Another kid of Brad Pitt<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Angelina Jolie<\/a> is getting closer to closing the book on the family name … Zahara<\/a> has taken the next legal step to become Zahara Jolie.<\/p>\n Court documents, obtained by TMZ, show Zahara has completed one of California’s required hurdles for a legal name change by publishing notice of her petition in the Los Angeles Daily Journal once a week for four consecutive weeks and calling for anyone opposing the change to submit a written opposition before the final hearing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n As TMZ previously reported, the 21-year-old filed her petition<\/a> in June asking to legally change her name from Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Marley Jolie. The filing states the notice ran on June 16, June 23, June 30, and July 7 … and next up is Zahara’s September 28 hearing, where a judge can approve the request if no one objects.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A source close to Brad tells TMZ … they believe Angelina has caused the rift between Brad and the children … and this is just the latest chapter in the very sad and never-ending campaign to alienate children from their father.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Zahara hasn’t been using Brad’s last name for a while now … but the move follows a path already taken by sister Shiloh<\/a>, who published a similar legal notice before officially dropping “Pitt” from her name in 2024.<\/p>\n And she’s far from the only one distancing herself from the family name. Maddox<\/a> and Vivienne<\/a> have also stopped publicly using “Pitt” in recent years … making Zahara the latest of Brad’s children to move away from the surname.<\/p>\n If the judge signs off, Zahara will officially become Zahara Marley Jolie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brad Pitt’s Daughter Zahara Takes Out Newspaper Ad to Officially Drop ‘Pitt’ Published July 13, 2026 7:40 AM…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":799535,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,8469,90815,90816,90817],"class_list":["post-799534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-nicole-kidman","tag-nicole-kidman-gossip","tag-nicole-kidman-news","tag-nicole-mary-kidman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=799534"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799534\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/799535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=799534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=799534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=799534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"jolie](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/139dc73fb83646f5bd6de522b4925699_md.jpg\")
