Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Zahara is reportedly not on speaking terms with her father. As of March 23, 2025, the estrangement between Zahara and Brad became apparent when she dropped his surname during her induction into the Mu Pi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority back in November 2023. During the ceremony, she introduced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie,” signaling a clear desire to distance herself from her father's name.
Despite the growing estrangement, it has been reported that Brad Pitt continues to hold strong feelings for his daughter. An insider revealed to In Touch, “Zahara has totally shut Brad out. But that hasn’t stopped him loving her and wanting the very best for her.” This showcases the complicated dynamic between the father and daughter, as it appears he remains proud of her and her accomplishments.
Another source emphasized that, “he’s still massively proud of the young woman she’s become,” indicating that while their relationship is strained, the love is still there. Communication may be lacking, but Brad's admiration for Zahara's growth into an independent young adult does not seem to falter.
In the midst of these personal developments, Brad Pitt is also invested in his current relationship with actress Ines, with reports stating he is “100% committed to Ines.” The couple has been together for three years and is reportedly planning to expand their family, with sources indicating he might be looking forward to having baby number seven.
This upcoming addition would be a significant life change for Pitt, who, alongside Jolie, shares six children and has often been open about his desire for a large family. With Zahara's distancing from him, it remains to be seen how this newfound responsibility will be managed alongside the complexities of their relationship.
Zahara’s decision to introduce herself without her father's surname adds another layer to the narrative surrounding the former couple. Their relationship, long scrutinized by the media, now faces a new chapter, one where Zahara appears to be asserting her own identity independent of her father.
For now, Brad Pitt waits with hope, hoping to mend the rift with Zahara while navigating his life with Ines and the plans for an expanding family. Only time will tell how these dynamics evolve, especially with the high-profile nature of their family.
The story continues to unravel, as fans and observers remain invested in the lives of the former couple and their children.
