Zahara Jolie files to legally drop Pitt surname
Zahara Jolie name change draws attention to the Pitt family split and court filing details, plus the latest on Angelina and Brad Pitt’s feud
Zahara Jolie, 21, has filed court documents to legally remove Brad Pitt’s surname from her name, according to reports from CBC News.
The filing comes shortly after her brother Maddox also sought a name change, and after her sister Shiloh previously dropped Pitt from her name in 2024. Zahara had already been using Jolie informally for some time.
The move has renewed attention on the longrunning family tensions between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt following their split in 2016. The former couple reached a divorce settlement in 2024 after years of legal disputes, and Pitt has not been publicly seen with the children for years.
