flight altercation.
Two months later, the FBI confirmed to USA TODAY that the agency had reviewed the allegations and closed its investigation. No charges were filed against the actor. He was also cleared of child abuse charges by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.
If you are a victim of domestic violence, National hotline for domestic violence cases (thehotline.org) allows you to speak confidentially with trained advocates online or over the phone. This is recommended for those who believe their online activities are being monitored by their abuser (800-799-7233). They can help survivors develop a plan to achieve safety for themselves and their children.
