Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter Vivienne has officially dropped her father’s famous last name.
A Los Angeles judge granted the 18-year-old’s petition to legally change her name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie during a hearing Monday, Page Six can exclusively confirm.
Vivienne’s attorney, Peter Kenneth Levine, appeared remotely for Monday morning’s hearing.
Judge Virginia Keeny, who presided over the hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court’s Stanley Mosk Courthouse, read aloud the names of those whose name change petitions had been approved.
The judge explained, “These are name change petitions, which are going to be granted. That means that I can read the information provided and sign a decree, and you’ll be able to get a copy of the decree in possibly one week in room 112 in the first floor of this building, the Stanley Mosk Courthouse.
“So if you hear your name, you can sign off, and you can get your paperwork in a week. I’m going to read both the last name and also the last four numbers of the case,” she said.
Vivienne initially filed her petition on July 20, just eight days after celebrating her 18th birthday alongside her twin brother, Knox.
In court documents obtained by Page Six at the time, the teenager cited “personal” reasons for wanting to remove “Pitt” from her surname.
Vivienne has already been publicly using her mother’s last name for more than two years.
In May 2024, she was credited as “Vivienne Jolie” in the Playbill for the Broadway production of “The Outsiders,” which she helped her mother produce.
She now joins three of her siblings who have also legally dropped Pitt’s surname.
In September, Zahara, 21, officially changed her name from Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Marley Jolie after a Los Angeles judge granted her petition.
Their older brother Maddox, 25, also legally removed “Pitt” from his name that month, becoming Maddox Chivan Jolie.
Meanwhile, Shiloh, 20, was the first of the former couple’s six children to legally drop their father’s last name after filing a petition on her 18th birthday in May 2024. Her request was granted that August.
Vivienne’s twin brother, Knox, also omitted “Pitt” from his high school diploma earlier this year, although he not been confirmed to have legally changed his name.
Jolie, 51, and Pitt, 62, also share son Pax, 22.
The name changes come amid the former couple’s family estrangement following their contentious split.
The “Maleficent” star filed for divorce from the “F1” actor in September 2016 after two years of marriage. The former couple were declared legally single in 2019 before finally settling their divorce in December 2024 following an eight-year legal battle.

Netflix is back in business with the Coen Brothers with its global acquisition of the sinister gothic mystery film Jack of Spades, which will be getting a fall 2027 theatrical release ahead of its drop on the streamer.
The multi-Oscar-winning duo previously had the western anthology feature The Ballad of Buster Scruggs on the streamer back in 2018; the pic notched three Oscar noms.
Joel Coen directs Jack of Spades off a screenplay he wrote with Ethan Coen and Eleanor Catton and Conor McPherson. The project reps their first teaming behind the scenes in quite some time after they’ve separately made their own movies: Joel with Apple’s The Tragedy of Macbeth starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand, and Ethan with the crime comedies Drive-Away Dolls and Honey Don’t!
Jack of Spades, which is billed as pic with intrigue and betrayal set in the Scottish Highlands, stars Patsy Ferran (Living, Darkest Hour, God’s Own Country), Josh O’Connor (Challengers, Wake Up Dead Man, God’s Own Country), Damian Lewis (Homeland, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood) and Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread, The Crown, Another Year). The project is based on Frances Frederica Montrésor’s 1901 novel The Alien: A Story of Middle Age.
Joel Coen reunites here with Oscar-nominated cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel (Inside Llewyn Davis) and longtime composer Carter Burwell, who the brothers have worked with since their 1984 feature directorial debut Blood Simple.
Producers are Robert Graf, McDormand and Joel Coen, Steven Rales for Indian Paintbrush, Graham Broadbent and Pete Czernin for Blueprint Pictures. Donald MacKinnon is an EP.
Joel Coen is a four-time Oscar winner, taking three (Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay and Directing) for No Country for Old Men and Original Screenplay for Fargo. He reteams with wife McDormand after The Tragedy of Macbeth. Rales won the Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film for producing The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. Netflix is also reteaming with O’Connor after Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man in 2025 and his Emmy-winning turn as Prince Charles in The Crown.
The Coens are repped by UTA and attorney Pat Murphy. UTA represented the sale.

Influencer and OnlyFans star Liam Fitzgerald died on Friday, Oct. 30, after sustaining “severe injuries” from a motorcycle crash, his girlfriend Jamie Lyn Rinaldi announced in a post uploaded to Instagram on Sunday.
“He suffered severe injuries, and despite the efforts of those who tried desperately to save him, they were unable to bring him back,” she wrote in the post. “There are no words to describe the heartbreak of this loss. This is an incredibly difficult and heartbreaking time of everyone who knew and loved him.”
She continued, “Please keep Liam’s family, loved ones, and everyone closest to him in your thoughts and prayers. Please give us the grace, love, and privacy as they navigate this unimaginable loss. Rest peacefully, Liam we love you so much.”
The 29-year-old fitness influencer amassed over one million followers across Instagram and TikTok, sharing workout advice and motivational content. His family issued a statement on Fitzgerald’s account, remembering their “shining star.”
“He had a way of lighting up every room he walked into, a personality impossible to forget, and a heart that loved deeply,” the statement reads. “From family and friends to teammates, strangers, and people around the world, he inspired so many. He loved his people fiercely and would protect them with everything he had.”
The family went on to write that he had “struggles” and managed to work through them: “He battled with alcohol on and off and knew it was hurting him. This is shared in the hope that his story reaches someone who needs it. If you’re fighting that battle, please stay strong, reach out to your loved ones, and ask for help. You don’t have to fight alone. Keep going.”
They ended their statement saying, “His laughter, energy, accomplishments, and the memories he created will live on through everyone he touched. Hug your people tighter, tell them you love them, forgive when you can, and never assume you have more time,” and signed it: “Penny, Natalie, Dermot, Bethany, and girlfriend Jamie [Rinaldi].”
Rinaldi also uploaded an Instagram story to “clarify a few things so everyone understands”: while the two of them had their own issues in the relationship, they recently reconnected and were working on it. “He apologized, wanted to make things right, and showed me every single day that he was willing to put in the effort to change. I love this man, and I chose to give him another chance,” she wrote. “I forgave him, and we were working on building something beautiful together again.”
She also said that they intentionally did not share much of their relationship online, adding, “We spent so much time together and chose to keep our relationship private because social media can be overwhelming, and we wanted to focus on us without outside opinions.” Rinaldi said just a few days ago they decided to be a couple again and were “making progress and excited about the future we were building together.”
Her latest statement ends as she writes, “Please understand that this is the hardest thing I have ever had to face. Losing someone you love so deeply and so suddenly is unimaginable. My heart is completely broken, and the last thing needed right now is judgment, assumptions, or speculation about our relationship. I loved Liam with all my heart. What we shared was real; it was special, and from day one, he had a place in my heart that nobody else could ever fill.”

The day before his successor as California’s governor is elected in the high stakes midterms, Gavin Newsom is going out with a bang.
A more than billion dollar film and television bang,to be precise.
In what would be termed a seismic November surprise in any other normal election year, potential POTUS contender Newsom is proposing hiking the Golden State’s $750 million tax incentive film and TV program to more than $1 billion.
Newsom’s big move would make California’s heavily subscribed big and small screen tax credits the largest capped program in the United States. While Georgia’s media tax incentive has long been uncapped, hiking California’s investment (which is what the California Film Commission-run tax credits program has lucratively proved to be) to $1 billion could leave New York (and its bulging production) in the bicoastal dust.
“At least $1 billion in tax credits means more investment flowing into our economy and more opportunity across the industry,” the term-limited Newsom said Monday morning. “Through this expansion, we will maintain the momentum and success of our historic expansion last year. But states can’t shoulder the cost alone, which is why I am calling on Congress to back up an expanded tax credit by passing national film and TV tax credit legislation already on the table.”
The much hyped bipartisan federal plan, backed by strange bedfellows of Donald Trump, Newsom, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the Hollywood guilds, studios, streamers and MAGA loyalists, remains on the procedural back burner until at least after tomorrow’s midterms and the aftermath. Still, within Newsom’s announcement today lies some pretty shiny baubles for an ailing West Coast industry that has seen production crater and over 50,000 jobs directly lost over the past six years.
Backed by influential state Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur, who literally reps Hollywood, the latest plan from Newsom has some long and much desired changes to the way money is handed out to productions in California. If enacted just under a year and a half after CA’s tax credits were raised from $330 million annually to $750 million, Newsom’s revamped billion dollar baby also promises to:
🎬 Expand the tax credit eligibility to above-the-line expenditures and make above the line compensation a qualified expenditure to ensure the creative industry’s leading talent stay here in this state, subject to appropriate funding caps.
🎬 Extend the tax credit sunset from five to 10 years to provide more predictability and support long-term production investment.
🎬 Introduce an incentive for companies that commit to at least two distinct qualifying productions in California by providing a 5% boost in tax credits.
🎬 Increase independent film funding to $100 million annually, up $26 million from the current program, to strengthen California’s independent film sector and support a broader range of productions and creative talent.
Now, coming back to reality, it’s extremely unlikely that lame-duck Newsom would be able to get the increase through the legislature in Sacramento before he leaves office in January 2027.
However, with poll-leading former California attorney general and U.S. health secretary Xavier Becerra poised to replace his old boss as governor, Newsom’s big bucks bet has a pretty good shot at becoming law and cementing his Hollywood legacy.
During the about-to-conclude campaign, both Becerra and GOP gubernatorial rival Steve Hilton, as well to a lesser extent L.A. mayoral candidates Nithya Raman and Karen Bass, have laid out proposals of their own to juice up the state’s film and TV tax credits program. Also, a $10 million, post-production tax credit was signed into law by Newsom in September. Echoing Becerra’s previously released blueprint, it is worth noting that Newsom’s plan today insists on capping the incentives — which is clearly intended on helping Hollywood, but also not busting the state’s current theoretically balanced budget of $352 billion.
Still, not a bad move for the home of Hollywood, that needs a jolt to get back in the ring. Not a bad move at all for an always-camera-ready CA pol like Gavin Newsom with DC ambitions and donor coffers to fill.

Travis Kelce is still down bad for Taylor Swift despite her “weird” habit.
The pop star spoke about her and BFF Abigail Anderson’s penchant for “talk[ing] in ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ voices” during a New York City Q&A session Sunday after a “Toy Story 5” screening.
The Grammy winner admitted she and Anderson, both 36, “still do this” impression and their “husbands have to put up with” it.
Swift went on to give attendees a taste of her imitation of Jon Heder’s character in the 2004 movie.
The topic came up as the “Love Story” hitmaker discussed the joy of “finding someone who’s the same genre as weird and silly as you are,” like Bonnie and Blaze do in “Toy Story 5,” which came out in June.
“When I moved to Nashville when I was 14, you know, you’re the new kid in school and you’re like, ‘Who should I be friends with? These girls are cool, these girls are cool, these are nice girls,’” she recalled. “But there was one girl named Abigail.”
Anderson “just completely [saw Swift] for the strange, little genre that is [she] is at [her] purest,” the songwriter explained.
Swift has maintained her friendship with Anderson for decades and was a bridesmaid in her pal’s 2017 wedding to photographer Matt Lucier.
Anderson went on to wed Charlie Berard, with whom she shares 2-year-old son Bennett, in 2022.
Swift, meanwhile, married Kelce in July after three years together, with Anderson attending in a Sau Lee gown.
Two months after the star-studded nuptials, the Kansas City Chiefs player’s 14th NFL season began — and Swift has reportedly been keeping herself “super busy” amid her “hyper-focused” partner’s busy schedule.
“When she is with Travis, she does everything to support him because he is working so hard on football,” a source told the Daily Mail, claiming the pair regularly work out together and spend quality time with the Kelce family.
“She accepts that Travis has to commit so much time to the Chiefs,” the insider added. “She never complains because football is his passion.”
According to the outlet, Swift has been writing new music and catching up with her A-list pals.
In addition to the singer’s weekend outing for “Toy Story 5,” which features her song “I Knew It, I Knew You,” Swift attended the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala 2026 and the Academy Museum Gala 2026.
