May 19, 2026 - 13:37

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Zahara has officially earned her college degree. The 21-year-old graduated from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.

Zahara, who was adopted by Jolie from Ethiopia in 2005, enrolled at the historically Black women's college in 2022. Her mother shared the news on social media, posting a photo of Zahara in her cap and gown alongside fellow graduates. Jolie wrote that she was proud of her daughter's hard work and dedication.

The graduation marks a major milestone for Zahara, who has largely stayed out of the public eye during her college years. She was seen on campus participating in student life and was a member of the school's Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, the oldest Greek-letter organization for Black women.

Jolie and Pitt, who were married from 2014 to 2019, have six children together. Zahara's graduation comes as the former couple continues to navigate co-parenting after their highly publicized divorce. Pitt was not seen at the ceremony, though it is unclear if he attended privately.

Spelman College is known for its rigorous academic programs and strong alumni network. Zahara's psychology degree opens doors to careers in mental health, research, or social work. For now, she has not announced her next steps.
