Zahara, the daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, drew attention again after appearing publicly using only her mother’s surname during her graduation ceremony at Spelman College in the United States.
At the ceremony, the 21-year-old was announced as “Zahara Marley Jolie”, leaving out the surname “Pitt”, which had been part of her legal name since childhood.
The change is not an isolated case within the family. Other children of the former couple have also publicly adopted their mother’s surname or removed “Pitt” from their identities in different contexts.
Shiloh, for example, had already filed a legal request to remove her father’s surname after turning 18, while Maddox and Vivienne have also been credited only as “Jolie” in recent projects.
Zahara’s gesture was interpreted by the international press as another sign of distance between Brad Pitt and some of his children, amid family tensions that intensified after Pitt and Jolie’s divorce in 2016.
