Summary

  • Los Angeles Superior Court documents filed June 9 show Zahara, 21, asking to legally change her name from Zahara Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Marley Jolie.
  • The filing gave no reason, but Zahara has publicly used Jolie for years, including when she joined Alpha Kappa Alpha at Spelman College in 2023 and at her college graduation.
  • Brad Pitt, 62, reportedly did not attend that graduation, and Zahara has been reported estranged from him for years.
  • The move follows similar steps by siblings: Shiloh filed in 2024 to remove Pitt, while Vivienne and Maddox have also used Jolie without Pitt.
