Brad Pitt’s daughter Zahara, 21, and son Maddox, 24, are seeking to remove Pitt from their legal names, according to court documents filed in California. They cited personal reasons for requesting the change.
Background
This development comes after the high-profile breakdown of Pitt’s marriage to Angelina Jolie. The former couple has been locked in disputes since they split a decade ago and finally settled their divorce at the end of 2024.
In paperwork submitted to the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles, Zahara applied to change her name from Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Marley Jolie. Her brother Maddox also asked the court for permission to remove Pitt from his double-barreled family name.
The siblings placed ads in the Los Angeles Daily Journal once a week for four consecutive weeks in June and July, giving anyone who objects to the possible change a chance to register their objection.
