In the family feud between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the couple’s daughter Zahara has now become the latest child to take formal steps to drop the “Pitt” surname.According to the latest report, the 21-year-old has now filed legal documents to officially change her name from Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Marley Jolie, TMZ reports. According to court records obtained by Insider, Zahara submitted the paperwork on April 28, but has not specified the reason for the requested name change. However, he is expected to appear in court on September 28 to explain the reason for the request.Although Zahara is now legally changing her name, she has been publicly using the surname ‘Jolie’ for quite some time. Not only did she make waves online when she joined a sorority at Spelman College as “Zahara Marley Jolie,” she dropped the ‘Pitt’ from her name while receiving her college degree last month. In videos of the event, the Psychology major accepted her title as ‘Zahara Marley Jolie’ to loud cheers from her classmates.The move is also fueled by reports that Zahara has not maintained a close relationship with her father in recent years. Other reports have suggested that Pitt believes his ex-wife, Angelina, has played a role in limiting contact with their children.Pitt and Jolie share six children together. Of the six, Shiloh Jolie was the first to take the legal route of removing ‘Pitt’ from her surname. His siblings, including Vivienne and Maddox, are said to no longer use “Pitt” as part of their last name, while the status of Pax and Knox is unclear.
