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.

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.

“Homestead” star Bailey Chase is opening up about the “final straw” that drove him and his family out of California for a new life in North Carolina.
During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 54-year-old actor, who shares daughter Waverly, 12, and 10-year-old twins Maggie and Gauge with his wife Amy, explained that concerns over how California’s COVID-19 restrictions would impact his children led him to leave the Golden State behind.
“That happened five years ago in the throes of COVID,” Chase said. “My wife and I picked up sticks with our three young children when they were mandating vaccines out there.”
“They said they couldn’t go back to school without it,” Chase, who stars as former Green Beret Jeff Eriksson in “Homestead,” continued. “And that was the final straw. And we’ve been in the mountains of North Carolina ever since living our best life.”

Five years after trading Los Angeles for North Carolina, Chase told Fox News Digital that his life now largely revolves around his children’s activities when he isn’t working.

“I’m like soccer dad right now. It’s soccer season, so we’re going here and there,” he said. “My oldest is really into ballet, and I couldn’t be more proud of her and getting ready for ‘The Nutcracker’ in December, and basketball season’s around the corner.”
While Chase remains committed to his acting career, the “Longmire” alum said his priorities shift completely when he returns home.

“I love my job, and when I’m off filming, I’m 100% focused on that. But when I’m home, I’m home,” he said. “There’s no greater job than being a dad.”
Chase and his family currently live in Amy’s hometown of Hendersonville in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, about 25 miles south of Asheville. Chase has previously explained that Amy had long envisioned eventually returning to the area where she was born and raised. The actor also has ties to North Carolina after attending Duke University in Durham on a football scholarship.

“Amy, being from the mountains of North Carolina, always had it in the back of her mind that she’d go back home one day,” he said in a January 2026 interview with Duke Alumni Magazine. “We didn’t know how or when.”
However, Chase recalled they decided the time was right due to California’s handling of the pandemic.

“Things started to not work in LA during COVID – they shut down the schools, there were no sports for the kids,” he said. “Really, no life, no work. And it became more and more obvious that we should leave LA.”
“Amy’s very close with her parents, who are in N.C.,” he continued. “Everything’s about seven minutes away: school, the in-laws, the grocery store, golf course, soccer field. It’s a great location. We live in a house that would not have been affordable in LA.”

“It’s a kid’s dream,” he added. “There’s a sports court and a pool. We have two golden retriever puppies, so it’s a full and lively house.”
During a February appearance on the “Undaunted.Life: A Man’s Podcast,” Chase elaborated on the concerns that he had over California’s proposed vaccine mandate for his young children’s return to school.
“At that time, you know, they’re 4, 4 and 6 years old,” he recalled. “I got two young girls and, you know we don’t need to go down that rabbit hole.”
“I was like, ‘No, I just don’t know enough,'” he continued. “And I got one job right now, and it’s to take care of these little nuggets. That’s the most important job I have right now.”
In October 2021, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced plans for a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for students that he said would eventually apply to all the state’s 6.7 million public and private schoolchildren.
However, the mandate was repeatedly delayed and ultimately never took effect. In February 2023, state health officials announced that they would not pursue or implement the requirement as the COVID-19 state of emergency expired at the end of that month.
‘ANT-MAN’ STAR EVANGELINE LILLY SAYS SHE LEFT HOLLYWOOD BECAUSE SHE ‘ALWAYS HATED BEING FAMOUS’
Chase previously acknowledged that while relocating to North Carolina was the best move for his family, leaving LA came at a professional cost after he spent 21 years building his career in Hollywood.
“I’ve lost out on some work by not being in L.A.,” he admitted while appearing on the “Living Local” podcast in August.
“There was a big role on ‘Grey’s Anatomy,'” he continued. “And I understand, it’s a lot cheaper for them. They just move on to the next guy and cast someone who’s local to L.A.”
“But what has happened is I’ve gotten new opportunities and different kind of jobs and some faith-based films and shows,” Chase added.
The “Saving Grace” actor has also spoken openly about how he “lost touch” with God during his years in LA and shared that moving to North Carolina eventually led him back to his Christian faith.
“Moving back here, I’ve gotten reconnected to my faith,” Chase told “Crosswalk” in January. “Just started going to church recently. It took a few years, but I really like the church where we’re going to here.”
“My cousin started taking us,” he continued. “The girls are in youth group. They really love it.”
“It’s nice to be in an environment where I can openly talk about God and Jesus and without fear of criticism,” he added.

In a 2024 Instagram post, Chase reflected on how his priorities have shifted since leaving behind “all that worry, all that stress, 20 years of hustle in LA.”
“It also got me thinking if I spent as much time chasing God as I’ve spent chasing success the last 25 years, what would that look like?” he wrote.
Chase is currently starring as former Green Beret Jeff Eriksson in the faith-based streaming platform Angel Studios’ post-apocalyptic drama “Homestead,” which will premiere its second season on Nov. 3.
The series follows survivors living at a fortified prepper compound in the Rocky Mountains known as The Homestead after a nuclear attack on LA plunges the country into chaos. After the bomb is detonated, Jeff escapes with his family to The Homestead, where he serves as head of security.
The actor starred in the 2024 theatrical movie “Homestead,” which introduces the story and the TV series picks up directly afterward. The cast also includes Neal McDonough, Kevin Lawson Emmanuel McCord, Jesse Hutch, Betzaida Landín, Charles Esten and Dawn Olivieri.

Chase told Fox News Digital that starring in the “Homestead” movie and follow-up TV show had inspired the cast to start prepping for a potential apocalypse.
“‘Homestead’ has changed all of our lives and the first thing I did when I came home after the film was arm my home more,” he said. “And then right before season two, Hurricane Helene hit here in the mountains of North Carolina. And I now have a brand-new generator and some other things.”
When asked if most Americans would be able to survive a major disaster, Chase predicted that it would be more challenging for people who live in bigger cities.

“Those are the kind of people who hunt and fish and can go out and find their own game,” Chase added. “So if I’m laying odds, I’m betting on those guys.”
While reflecting on what drew him to “Homestead,” Chase explained that his focus on faith and family has also influenced the projects he chooses, noting that the show offers a different message than much of what is coming out of Hollywood.
“I take my job as being a father as the best job and most important job that I’ll ever have. And I do take it seriously,” Chase told Fox News Digital.
“And how that translates to me being an actor, that’s why I’m so proud of ‘Homestead’ and the story that we get to tell, because it reflects my own personal values,” he continued. “We got men and women and boys and girls, and it’s about promoting faith, family, community and being there for your brother.”
“Not all the shows that Hollywood’s putting out does that, so I feel truly blessed to be part of a show that delivers a message that I believe in so deeply to my core.”
“Homestead: The Series” season two premieres Nov. 3 on Angel with new episodes released weekly on Tuesdays.
