Brad Pitt’s Heartfelt Reaction to Zahara Jolie’s Estrangement: What He’s Still Proud Of

In a complex turn of events following his divorce from Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt continues to show unwavering pride in his daughter Zahara, despite the reported estrangement between them. Zahara, 19, made headlines in November 2023 when she publicly dropped Pitt’s surname during a ceremony for her induction into the Mu Pi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. As she introduced herself to her new sisters, Zahara identified herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie,” signaling a clear desire to distance herself from her father’s name and, potentially, from their relationship.

This public move raised eyebrows and pointed to a deeper rift between Zahara and Pitt, but sources close to the actor indicate that he has not given up on his relationship with his daughter, despite the apparent distance. An insider shared with In Touch, “Zahara has totally shut Brad out,” suggesting that the father-daughter relationship has become strained. However, the source emphasized that Pitt’s feelings for Zahara remain unchanged: “But that hasn’t stopped him loving her and wanting the very best for her.”

Brad Pitt has always been a proud father, and despite the complexities of his relationship with Jolie and their children, he continues to express admiration for the person Zahara has become. According to the source, “He’s still massively proud of the young woman she’s become.” This sentiment reflects Pitt’s ongoing affection for his children, even in the midst of family turmoil and strained relations.

While the public rift with Zahara has caught the attention of many, another aspect of Pitt’s personal life has garnered interest. The actor has reportedly been focused on his relationship with his girlfriend, Ines, whom he has been dating for three years. Sources close to Pitt suggest that he is “100% committed to Ines,” underscoring that he does not need a formal document to validate his dedication. In fact, despite the challenges in his relationship with his children, Pitt has reportedly been thinking about expanding his family with Ines, with discussions about having a baby number seven.

While Zahara’s decision to distance herself from Pitt remains a painful and public reality for the actor, it’s clear that his pride in her accomplishments and his desire for her happiness continue to define his approach to fatherhood. Despite the silence between them, Pitt’s focus on her growth and well-being reflects a love that remains steadfast, even in the face of estrangement.
