Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Zahara enjoyed a dance with her sorority sisters in a new TikTok clip that showed a rare glimpse of her college life. Zahara, 19, is attending Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, and was seen showing off her dance moves with her Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority sisters. The clip, posted to TikTok by ajahh.mariah, captured the young ladies doing fun choreography while grooving to the track 'Back Outside' by Anycia and Latto during the school's Welcome Back Jam.The group wore different shades of green, with Zahara sporting an olive green tank top, jean shorts and sneakers. Zahara made waves when she joined the AKA organization — the first historically Black sorority — last year and appeared to drop her famous father's last name.A number of thrilled fans commented on the clip, with one writing, 'The excitement that I felt when I see Zahara !!!!!! go ahead and live your best college life girllllll yasssss!' 'Zahara is having the time of her life,' another added. 'I swearrr I’m loving this for Zahara.' At the time when she joined the sorority, Zahara introduced herself as 'Zahara Marley Jolie' in a video shared by Essence, leaving her father's last name Pitt out. She told the crowd: 'My name is Zahara Marley Jolie. And [I] landed all the way from the Golden State in the city full of angels: Los Angeles, California.' Angelina, 49, also supported her daughter as she was inducted into the AKA sorority last year, attending a luncheon hosted the The Whitley Hotel in Atlanta. Zahara's father Brad, 60, didn't appear to play a role when she started at Spelman. However, he made it clear that he was very 'proud' of what his daughter had so far accomplished with her education. 'I’m so proud of her,' he gushed to Vanity Fair around the time she started school. 'She’s so smart. She’s going to flourish even more at college. It’s an exciting and beautiful time to find her own way and pursue her interests. I’m so proud.' Several of their children have publicly distanced themselves from Pitt following his 2016 split from Angelina.
The exes have been involved in a contentious years-long feud over custody, the dramatic circumstances under which their relationship ended and their ongoing business affairs.Angelina and Brad share a total of six children together.Jolie adopted her eldest son Maddox Chivan, 23, from an orphanage in Cambodia in 2002. After they began dating in 2005, Pitt went on to adopt Maddox as well. Three years later Jolie adopted Zahara from Ethiopia. Pitt also went on to adopt her. In 2006 the pair welcomed their first biological child, Shiloh, 18. They went on to further expand their family in 2007, when they adopted Pax Thien, 20. The pair later welcomed twins Knox and Vivienne, 16, in 2008. Most recently, Shiloh legally dropped her father's last name. She was officially granted a name change from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie last week, after she first filed to drop Pitt's name on her 18th birthday back in May. Insiders have revealed how Brad has been processing the situation, insisting that he respects her decision and has become accustomed to the strained relationship he has with his children and ex-wife. 'He knew this was coming and there is nothing he can do about it right now,' a source exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com. 'It's sad but Brad's strained relationship with his kids and Angelina is just a way of life for him now.' The insider added that Brad will always leave the door open for his estranged children should they be willing to reconnect in the future. 'He will be there for Shiloh and any of his kids whenever they need, no questions asked. But it's up to them to make the next move.' Brad and Angelina met in 2004 while filming Mr. And Mrs. Smith before tying the knot in 2014. The couple filed for divorce in September 2016 and have had a strained relationship since. Shiloh and Zahara's younger sister Vivienne also dropped the last name in the Playbill credit for The Outsiders, a play she helped to produce alongside her mother. All six children appeared to form a tight unit with Angelina after the now infamous incident onboard a private jet in 2016. An FBI report, which was published in 2022, saw Angelina accuse Brad of physical assault while flying to California. She claimed that he was intoxicated and grabbed her by the head, shook her, and later pushed her down, as part of a confrontation allegedly related to their children.The Salt actress told the FBI that Brad told the children that she was 'f***ing up this family,' and claimed he punched the ceiling of the airplane four times. A source close to Brad later insisted that he never hit any of the children, though they admitted that he had been drinking. They were declared legally single in 2019, but have yet to finalize their divorce owing to an ongoing legal battle over their co-ownership of Chateau Miraval.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh, 18, has got some slick dance moves.On Saturday, her choreographer, Kolanie Marks, shared an Instagram video of his student busting a move to Capella Grey, Jaewon and Young M.A.'s track, Fly S**t.In his caption, he praised the former couple's teenager and marveled over her 'growing' confidence. 'Yo!! Thats it im officially her ADOPTED UNCLEA LMAO, the artistic director wrote under the footage. 'I've watched this so many times and the confidence is growing and building!'He continued: 'Keep going @sh1lohj I'm so so proud.' Marks also gave a shoutout to choreographer Devin Solomon.He also shared a clip in his Instagram Story and wrote: 'She's getting so good! I'm happy that she's sticking to the training!' Last month, Marks revealed that he'd been training Shiloh for a few years and they met while she was taking a class at Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles. 'He said she has dedicated herself to trying to figure out' his style of dance and that is all they work on. They do not discuss her famous family, saying their relationship is 'very strictly based off of what we focus on, which is the dancing.' 'I totally forgot who she is in that moment, because that's not what we focus on when we're training,' he said. 'I wanted to give her praise, of just the hard work and dedication that she puts in.' Jolie and Pitt, also share Maddox, 23, Zahara, 19, Pax, 20, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16. Earlier this week, it was revealed that Shiloh legally dropped her father's surname.Shiloh, who hired and paid for her own lawyer when she filed to drop the Pitt name on her 18th birthday in May, filed to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. TMZ reported there was no formal hearing for the name change - with the petition granted on Monday, per official court documents.Last month, Shiloh took out a newspaper ad marking the name change – which is a standard step before the court approves a name change. The notice also stated anyone who had objections to the petition should show up in court. A source close to the matter told Dailymail.com last month: ‘Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn’t know and can’t speak for it. 'But, if you’re asking if this is connected to the abuse history or the violation of Shiloh’s victims rights, yes, that’s part of it.'

Angelina Jolie's dad Jon Voight pleads for Brad Pitt to end 'nonsense' divorce battle for sake of 'kids' stability'

Angelina Jolie's estranged father Jon Voight has pleaded for her ex Brad Pitt to end their 'nonsense' eight year divorce battle for their children's sake.Voight, 85, who last month slammed Jolie's political views, told Fox News Digital that he wished pair could 'find a way to make peace' - just days after Pitt's daughter Shiloh officially dropped his surname.He said: 'You know, I think the kids need some stability. I love the kids, and I love my daughter. And I want Brad to step up to do, you know, what he has to do. End this nonsense. He added that he 'doesn't talk to his grandchildren as much as [he'd] like.'Pitt and Jolie share six children - and split in 2016 - yet their divorce - including a contentious battle over a vineyard - has kept their split drama rumbling on. A source close to Pitt told Page Six that the famed Chateau Miraval suit protects the Hollywood star’s six children.They said: 'It’s important that people realize that Brad’s motivation is to ensure that his kids can maximize the benefit of this asset.'Once it was sold, that’s no longer the case and it significantly decreased their inheritance.In July Voight claimed his daughter's views on the Israel-Hamas war have been 'influenced by anti-Semitic people' during a fiery interview with Variety.'She has been exposed to propaganda,' right-wing pro-Israel firebrand Voight said. 'She's been influenced by anti-Semitic people.'Angie has a connection to the U.N., and she's enjoyed speaking out for refugees. But these people are not refugees.' Although the father-daughter duo have had moments of reconciliation throughout their strained relationship, they have also experienced many turbulent moments that have led to them becoming estranged.But Voight's latest incendiary comment came less than a month after he said he was 'proud' of Jolie and his granddaughter Vivienne after they stole the spotlight at the 2024 Tony Awards with their remarkable victory. The mother-daughter duo produced the musical The Outsiders, which won four trophies, including the top honor of Best Musical. 'I'm very proud of Vivienne,' Oscar winner Voight, 85, told TMZ afterward. 'I'm really proud of Angie because she really tries to encourage each of the kids to be what they want to be.' Shiloh, who hired and paid for her own lawyer when she filed to drop the Pitt name on her 18th birthday in May, filed to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.
TMZ reports there was no formal hearing for the name change - with the petition granted on Monday, per official court documents.Last month Shiloh took out a newspaper ad marking the name change - which is a standard step before the court would approve a name change.The notice also stated anyone who had objections to the petition should show up in court.A source close to the matter told Dailymail.com last month: ‘Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn’t know and can’t speak for it. 'But, if you’re asking if this is connected to the abuse history or the violation of Shiloh’s victims rights, yes, that’s part of it.’The revelation that Shiloh paid herself suggests that the ugly spat between former couple Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 48, may still rumble on in the form of legal action from the six children the couple once shared. There have been long custody battles which ended eventually in a victory for Pitt, who got 50-50 custody in 2021 only to have it overturned on appeal.He’s had a judge intervene to tell Angelina she mustn’t listen in on his mobile phone calls with the children. The judge has also ordered ‘reunification therapy’ for Pitt and the kids.The actor set up a skate park in his home for Shiloh, and more recently an art studio to reflect their common interest in art.He’s sent cars and security to ferry the children from her home to his whenever there is an allotted custody visit. Sadly, none of it has brought them closer.In fact son Pax said in an Instagram post in 2016 that all four of the youngest children – that’s including Shiloh – ‘tremble with fear in his presence.’ The two elder ones were at that point already declining point blank to see him.The current situation has seen the children - Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh 18, and Knox and Vivienne, 16 - form a tight gang of seven with his former wife.A central issue seems to be a notorious private jet confrontation in 2016.An FBI report on the incident, which was published in 2022, saw Jolie accuse Pitt of physical assault while flying to California in 2016. She claimed that he was intoxicated and that he grabbed her by the head and shook her, and later pushed her down, as part of a confrontation allegedly related to their children.
Jolie told the FBI that Pitt told the children that she was 'f***ing up this family,' and she said he punched the ceiling of the airplane four times. She claimed that at one point he poured beer on her and a blanket she was under with multiple children. Source close to Pitt later claimed that he never hit any of the children, though they admitted that he had been drinking. This comes amid recent claims that Pitt and Jolie's divorce - which has now dragged on for eight years - is still ongoing as neither of the stars can 'let it go.A source told People 'their disagreements took over' in the relationship, adding that things 'turned nasty and it was not a good situation for anyone.''All the bitterness is partly why the divorce has dragged on for so many years. Neither will let it go. You’d think they would be over it and just settle.' A separate insider said: 'Both of them were having issues with each other. The differences added up over time. It's really sad for the children, but also the parents. Divorce, especially one so high-profile, can be challenging for the whole family.'They both care. They both care about the children.'Pitt and Jolie began dating publicly shortly after he and his then-wife Jennifer Aniston announced their divorce in 2005.The Mr. And Mrs. Smith costars remained unmarried for years despite having multiple adopted and biological children together, but they got engaged in 2012 and finally tied the knot in 2014.However, it was only around two years later when the Maleficent actress filed for divorce in 2016. She and Pitt were declared legally single in 2019.Pitt is now dating Ines de Ramon, 35.

Angelina Jolie is the new face of Tom Ford's beauty brand.The Hollywood actress has become the first ever celebrity ambassador for Tom Ford Beauty after agreeing to star in a new campaign for the fashion mogul's relaunched lipstick line Runway Lip Color which launches in September.Angelina insisted she's a big fan of the brand's Scarlet Rouge shade, which she is seen wearing in the new ads. She told WWD.com: 'It's a beautiful color and texture. A good red lip needs little else. It's worn with intention. That was part of the discussion.' Tom Ford Beauty's president and chief executive officer Guillaume Jesel added of bringing in Jolie: 'She appeals to a broad demographic, and she has global appeal. We are branded very internationally, and are well diversified around the world. And her appeal to Gen Z is very interesting.'He also explained the adverts featuring the actress have an intentional link to the film world, saying: 'In terms of the celebrity aspect, the connection of film is something that's been there naturally.'Tom is a filmmaker and he shot a lot of his own photography. The connection to film and the cinematic aspect of the visual imagery that he created for this brand set it aside from anyone else and has been integral to our DNA.' He added of the revamped lip range: 'Lip is the ultimate fashion accessory, it's a carrier of the brand DNA, and it is at the core of the brand identity.'The new collection replaces the previous Lip Color lipsticks and will boast 18 shades - 10 which are new and eight which have been brought over from the previous range.Runway Lip Color also features Runway Lip Pencils in eight shades. The lipsticks are priced at $62 while the pencils retail for $46.This comes as Jolie's son Pax is said to be 'stable' after his e-bike accident.The mother-of-six 'Maleficent' actress, 49, reportedly raced to be by her boy's side when the 20-year-old was hospitalised following his crash at around 5pm on Monday (29.07.24) when he was on Los Feliz Boulevard, Los Angeles.A source has now told Page Six he is 'stable', adding Angelina 'is by Pax's side at the hospital as he recuperates'.Law enforcement sources told TMZ Pax smashed his electric bicycle into a stopped vehicle at a congested intersection when a traffic light turned red. The driver reportedly hopped out of the car to check on Pax before first responders were called.Pax – said not to have been wearing a helmet at the time of the incident – reportedly suffered a head injury and was left with hip pain and was then rushed to hospital for treatment.Page Six said even though paramedics were worried that Pax was experiencing minor brain bleeding, it is understood he is 'doing better' and 'may be discharged' from hospital later on Tuesday (30.07.24.)Along with Pax, Angelina has five other children with her 60-year-old 'Fight Club' actor ex – Maddox, 22, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Angelina and Brad started dating in 2004 and married 10 years later – but split in 2016 and have been since been embroiled in bitter battles over child custody and ownership deals linked to their French vineyard.Brad initially won a 50-50 custody agreement that was sealed for privacy in 2021 but overturned later the same year.The exes were declared legally single in 2019 but their battles over custody, as well as their Chateau Miraval winery fight, are ongoing.
