The spotlight has once again turned to Angelina Jolie’s family dynamics as her 18-year-old daughter, Zahara, embarks on her college journey, sparking speculation about her relationship with adoptive father Brad Pitt. Zahara, who recently started college at Spelman College, has reportedly chosen to go by Zahara Marley Jolie instead of retaining the Jolie-Pitt last name.
Zahara’s decision to register solely under her mother’s last name, Jolie, has added fuel to rumors of potential distancing from Brad Pitt. The speculation intensified when she joined the sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha, introducing herself in an induction video as “Zahara Marley Jolie” without referencing the Jolie-Pitt surname.
Adopted by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at the age of six months from an Ethiopian orphanage in 2005, Zahara is part of a larger family that includes siblings Maddox (22), Pax (20), Shiloh (17), and twins Knox and Vivienne (15). The family has been in the public eye due to the ongoing divorce battle between Jolie and Pitt.
The high-profile divorce appears to be impacting the family dynamics, with Zahara’s choice to use only her mother’s last name raising questions about her relationship with Brad Pitt. The decision, made during her transition to college, adds a layer of complexity to the evolving narrative of the Jolie-Pitt family.
Amidst these developments, Angelina Jolie’s brother, James Haven, has expressed concern for his nieces and nephews, acknowledging the challenges they face during these “massively formative years” amidst the divorce battle. Haven emphasized his commitment to being present for his family during this crucial time.
As Zahara Jolie steps into college life with a distinctive choice in her last name, the public remains intrigued by the intricate dynamics within the Jolie-Pitt family. The evolving narrative sheds light on the impact of a high-profile divorce on family relationships and raises questions about the nature of Zahara’s ties with her adoptive father, Brad Pitt, as she navigates this new chapter in her life.
