Zahara Jolie Legally Removes 'Pitt' Surname, Following Siblings' Name Changes
Zahara Jolie, daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has legally dropped her father's surname, becoming the third of their six children to do so. A California judge approved the change on September 28, 2024, after Zahara filed a petition earlier that year. Siblings Shiloh and Maddox have also removed 'Pitt' from their names, while Vivienne has filed a similar petition currently pending. The name changes follow reports of estrangement between Brad Pitt and his children.
