Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt\u2019s 21-year-old daughter Zahara appeared to send a very clear message to her father at her graduation ceremony over the weekend.<\/p>\n
Zahara, who was adopted by Jolie in 2005 and later legally adopted by Pitt, received her bachelor\u2019s degree in psychology. While walking on stage to accept her diploma at the Atlanta-based college, Zahara was announced as Zahara Marley Jolie, with \u201cPitt\u201d being excluded from her last name.<\/p>\n
This is not the first time that Zahara, who is currently estranged from her 62-year-old father, has made the decision to drop her father\u2019s name.<\/p>\n
In 2023, Zahara joined the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College. The then-18-year-old announced herself to her new sorority sisters without using Pitt\u2019s name.<\/p>\n
