Angelina Jolie & Brad Pit’s Adult Children Zahara & Maddox Take Out Newspaper Ads To Officially Drop ‘Pitt’ From Last Name
Zahara and Maddox Jolie-Pitt have taken a formal step toward legally shedding their father #BradPitt’s surname, each publishing a legal notice in the Los Angeles Daily Journal as required under California law for a name change. According to court records reviewed by Page Six, 21-year-old Zahara’s notice appeared weekly from June 16 through July 7, while 24-year-old Maddox’s ran on a similar schedule between June 10 and July 1. The public notices give anyone who wants to contest the change a chance to file a written objection before a judge weighs in.
Zahara’s case is now set for a September 28 hearing, where a judge could grant her request to be renamed simply #ZaharaJolie — assuming no objections surface. The move builds on steps she’d already taken informally. As reported, she skipped her father’s name entirely at her May graduation from #SpelmanCollege, walking the stage as Zahara Marley Jolie.

Legal name changes have more steps than I realized, especially when public notices or newspaper announcements are part of the process. I helped a friend research a surname change after marriage, and we spent an afternoon checking court requirements and local publication procedures. At one point, we even looked for the bismarck tribune phone number while figuring out how newspaper legal notices are submitted and what information they require. It made me appreciate how formal something as personal as a name can become. For adults choosing a different surname, completing every required step properly must make the final change feel especially meaningful.
