Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughters, Zahara, Vivienne, and Shiloh, made headlines recently as it was revealed that they have adopted new names. This decision to change their names garnered significant reactions among fans and followers of the Hollywood star and his family.
Zahara Seemingly Drops Last Name
Zahara Jolie-Pitt, the eldest daughter of Hollywood’s
former power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has embarked on a new chapter
in her life as an official member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha organization at
Spelman College in Atlanta. This has also come with a notable drop of the name
“Pitt.”
In a captivating video shared by Essence, Zahara’s infectious energy and enthusiasm were on full display as she introduced herself during her sorority’s probate.
Dressed in a stylish black midi dress, gloves, and
pearls, she proudly declared, “My name is Zahara Marley Jolie, coming all
the way from the Golden State in the city that is full of angels, Los Angeles,
California. I am this line’s number seven.”
Fans expressed their thoughts regarding the missing
“Pitt” from her name during this significant moment. One commenter expressed
disappointment, noting, “That’s a shame seeing as how life could have been
different for her, and he played a part in changing her life for the better.”
Another fan questioned the scrutiny aimed at Brad, asking, “Why are they giving
Brad such a hard time?”
Another comment urged caution, stating, “I just hope this young lady is making decisions based on her own reality because to reject a parent is a BIG DEAL and should not be influenced by other people’s experiences or recollections.”
As she begins this new chapter in her life, it’s clear that
Zahara’s name choice is eliciting thoughtful reflections on the complexities of
family dynamics after her parents’ divorce.
Vivienne Changes Name Amid Parents’ Legal Feud — Report
Vivienne Jolie-Pitt is one of the twins of Angelina and
Brad. When the twins were born in 2008, Brad was “very pleased to be at the
birth of his children, very moved and very emotional,” said OB/GYN Dr. Michel
Sussman.
Now 15, Vivienne is exploring her artistic side with her
mom’s strong support. According to People, the Playbill for the musical “The
Outsiders” lists her as “Vivienne Jolie,” notably without “Pitt.” This name
change marks a significant step in Vivienne’s evolving public identity.
In the musical, Vivienne Jolie works as a production
assistant, and her mother, Angelina, is the producer. She often joins her mom
during the musical’s promotional tour.
In a recent appearance on “Today,” she was spotted
watching Angelina from the crowd. Reflecting on her daughter’s role in the
musical, Angelina shared that Vivienne’s enthusiasm for the project is driven
by its focus on family.
The veteran actress said, “And the same reason it responded to her, the same reason she wanted me next to her watching it, the same reason we all hugged when I came out here is because this is about family and it’s about community…”
Before the promotional tour, the mother-daughter pair
were spotted attending the musical’s preview in New York City. This rare
outing marked a significant public appearance for Vivienne, her first since
2021, drawing attention from fans and media alike.
Vivienne’s reported name change and recent public
appearances highlight the evolving dynamics of the Jolie-Pitt family,
especially after a third child, Shiloh, chose to follow in the footsteps of
Zahara and Vivienne.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt Turned 18 and Unveiled Her New Moniker
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, who turned 18 on May 27, has filed
legal documents to drop her father Brad’s surname and use her mother,
Angelina’s surname. She now wishes to be known simply as “Shiloh Jolie,” making
this one of her first actions as an adult.
TMZ recently reported that Shiloh filed the paperwork on
Memorial Day, which coincided with her birthday. The request for the name
change has yet to be officially granted, but it is expected to be a matter of
time before it becomes official.
Shiloh’s decision follows a trend within the family, as her sisters, Vivienne and Zahara, have also reportedly omitted “Pitt” on separate occasions. These changes in the children’s names come amid court documents suggesting Angelina may have influenced their strained relationship with Brad.
Recent claims against the actress surfaced through a
statement from Tony Webb, owner of SRS Global, a security company that provided
personal protection for Angelina. Webb, employed under Jolie from 2000 to 2020,
shared insights from his experience.
“One of the two individuals, Ross Foster, specified that
he intended to testify regardless of the NDA if he received a court subpoena,”
Webb stated. He further revealed disturbing details about the potential
testimony.
“When Mr. Foster told me this, he also told me that if
asked, he would testify about statements he overheard that Ms. Jolie made to
the children, encouraging them to avoid spending time with Mr. Pitt during
custody visits,” he claimed.
This revelation sparked a fierce reaction across social
media platforms, with many expressing dismay at Angelina. Others showed concern
over the potential impact on the Jolie-Pitt children.
“The fact that she cannot see the harm this
is doing to their kids is just shocking,” one person commented. This was echoed
by another commenter who noted, “It’s probably why Shiloh is moving in with her
father now… She’s realized her mother is vindictive and has been trying to
alienate them from Brad for years.”
One called Angelina’s alleged move “the worse possible
thing a person can do… alienate their children from a parent.” Meanwhile,
another declared “Shame on her.”
The debate over Angelina’s actions led some to reflect on
the cyclical nature of such behavior, attributing it to her tumultuous
upbringing. “Her childhood was similar from what I read. Maybe she can’t
break that perpetual cycle or doesn’t want to,” one claimed.
Besides Vivienne, Shiloh, and Zahara, Angelina is a mother to Knox, Pax, and Maddox. She shares all of them with Brad and despite the public’s critical perception, Angelina Jolie has continually strived to embody the role of a nurturing, attentive mother. This is, a commitment deeply rooted in the lessons taught by her own mom, Marcheline Bertrand.
In a candid revelation made back in 2011, Angelina shared
insights into her parenting approach, which is heavily influenced by the
relationship she cherished with her mother. Angelina emphasized the importance
of not just being a parent but also a friend to her children.
She highlighted the invaluable connection she experienced
through open communication and shared activities with her mother. This
foundation has guided her in fostering a similar bond with her children,
ensuring that despite their diverse backgrounds, they feel united as a family.
Remembering her mother’s gentle spirit and unwavering
generosity, Angelina aspires to emulate these traits. Her aim is clear: to be
as good a mother to her children as her mother was to her.
