Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's second-eldest daughter, Shiloh Jolie, has reportedly been successful in legally removing Pitt from her last name.
The 18-year-old's name change petition was granted on Monday by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge, according to an order obtained by People, TMZ and Page Six.
USA TODAY has reached out to Pitt's attorney.
Jolie, born Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, filed the petition to use only her mother's maiden name on May 27, her 18th birthday, according to a filing obtained by USA TODAY. As legally required in California, Jolie posted weekly public notices of her effort to change her name to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie in a newspaper prior to her scheduled hearing.
Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 49, share six children: 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 pair seemingly have yet to finalize it. People reported in May that Vivienne also dropped "Pitt" in the Playbill credit for the buzzy new Broadway musical "The Outsiders," which Jolie produced.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt legal filings follow Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt lawsuit battles
Jolie's name change follows a yearslong legal battle between her parents.
Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been engaged in an ongoing legal battle over the finances of their winery, Château Miraval. In a filing last month, Pitt's lawyers asked a judge to dismiss Jolie’s request for his private communications and include those related to a family trip in 2016 in which Pitt allegedly attacked Jolie and their children while aboard a private jet.
“These private, third-party communications are far removed from the issues and allegations in this case,” the filing, obtained by USA TODAY, reads. “Jolie, however, wants them anyway as part of her efforts to turn this business dispute into a re-litigation of the former couple’s divorce case.”
Pitt's filing was in response to an April motion Jolie's lawyers filed seeking communications from Pitt and his company Mondo Bongo related to a nondisclosure agreement Jolie's team says Pitt asked her to sign as a condition of buying her winery shares.
Jolie's filing also alleged Pitt had a history of abusing Jolie during their relationship.
"While Pitt's history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well. Jolie then immediately left him," the court document read.
In their July filing, Pitt’s attorneys allege he “voluntarily offered to produce documents sufficient to show everything that occurred on the flight that precipitated the ex-couple’s divorce.”
In September 2016, reports emerged of Pitt being under investigation 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 dropped its investigation, and the actor was not charged. He was also cleared of child abuse allegations by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.
If you are a victim of domestic violence, The National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) allows you to speak confidentially with trained advocates online or over the phone, which they recommend for those who think their online activity is being monitored by their abuser (800-799-7233). They can help survivors develop a plan to achieve safety for themselves and their children.
