Zahara Jolie Drops Pitt Surname: Another Child Splits from Brad
10 Jun
Summary
- Zahara Jolie filed to officially drop the surname Pitt on June 4, 2026.
- A resurfaced video from November 2023 shows Zahara introducing herself without Pitt.
- Brad Pitt is reportedly deeply hurt and devastated by his children's actions.
Zahara Jolie officially filed on June 4, 2026, to change her name from Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Jolie. The court is scheduled to rule on this motion on September 28, 2026. This legal action follows reports suggesting Zahara began distancing herself from the Pitt surname approximately three years ago.
A video from her November 2023 induction into a sorority at Spelman College surfaced, where she introduced herself without mentioning her father's surname. This event, occurring shortly after she turned 18, suggests an early inclination to separate from the Pitt name.
Brad Pitt is reportedly "deeply hurt" and "devastated" by his children's decisions to drop his surname, according to sources. He fears being permanently estranged from his kids, though he has not publicly commented on the matter.
The finalization of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's custody arrangement is imminent, as their twins turn 18 on June 12, 2026. Following this, Jolie may sell her Los Feliz mansion and relocate, having lived there primarily due to the custody arrangements.
