The daughters of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Zahara, Vivienne and Shiloh, recently made headlines when it became known that they had taken on new names. This decision to change their names caused a strong reaction among fans of the Hollywood star and his family.
Zahara seems to be giving up her last name
Zahara Jolie-Pitt, the eldest daughter of former Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has entered a new chapter in her life as an official member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha organization at Spelman College in Atlanta.. This was also accompanied by a noticeable shortening of the name “Pitt”.
In a fascinating video posted by Essence, Zahara’s infectious energy and enthusiasm were fully manifested when she introduced herself during the reading of her sorority’s will.
Dressed in a stylish black midi dress, gloves and pearls, she proudly declared: “My name is Zahara Marley Jolie, I came from the Golden State to a city full of angels, Los Angeles, California. I am the seventh in this line.”
Fans shared their thoughts about the absence of “Pitt” in her name at this momentous moment. One of the commentators expressed disappointment, noting: “It’s a shame, considering that her life could have turned out differently, and he played a role in changing her life for the better.” Another fan questioned the close attention to Brad, asking: “Why are they bullying Brad like that?”
Another comment called for caution: “I just hope that this young lady makes decisions based on her own reality, because abandoning a parent is a SERIOUS event and should not be influenced by other people’s experiences or memories.”
As Zahara begins this new chapter in her life, it becomes clear that choosing a name makes her think about the complexities of family life after her parents’ divorce.
Vivien changes her name amid parents’ court case — Report
Vivienne Jolie-Pitt is one of Angelina and Brad’s twins. When the twins were born in 2008, Brad was “very happy to be present at the birth of his children, very touched and very emotional,” said obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Michelle Sussman.
Vivien is now 15 years old, and she is actively developing her creative abilities with the support of her mother. According to People, in the playbill of the musical “Outsiders” she is listed as “Vivien Jolie”, but without “Pitt”. The name change marks an important step in the development of Vivien’s public identity.
Vivien Jolie works as an assistant director in the musical, and her mother Angelina is a producer. She often joins her mom during the musical’s promotional tour.
During a recent appearance on the Today program, she was spotted watching Angelina from the crowd. Reflecting on her daughter’s role in the musical, Angelina shared that Vivien’s enthusiasm for the project is due to its focus on family.
The veteran actress said, “And for the same reason that it resonated with her, for the same reason that she wanted me to be there to watch it, for the same reason that we all hugged when I came here, it’s because it’s it concerns the family and society…”
Before the start of the promotional tour, the mother and daughter couple were spotted at a preview of the musical in New York. This rare appearance of Vivien in public, the first since 2021, attracted the attention of both fans and the media.
The announcement of Vivienne’s name change and recent public appearances highlight the dynamics of the Jolie-Pitt family, especially after the third child, Shiloh, decided to follow in the footsteps of Zahara and Vivienne.
