Angelina Jolie Is 'So Excited' and Emotional While Dropping Daughter Zahara Off at Spelman College

Angelina Jolie is a proud Spelman mom to Zahara Jolie-Pitt!

The Eternals star recently dropped her 17-year-old daughter off at Spelman College, as seen in photos shared by Vice President for Student Affairs Darryl Holloman on Instagram. The mother and daughter met with Holloman and school president Dr. Helene Gayle.

In the first photo, Jolie poses with Dr. Gayle on the school's campus. In a video, the two women chat while Holloman films. Asked how she feels about being a Spelman mom, Jolie replies, "I'm gonna start crying! I have not started crying yet."

Dr. Gayle jokes that there will be "plenty of time to cry" at the upcoming event, which she teases is "purposely to induce [tears] — bring it all out."

"I heard tomorrow night's the big night," Jolie replies. "I'm holding it together."

In another snap, Jolie and Zahara both pose with Holloman in what looks like a dorm room.
