Zahara Jolie-Pitt made a clear stand when she graduated from college.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Angelina Jolie<\/a> and Brad Pitt<\/a>‘s 21-year-old daughter graduated from Spelman College over the weekend, and appeared to take a swipe at her estranged relationship with her dad while doing so.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While taking the stage to accept her diploma, she was announced as “Zahara Marley Jolie” \u2013 noticeably dropping “Pitt” from her name.<\/p>\n

She received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the college, which is based in Atlanta.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s not the first time she’s dropped the name Pitt at a public event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2023, when Zahara<\/a> joined the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, she proudly declared herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie.”<\/p>\n

A video that was shared from the sorority induction ceremony showed her shouting it while shaking her hair and doing some moves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time social media users pointed out that one of her brothers had also dropped the name Pitt years prior.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to US Weekly in 2021, Maddox “doesn’t use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren’t legal and instead uses Jolie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An insider told the outlet, “Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina has said she doesn’t support.”<\/p>\n

Vivienne, their youngest daughter, also appeared to make a similar move in 2024 while working alongside her mum on the Broadway adaption of The Outsiders<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time, her name was listed as “Vivienne Jolie” in the show’s Playbill.<\/p>\n

Shiloh<\/a> also made things official by removing Pitt from her last name on her 18th birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time the teen “hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself,” according to Entertainment Tonight in June 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She adopted Maddox from Cambodia in 2002, followed by Zahara three years later. Brad legally adopted the pair in December 2005.<\/p>\n

In 2007 Angelina adopted Pax from Vietnam when he was three years old, and Brad went on to adopt him a year later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The former couple started dating in 2005, but didn’t tie the knot until 2014.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They welcomed Shiloh in 2006, followed by twins Knox and Vivienne in 2008.<\/p>\n

Since their 2016 divorce, all of the children have reportedly distanced themselves from their father.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last Summer there were reports from US Weekly<\/a> that Brad had a “strained” relationship with his estranged kids, despite “several efforts to reconnect”.<\/p>\n
