All Three of Brad Pitt’s Daughters, Zahara, Vivienne, & Shiloh, Have Changed Their Names

Recently, the daughters of Hollywood icons Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie – Zahara, Vivienne, and Shiloh – have become the talk of the town due to their decision to adopt new names. This choice has sparked a wide range of reactions from their family’s ardent followers and admirers.

Zahara Jolie-Pitt, the oldest offspring of the once most influential Hollywood duo Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has started a fresh journey as a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College in Atlanta. This new phase in her life interestingly coincides with her dropping the surname “Pitt.”

A video shared by Essence captured Zahara’s vibrant personality and zest while introducing herself during her sorority’s probate.

Adorned in an elegant black midi dress, gloves, and pearls, she confidently announced, “My name is Zahara Marley Jolie, hailing from the Golden State, the city of angels, Los Angeles, California. I am number seven in this line.”

This significant occasion prompted fans to share their thoughts about the absence of “Pitt” from her name. One fan expressed disappointment, remarking, “It’s unfortunate considering how her life might have been different, and he played a role in bettering it.” Another fan questioned the criticism directed at Brad, asking, “Why is Brad being given such a hard time?”

Yet another plea for consideration was made, stating, “I hope this young woman is making decisions based on her own truths because renouncing a parent is a substantial matter and should not be influenced by others’ experiences or memories.”

As Zahara steps into this new chapter, her choice of name has sparked thoughtful discussions about the intricate nature of family dynamics post her parents’ divorce.

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, one of Angelina and Brad’s twins, changed her name amidst her parents’ legal dispute. At the time of the twins’ birth in 2008, Brad was “deeply touched and emotional,” according to OB/GYN Dr. Michel Sussman.

At 15, Vivienne is now cultivating her artistic talents under the robust support of her mother. People magazine reports that the Playbill for the musical “The Outsiders” identifies her as “Vivienne Jolie,” conspicuously omitting “Pitt.” This name change signifies an important shift in Vivienne’s public persona.

In the musical, Vivienne Jolie serves as a production assistant, with her mother, Angelina, as the producer. Vivienne frequently accompanies her mother on the musical’s promotional tour.

During a recent appearance on “Today,” she was seen observing Angelina from among the audience. Reflecting on her daughter’s involvement in the musical, Angelina revealed that Vivienne’s passion for the project stems from its emphasis on family.

The seasoned actress stated, “The same reason it resonated with her, the same reason she wanted me by her side watching it, the same reason we all embraced when I appeared here is because this is about family and it’s about community…”

Prior to the promotional tour, the mother-daughter duo was spotted at the musical’s preview in New York City. This uncommon public outing marked a notable public appearance for Vivienne, her first since 2021, attracting 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.
