Zahara Jolie’s College Graduation
Zahara Jolie, the daughter of actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Spelman College. At the graduation ceremony, she was introduced using her mother’s last name. Now 21 years old, she completed her studies, and her mother, Angelina Jolie, attended the celebration. Officially named Zahara Marley Jolie, she had already stopped using her father’s surname during her sophomore year.
Zahara Jolie is the third child in the family to reject Brad Pitt’s last name. Other siblings have made similar choices:
- Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt, born on July 12, 2008, now goes solely by her mother’s surname.
- Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 24, also dropped his father’s surname and changed it to his mother’s in February 2024. He worked as an assistant to director Alice Winocour on the film 'Couture,' where he was credited as Maddox Jolie.
In 2020, Maddox reportedly used profanity toward his father. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have six children together: Maddox (24), Pax (22), Zahara (21), Shiloh (19), and twins Knox and Vivienne (17). A well-known source commented:
“Unfortunately, Brad doesn’t have a close relationship with his children. He’s not ready to give up on them, but it’s painful to know they’re discarding his name.” - A well-known source
Angelina Jolie’s Professional Achievements
Angelina Jolie also starred in the film 'Couture,' set in Paris. She learned French for her role in the movie. In Ukraine, the film was released on March 5, 2026.
Zahara Jolie’s college graduation marks a significant milestone in her life, especially given her decision to drop her father’s surname—a move that reflects her push for independence. This step also highlights shifting family dynamics, as multiple children have chosen to distance themselves from the Pitt name. It suggests strained relationships within the family, particularly between Brad Pitt and his children, which could have lasting implications for their future connections.
