Zahara, Shiloh, & Vivienne Stop Using Brad Pitt's Last Name
Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and Vivienne, 15, have all opted to use Jolie as their last name, switching over from using Pitt, as the legal battle between their parents rages on. According to a recent legal filing, Shiloh's official last name is Jolie. It remains unclear if Vivienne and Zahara legally changed their last name, but it's definitely a possibility.
According to sources speaking to Ok! magazine, Zahara introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie at a sorority event at Spelman college, where she is a freshman. And Vivienne listed her name as Vivienne Jolie in the playbill for the Broadway show she worked on with her mom, The Outsiders.
Brad Pitt Blames Angelina Jolie For Kids 'Distancing' Themselves
These recent revelations are apparently "heartbreaking" for Brad. "The implication is that they want nothing to do with Brad," a source told the publication. It "basically confirmed Brad's biggest fear: that Angelina sabotaged his kids' relationship with him."
A separate source corroborated this sentiment: "He's deeply hurt and is also troubled that Vivienne and Zahara stopped using his name," the source explained. "It's clear Angelina is twisting the knife."
While Pitt continues to blame Jolie for the poor relationship he has with his kids, his kids continuously prove that it's because of him, not because of their mother. In an Instagram post from Pax, now 20, back on Father's Day in 2020, he called Pitt a "world-class a**hole!" and wrote, "You time and time again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person." Perhaps it's time to take some accountability, Brad?
