The past month has been full of interesting developments in Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s decade-long disaster. While they’re finally legally divorced, Brad’s lawsuit and Angelina’s countersuit — all over Chateau Miraval — continue to move toward trial. Angelina’s children were not only victims of Brad and witness what he did to Angelina on that plane in 2016, they have also witnessed what Brad has done to her since then. And it seems ALL of these kids want nothing to do with Brad or his name. Brad didn’t even go to Knox’s high school graduation last weekendand we’ve learned this past week that both Maddox and Zahara have filed to legally change their names and drop the “Pitt.” In Touch Weekly exclusively reported Zahara’s name change applicationbut other outlets are now confirming the news. Brad’s team has also included a quote in all the new reports.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Zahara has officially applied to have “Pitt” removed from her last name. In documents obtained by PEOPLE on Tuesday, June 9, the 21-year-old filed for a name change in the Superior Court of California. In Touch was the first to report the news.
PEOPLE reached out to reps for Jolie and Pitt.
Zahara’s application dates back to April 28 and came just days after her brother, 24-year-old Maddox Jolie, also applied to legally remove his father’s surname following their parents’ split in 2016 after two years of marriage and more than 10 years as a couple. Their divorce was finalized in December 2024. Jolie, 51, and Pitt, 62, share six children together: Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 20, and twins Knox and Vivienne, both 17.
The Spelman graduate is now the former couple’s third child to request to legally drop the “Pitt” from their last name after Maddox and Shiloh.
“It’s sad to see someone repeatedly publicize their successful alienation of their children from the other parent,” says a source close to Pitt.
(From humans)
Poor, pitiful huffy Brad. And he’s also dumb as a bag of hair – this is not Angelina “repeatedly posting” something. In 2024, Shiloh went out and hired a lawyer on her 18th birthday to change her name. Zahara and Maddox simply did the same, went out and hired lawyers and filed the documents. Name change applications are public records, that’s how TMZ and In Touch Weekly and everyone else got these stories. Speaking of publicity, TMZ and Us Weekly got equally nasty quotes from Brad’s team, like this one in us: “It is unfortunate when one parent deliberately removes their children from the other.” I don’t know, I think it’s more unfortunate when a deadbeat father won’t even attend his children’s graduations or congratulate them on their scholastic achievements.
