Zahara and Maddox, the eldest children of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, are proceeding with the legal steps to officially drop their father's surname and adopt only their mother's last name, Jolie. They've completed the necessary paperwork and will face their court hearings in September to finalize this change. This move underscores their personal choice to distance themselves from their father following the highly publicized split of their parents.
