Zahara Jolie-Pitt is the adoptive daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, a former celebrity couple. Along with her three brothers and two sisters, she is a member of the large Jolie-Pitt family. In 2006, she appeared on the television programme ‘VH1: All Access’ in the episode ’20 Cutest Celebrity Babies. She appeared in a brief uncredited appearance in her mother’s dark fantasy film ‘Maleficent’ in 2014. In 2016, she lent her voice to the animated film ‘Kung Fu Panda 3’ as Meng Meng. Given that Zahara’s elder brother Maddox just co-starred in the film ‘First They Killed My Father,’ which Jolie also wrote, produced, and directed, it’s conceivable that Zahara will launch her professional career in a family endeavor as well. When asked where she envisions her children in the future, Jolie responded that they will most likely be distributed over the world, with some continuing her humanitarian efforts on a global scale.
The Ascendant’s Meteoric Ascendancy to Stardom
Since her high-profile parents adopted her, Zahara Jolie-Pitt has been a familiar figure in the media. She is famous for giving photographers the ‘death-stare,’ but according to Jolie, she is extremely feminine, “maternal,” and “full of joy.” She and her family have made several appearances at various occasions. However, she recently made headlines after her biological mother expressed her willingness to contact her in the public.
Behind The Scenes
Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt was born in Awasa, Ethiopia on January 8, 2005. Angelina Jolie and her then-boyfriend Brad Pitt adopted her from an orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on July 6, 2005, when she was only six months old. The couple decided to adopt an Ethiopian child during a visit to the country earlier that year. She was given the name Zahara Marley Jolie following the adoption, and after a year, when Pitt officially adopted her, she was given the name Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt. She is the couple’s second adopted child, following Maddox Chivan, and their third altogether, as Pax Thien, adopted a year later, is older.
She also has three younger siblings – Shiloh Nouvel, Knox Léon, and Vivienne Marcheline, the couple’s biological children. Jolie is the granddaughter of actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand on her mother’s side. After seven years of dating, Zahara’s adoptive parents announced their engagement in April 2012. They married on August 23, 2014, at their Correns, France, residence Château Miraval. They divorced two years later, in September 2016, when Pitt’s alcoholism resulted in a fight with Maddox, prompting Jolie to seek sole physical custody of their children. The children apparently struggled to accept Pitt’s absence, but Jolie permitted them to spend Father’s Day with him.
Zahara’s Birth Controversies When Angelina Jolie originally adopted Marley Jolie-Pitt, she was initially believed to be an AIDS orphan, as her biological grandmother’s official evidence stated that her parents died of AIDS. Her biological mother, Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, has lately come out to explain the truth about her birth. According to her testimony, she fell pregnant with Zahara following a heinous rape. Both she and her child were ill following her delivery, and being from an impoverished home, she was unable to support her daughter.
She previously stated in an interview that she left her daughter with her mother because she was unable to cope with the struggles of being a young mother. According to this version of the narrative, Zahara was placed for adoption by her grandmother. However, her mother reportedly said that she organized the adoption herself due to her inability to financially maintain her daughter. In a January 2017 interview, she indicated that she misses her daughter and would not abandon her if given another chance.
She also appreciated Jolie’s efforts on behalf of her daughter and her role as a mother, for which she is eternally thankful. While she made it clear that she has no intention of interfering with her daughter’s current life, she wants Zahara to remember that she has family in Ethiopia. She also pleaded with Angelina Jolie to allow her to contact her daughter.
Intriguingly, it was reported in June 2017 that Jolie was considering taking the family to Ethiopia to commemorate Zahara’s adoption anniversary. The Jolie-Pitt family is well-known for traveling the world; however, Pitt was not permitted to accompany them this time around due to Angelina Jolie’s shattered heart. It’s critical to note that Jolie has always made a point of informing her adopted children about their cultural origins.
