Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Zahara has officially dropped her famous father’s last name
On Monday, a Los Angeles judge granted the 21-year-old’s petition to legally change her name from Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Marley Jolie, according to court documents obtained by Page Six.
“There being no objections, the petition for change of name is granted,” the Sept. 28 minute order states
“The Decree is signed and filed,” the order continues. “The Petitioner’s name is changed from Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Marley Jolie.”
Zahara’s attorney, Peter Kenneth Levine, appeared remotely for Monday morning’s hearing, according to the filing.
Judge Virginia Keeny presided over the hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court’s Stanley Mosk Courthouse.
Following the name change, a source close to Pitt exclusively told Page Six, “This is the latest installment in what complete and total alienation looks like with an extra topping of trying to deflect attention from their ex’s success. Anyone who has actually been a part of this for the last ten years would know that there’s only one side that talks about and has tried to weaponize the kids.”
A second source close to the “Maleficent” star exclusively said in response, “Today’s hearing was required by law and scheduled months ago by the L.A. court system. It’s a new low to have his camp to spin a conspiracy theory, disavow responsibility for his conduct, and attack his own child. Keep in mind, his daughter has had the grace not to discuss the details of his behavior in public.”
The ruling comes more than two months after Page Six reported that Zahara and her brother Maddox had taken out newspaper advertisements announcing their respective petitions to legally drop “Pitt” from their surnames.
