Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt's child Zahara files to drop father's name

The filing follows a family split that has led four of the couple’s six children to drop or seek to drop Pitt from their names, sources said.

  • Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt has officially filed to legally drop 'Pitt' from her last name following her May graduation from Spelman College in Atlanta. Brad Pitt is reportedly 'fuming' after allegedly being left in the dark about the ceremony.
  • The name change follows the couple's finalized December 30, 2024, divorce, which ended an eight-year custody battle. Several of their six children have either informally stopped using or are seeking to legally remove Pitt's surname.
  • Zahara previously omitted the surname when joining the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority in 2023. Her siblings Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Maddox have also initiated legal petitions to remove 'Pitt' from their names.
  • Sources close to the actor accuse Angelina Jolie of shutting him out and turning their children against him, alleging he was not even told when the graduation would take place. Representatives for Jolie have not publicly responded to claims.
  • Despite the 'toxic blame game,' insiders insist Pitt has not 'lost all hope' of rebuilding relationships with his children. As they are now adults, the children are legally making their own personal decisions.
