What the Kids of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Look Like Now

People
6 months ago

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt prefer to\u00a0keep all of\u00a0their kids sheltered from the world\u00a0\u2014 they have chosen to\u00a0homeschool them and none of\u00a0the kids have social media accounts. But all of\u00a0this secrecy makes\u00a0us wonder what they\u2019re doing even more.

\n

1. Maddox Chivan

Jolie adopted her first child from an\u00a0orphanage in\u00a0Battambang, Cambodia, in\u00a02002, when he\u00a0was only 7\u00a0months old.\u00a04\u00a0years later, he\u00a0was also adopted by\u00a0Brad Pitt and changed his surname from \u201cJolie\u201d to\u00a0\u201cJolie-Pitt.\u201d Now, he\u2019s already 22\u00a0years old, and he\u2019s been studying at\u00a0Yonsei University in\u00a0Seoul, South Korea, since 2019.

2. Pax Thien

Jolie adopted 3-year-old Pax in\u00a02007 from an\u00a0orphanage in\u00a0Ho\u00a0Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The next year, Pitt adopted the boy as\u00a0well. Today, he\u2019s 19\u00a0years old, he\u2019s interested in\u00a0photography and also played a\u00a0minor role in\u00a0Maleficent.

3. Zahara Marley

Zahara was adopted by\u00a0Jolie from an\u00a0orphanage in\u00a0Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in\u00a02005. She was 6\u00a0months old at\u00a0the time. Brad Pitt adopted Zahara the next year. For now, she\u2019s 18, and she already has a\u00a0couple of\u00a0film credits, but her dream is\u00a0to\u00a0become a\u00a0supermodel.

4. Shiloh Nouvel

In\u00a0order to\u00a0welcome their first biological child, Jolie and Pitt traveled to\u00a0Namibia, where Jolie gave birth to\u00a0her daughter in\u00a0a\u00a0city named Swakopmund. Today, Shiloh is\u00a017\u00a0years old and is\u00a0already considered an\u00a0LGBTQ+ idol.

5. Knox L\u00e9on and Vivienne Marcheline

In\u00a02008, Jolie gave birth to\u00a0twins\u00a0\u2014 a\u00a0son, Knox, and a\u00a0daughter, Vivienne\u00a0\u2014 in\u00a0a\u00a0seaside hospital in\u00a0Nice, France. They\u2019re now 15\u00a0years old, and they have some acting credits, just like their siblings.

Celebrating Brad Pitt\u2019s 59th birthday, a\u00a0tribute reveals seven lesser-known facts about the actor, including his struggle with face blindness, philanthropic efforts, early career dressing as\u00a0a\u00a0chicken, near-journalism career, intentional tooth chipping for a\u00a0role, skincare line launch, and a\u00a0real-life heroic act.

In\u00a0a\u00a0heartwarming tale, Angelina Jolie\u2019s adoption of\u00a0Maddox from Cambodia is\u00a0explored, highlighting their remarkable bond, Maddox\u2019s positive impact on\u00a0Jolie\u2019s life, the family\u2019s view on\u00a0adoption, and efforts to\u00a0incorporate Maddox\u2019s cultural background into his upbringing.

Finally, a\u00a0keen observation of\u00a0film mishaps includes a\u00a0mention of\u00a0Brad Pitt\u2019s improbable consumption of\u00a0two different dishes in\u00a0a\u00a0brief scene in\u00a0\u201cOcean\u2019s Eleven,\u201d adding to\u00a0a\u00a0list of\u00a0intriguing movie inaccuracies.

Angelina Jolie\u2019s deep bond with her late mother, Marcheline, profoundly shaped her life. Jolie\u2019s touching eulogy for Marcheline reveals the sacrifices she made for her children and the inspiration she provided. The actress\u2019s commitment to\u00a0being a\u00a0guiding light for her own children mirrors the love and strength she received from her mother.

While Angelina Jolie is\u00a0often compared to\u00a0modern beauties, the 2017 Cannes Film Festival stirred controversy by\u00a0altering a\u00a0photo of\u00a020th-century actress Claudia Cardinale, suggesting evolving beauty standards. Cardinale herself dismissed the changes, emphasizing the dreamlike nature of\u00a0the image.

The tumultuous relationship between Angelina Jolie and her father, John Voight, has been a\u00a0topic of\u00a0public interest for years. Despite their past differences and periods of\u00a0estrangement, the two have found common ground, particularly after the passing of\u00a0Jolie\u2019s mother. Their shared passion for film and the presence of\u00a0Jolie\u2019s children have played pivotal roles in\u00a0mending their bond, marking a\u00a0new chapter in\u00a0their relationship.

In a new court filing, Angelina Jolie accused Brad Pitt of choking one of their children and striking another on a 2016 flight.

The former couple has been engaged in a lengthy legal battle since Jolie first filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016. The two have been single since 2019.

The biggest stake in the divorce continues to be the custody arrangements for the couple's youngest children.

In 2021, Brad Pitt was awarded joint custody of his six children with Angelina Jolie, a source familiar with the situation confirmed to Insider. Page Six first reported the news.

\"Pitt has always been seeking the opportunity to have more time with his children and prioritized their well being while the other side did everything to try and stop that,\" the source, whose identity is known to Insider but is being withheld due to the nature of the information, told Insider at the time.

If you're not familiar with the Jolie-Pitt family, here's a primer on the children in the order they became a part of the Brangie brood.

Maddox was adopted by Jolie in 2002 from Cambodia and originally changed his name from Rath Vibol to Maddox Chivan Thornton Jolie when she was still married to Billy Bob Thornton.

The following year, she opened a foundation in Cambodia (now the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation) which helps provide health care, education, and conservation projects. In 2006, a children's center was opened under his name in Cambodia's capital.

Maddox had a small part in Pitt's 2013 movie \"World War Z\" where he played a zombie who was shot. Maddox helped his mother with work on a Netflix original film based in his home country of Cambodia. Jolie directed and produced an adaptation of the Loung Ung memoir, \"First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers.\"

\"The film will change Mad, but as much as he's discovering the horrors of the past, he'll also be discovering the culture before the war, the dignity of his country, how they held their heads up,\" Jolie told Vogue in 2015 of Maddox's role working on the film.

It has also been reported that an alleged fight between Pitt and Maddox on a plane trip may have played a role in Jolie's decision to file for divorce. In a statement released by Jolie's attorney at the time of the announcement, it was said the decision to divorce \"was made for the health of the family.\"

The FBI cleared Pitt of child-abuse allegations in November 2016.

Maddox currently studies at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. In a 2020 interview with Extra, Jolie said Maddox returned to the US to take his classes online. And in February 2021, Maddox showed off a rare look at the large dragon tattoo he has inked on his right rib-cage in a photo British Vogue published of Jolie cutting her son's hair. The photo was among several intimate at-home snapshots Jolie shared for the magazine's March cover story.

Maddox celebrated his 21st birthday in August with Jolie and his siblings before helping his sister, Zahara, start her own college journey.

Zahara also provided her voice in \"Kung Fu Panda 3\" and has a small uncredited role in \"Maleficent,\" according to IMDB.

Jolie started work on an Ethiopian facility in 2011 to be named after her daughter for children who have been diagnosed with HIV or tuberculosis.

Zahara appears to be pretty close with sister Shiloh. The two have been seen out on shopping excursions together and attended Nickelodeon's 28th annual Kids' Choice Awards in 2015 with Angelina Jolie.

Jolie revealed in a March 2020 Time essay for International Women's Day that she \"spent the last two months in and out of surgeries with my eldest daughter,\" referring to Zahara, but did not disclose the \"medical challenges\" her daughter was facing. A source told ET that month that Pitt had skipped that year's BAFTAs to be with Zahara during her recovery.

Zahara started classes at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia this fall.

Pitt and Jolie's first biological daughter was born in May 2006. People paid a reported $4 million for the exclusive US rights to run the first photos of Shiloh.

When young, Shiloh preferred dressing in masculine clothes \u2014 fedoras and sometimes ties. In 2008, Pitt explained to Oprah how then-2-year-old Shiloh would ask to be called John.

Two years later, Jolie opened up to Vanity Fair about their daughter.

\"She likes tracksuits, she likes [regular] suits,\" Jolie said. \"She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys' everything. She thinks she's one of the brothers.\"

As she got older, Shiloh debuted a new look with longer hair, which she often wears up high when attending events with her family.

Shiloh may have ditched suits for the time being, but often opts for fun and comfortable shoes over heels on red carpets.

Jolie wrote in the same March 2020 Time essay where she talked about Zahara's surgery that another of her daughters underwent a hip surgery around the same time. The actress didn't specify whether she was talking about Shiloh or her youngest daughter, Vivienne, but People confirmed at the time that then 13-year-old Shiloh had been photographed walking on crutches. 

Most recently, Shiloh appeared as a dancer in a video for Doja Cat's song, \"Vegas,\" which is featured in the movie \"Elvis.\"

Jolie's second oldest son Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt was adopted in 2007 from Vietnam when he was three years old. His name means peaceful sky in Latin and Vietnamese, respectively. Pitt adopted Pax a year later in 2008.

Pax, along with his brother Maddox, has shown off some cool hairstyles over the years ranging from mohawks to dyed looks. He celebrated his seventh birthday with the family in Paris where they rode in a hot-air balloon and went on a party cruise. That same year, in 2011, Jolie took Pax back to Vietnam for a visit so he could learn more about his culture.

A zip-up shark hoodie became a staple outfit of his to hide from the paparazzi. 

Like some of his siblings, he also had a small role in one of his parents' films. He had a small uncredited role in Jolie's \"Maleficent.\" Pax also recorded some animal noises for pandas in \"Kung Fu Panda 3\" along with his siblings Zahara, Shiloh, and Knox. Pax was reportedly helping Jolie with her Netflix film by taking still photos on set.

Knox L\u00e9on and Vivienne Marcheline were born July 12, 2008. Knox is the middle name of Pitt's grandfather while Leon is the name of Jolie's great-great-grandfather. Marcheline is the name of Jolie's mother. The fraternal twins are spitting images of their sibling Shiloh. 

In 2011, Jolie described Vivienne, who she refers to as Vivi, as a \"girly girl\" who likes to get her nails done and loves the color pink. Jolie used the words \"elegant and delicate\" to describe her youngest daughter to Marie Claire in 2011. Meanwhile, Knox is just the opposite, according to Jolie, who described him then as a tough little \"dude\" who likes dinos and swords.

Vivienne played a pint-sized version of Princess Aurora in \"Maleficent\" alongside her mom, a role for which she reportedly earned $3,000 per week. Knox, meanwhile, recorded animal noises for \"Kung Fu Panda 3,\" which Jolie voiced a part in herself.

The twins modeled in Vogue alongside their siblings and parents for the magazine's November 2015 issue. Jolie told Vanity Fair that Vivienne wants to learn Arabic while Knox was learning sign language.

And Knox may have a future in design. For Mother's Day in 2014, Knox had one of his Maleficent drawings turned into a gold ring. Vivienne, meanwhile, practices karate.

People
6 months ago

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt prefer to\u00a0keep all of\u00a0their kids sheltered from the world\u00a0\u2014 they have chosen to\u00a0homeschool them and none of\u00a0the kids have social media accounts. But all of\u00a0this secrecy makes\u00a0us wonder what they\u2019re doing even more.

1. Maddox Chivan

Jolie adopted her first child from an\u00a0orphanage in\u00a0Battambang, Cambodia, in\u00a02002, when he\u00a0was only 7\u00a0months old.\u00a04\u00a0years later, he\u00a0was also adopted by\u00a0Brad Pitt and changed his surname from \u201cJolie\u201d to\u00a0\u201cJolie-Pitt.\u201d Now, he\u2019s already 22\u00a0years old, and he\u2019s been studying at\u00a0Yonsei University in\u00a0Seoul, South Korea, since 2019.

2. Pax Thien

Jolie adopted 3-year-old Pax in\u00a02007 from an\u00a0orphanage in\u00a0Ho\u00a0Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The next year, Pitt adopted the boy as\u00a0well. Today, he\u2019s 19\u00a0years old, he\u2019s interested in\u00a0photography and also played a\u00a0minor role in\u00a0Maleficent.

3. Zahara Marley

Zahara was adopted by\u00a0Jolie from an\u00a0orphanage in\u00a0Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in\u00a02005. She was 6\u00a0months old at\u00a0the time. Brad Pitt adopted Zahara the next year. For now, she\u2019s 18, and she already has a\u00a0couple of\u00a0film credits, but her dream is\u00a0to\u00a0become a\u00a0supermodel.

In\u00a0order to\u00a0welcome their first biological child, Jolie and Pitt traveled to\u00a0Namibia, where Jolie gave birth to\u00a0her daughter in\u00a0a\u00a0city named Swakopmund. Today, Shiloh is\u00a017\u00a0years old and is\u00a0already considered an\u00a0LGBTQ+ idol.

In\u00a02008, Jolie gave birth to\u00a0twins\u00a0\u2014 a\u00a0son, Knox, and a\u00a0daughter, Vivienne\u00a0\u2014 in\u00a0a\u00a0seaside hospital in\u00a0Nice, France. They\u2019re now 15\u00a0years old, and they have some acting credits, just like their siblings.

Celebrating Brad Pitt\u2019s 59th birthday, a\u00a0tribute reveals seven lesser-known facts about the actor, including his struggle with face blindness, philanthropic efforts, early career dressing as\u00a0a\u00a0chicken, near-journalism career, intentional tooth chipping for a\u00a0role, skincare line launch, and a\u00a0real-life heroic act.

In\u00a0a\u00a0heartwarming tale, Angelina Jolie\u2019s adoption of\u00a0Maddox from Cambodia is\u00a0explored, highlighting their remarkable bond, Maddox\u2019s positive impact on\u00a0Jolie\u2019s life, the family\u2019s view on\u00a0adoption, and efforts to\u00a0incorporate Maddox\u2019s cultural background into his upbringing.

Finally, a\u00a0keen observation of\u00a0film mishaps includes a\u00a0mention of\u00a0Brad Pitt\u2019s improbable consumption of\u00a0two different dishes in\u00a0a\u00a0brief scene in\u00a0\u201cOcean\u2019s Eleven,\u201d adding to\u00a0a\u00a0list of\u00a0intriguing movie inaccuracies.

Angelina Jolie\u2019s deep bond with her late mother, Marcheline, profoundly shaped her life.

Their shared passion for film and the presence of\u00a0Jolie\u2019s children have played pivotal roles in\u00a0mending their bond, marking a\u00a0new chapter in\u00a0their relationship.

If you're reading this it's unlikely you need an introduction to Angelina Jolie. After all, she has been referred to as \"the most famous actress in the world,\" according to Insider.

\n

Daughter of actor Jon Voight, she went from small films like \"Hackers\" to being an internationally-respected actress and activist, and Angelina Jolie has earn a stunning net worth along the way. The transformation from Academy Award-winning actress to world-renowned humanitarian began in Cambodia where she was filming the blockbuster \"Lara Croft: Tomb Raider\" franchise. Another journey began there in Cambodia: her journey to becoming a mother. Maddox, the \"Eternals\" star's eldest child, was adopted from an orphanage in Cambodia in 2002, shortly after Jolie had been named UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador for her work with refugees, per UNHCR.

\n
\n

It is much less likely you've heard of Elizabeth Jacobs, though that may soon change. She wasn't a household name in 2002, having been adopted herself from Cambodia in 2000. Now she's a young director whose first feature-length documentary titled \"Stolen Children\" is making waves (via Daily Mail). The film follows Jacobs' return to Cambodia 21 years later armed with nothing but a desire to, as she told Shoutout LA, \"uncover the truth about my adoption and whether or not I was involved in the baby trafficking scandal that happened exactly the same time I was adopted.\" This is where the Jolie and Jacob's paths intersect, and it appears the superstar may be caught up in the wave created by the young documentarian.

The question of how the two women are connected begins with the adoptions themselves. In 2004 a woman named Lauryn Galindo, who had facilitated adoptions of Cambodian children spanning over a decade, was handed down a prison sentence after pleading guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit visa fraud and money laundering (via ABC News).

\n
\n

The charges stemmed from something much darker, the accusation that she \"stole\" children from vulnerable women. Allegedly, some women were coerced to give up their child with promises of thousands of dollars from rich American parents but who reportedly received far less including amounts reported to be as low as $15 or even a bag of rice.

\n

Meanwhile, Galindo got rich as the former hula dancer owned multiple homes around the world including a lavish property in Hawaii, as reported by ABC News. Essentially, Galindo put hundreds of Cambodian children in the hands of American parents. Among the trafficked are both Jacobs and allegedly the \"Mr. and Mrs. Smith\" star's son Maddox, according to The Sun.

Lauryn Galindo operated in murky waters, the result of which has cast suspicion on all the adoptions she oversaw, reportedly half of all Cambodian adoptions during that time, via Daily Mail.

\n

Despite there being no specific evidence of any wrongdoing by the \"Maleficent\" actress \u2013 or the other unsuspecting parents who believed Galindo's stories about the pasts of the children they were adopting \u2013 questions remain about the validity of the adoptions themselves per\u00a0Radar Online.

\n

At the time of Maddox's adoption the \"Girl, Interrupted\" star was married to her \"Pushing Tin\" co-star Billy Bob Thornton. Her on-screen and off-screen leading man wasn't in Maddox's life for long as the couple divorced in 2003.\u00a0Newsweek reports that it was revealed that Jolie had actually adopted her first child without the \"Bad Santa\" actor.

\n

In 2006, during his marriage to the \"Changeling\" leading lady, Brad Pitt formally adopted Maddox. This parental relationship has been a rocky one with the eldest Jolie-Pitt, who was the only adult child of the couple at the time \u2013 even testifying against the Pitt in court proceedings for custody, according to\u00a0Us Weekly.\u00a0However, in May 2021, Pitt was granted joint custody of their children, including Maddox, per\u00a0NBC News.\u00a0

This is not the first time questions have been raised specifically about Maddox Pitt's adoption.\u00a0

\n

In 2017, Cambodian charity aid director Mounh Sarath told The Sun he had claimed on paper to be Jolie-Pitt's father to assist the actress, stating, \"She had to change his name, so the only way was for me to do it. I said he's my son.\" The Sun reports there is no evidence Angelina Jolie or her then-husband actor Billy Bob Thorton had knowledge of any false paperwork.

\n
\n

The \"Wanted\" actress has maintained her son's past was researched thoroughly. Daily Mail reports the claims that Jolie and Thornton went to \"great lengths to ensure Maddox did not have a living birth-mother in Cambodia.\"

\n

She expanded on her belief that her son was not one of the \"stolen\" children and reportedly said, per\u00a0The Sun, \"I would never rob a mother of her child. I can only imagine how dreadful that would feel.\"\u00a0
