Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughters, Zahara, Vivienne, and Shiloh, recently made headlines by adopting new names, stirring reactions among fans and followers.
Zahara Jolie-Pitt, the eldest, has officially joined Alpha Kappa Alpha at Spelman College in Atlanta, notably dropping the “Pitt” from her name. In a video shared by Essence, Zahara introduced herself with enthusiasm, 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.” This name change sparked mixed reactions, with some expressing disappointment and others questioning the scrutiny aimed at Brad Pitt.
Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, one of Angelina and Brad’s twins born in 2008, has also changed her name. Now listed as “Vivienne Jolie” in the Playbill for the musical “The Outsiders,” she works as a production assistant while her mother serves as the producer. This marks a significant step in her evolving public identity. Vivienne’s involvement in the musical has brought her into the spotlight, with recent public appearances alongside Angelina drawing media attention.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, who turned 18 on May 27, has filed legal documents to drop her father’s surname and use her mother’s surname, wishing to be known simply as “Shiloh Jolie.” TMZ reported that Shiloh filed the paperwork on Memorial Day, coinciding with her birthday. This decision follows a trend within the family, as her sisters, Vivienne and Zahara, have also omitted “Pitt” on separate occasions. These changes come amid court documents suggesting Angelina may have influenced their strained relationship with Brad.
Recent claims against Angelina surfaced through a statement from Tony Webb, owner of SRS Global, a security company that provided personal protection for Angelina. Webb revealed disturbing details, stating that he overheard Angelina encouraging her children to avoid spending time with Brad during custody visits. This revelation sparked a fierce reaction across social media platforms, with many expressing dismay at Angelina and concern over the potential impact on the Jolie-Pitt children.
Despite the public’s critical perception, Angelina Jolie has continually strived to embody the role of a nurturing mother, a commitment deeply rooted in the lessons taught by her own mother, Marcheline Bertrand. In 2011, Angelina shared insights into her parenting approach, emphasizing the importance of being both a parent and a friend to her children. Remembering her mother’s gentle spirit and unwavering generosity, Angelina aspires to be as good a mother to her children as her mother was to her.
