Angelina Jolie and All-Grown-Up Son Pax Jolie-Pitt Step Out in New York City

1 year ago

A-list actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ended their relationship in 2016 after 11 years together and two years of marriage, but they’ll always be Dad and Mom to their six kids: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox. Angelina adopted two of their children (Maddox and Zahara) before her relationship with Brad (he later adopted them both as well), and they added another four kids to their brood from 2006 to 2008.

While they don’t publicly post about their kids (as some celebrity parents do) and the kids don’t have public social media accounts themselves, we’ve still been able to watch the family grow. Pitt and Jolie’s six kids have rapidly grown up before our eyes between their parents’ movie premieres, red carpets, public outings, and going off to college.

Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt

Brad and Angelina’s oldest child, Maddox (pictured right), was born on Aug. 5, 2001, in Cambodia. He was adopted by Angelina in 2002 when he was just 7 months old. At the time, Angelina was still married to Billy Bob Thornton, and they released a joint statement about the adoption. The two officially divorced shortly afterward. At 18, Maddox started college at Yonsei University in South Korea, with Angelina dropping him off. “I leave today, today’s the day I drop him off . . . I’m trying not to cry,” Angelina told Maddox’s classmates.

Back in April, Maddox accompanied his mom to the White House state dinner for South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol. His last public appearance with Angelina before that was at her UK premiere for “The Eternals” in October 2021.

Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt

The second-oldest Jolie-Pitt child, Pax, was born on Nov. 29, 2003, in Vietnam. He was adopted by the couple in March 2007 at the age of 3. He’s made a handful of public appearances with his family through the years – including at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards and 2019 world premiere of Angelina’s “Maleficent.” Most recently, Maddox was spotted out and about with his mom in New York City in June.

Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt

The third-oldest Jolie-Pitt kid is Zahara, who was born on Jan. 8, 2005, in Ethiopia. She was adopted first by Angelina in July 2005, then by Pitt in 2006. Fun fact about Zahara’s name: her middle name, Marley, is in honor of Bob Marley, per CNN. She’s currently a student at Spelman College, which Jolie considers “an honor” to have one of her children attend the prestigious school.

Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt

Angelina and Brad’s first biological child, Shiloh (pictured right), was born on May 27, 2006. Although Shiloh had been raised in the US since she was a baby, Shiloh was born in Namibia.

Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt

The former couple’s youngest son, Knox (pictured far right), was born on July 12, 2008. He and his twin sister, Vivienne, are the youngest Jolie-Pitt kids. They were born in Nice, France, making for six US-raised Jolie-Pitt kids who weren’t actually born in the US.

Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt

Brad and Angelina’s youngest daughter, Vivienne (pictured far left), was born on July 12, 2008, with her twin brother, Knox. Although she may not have been old enough to remember it, Vivienne was actually cast in “Maleficent” along with her mom to play baby Aurora as a toddler. All of the other kids who tried out for the part cried at the sight of Angelina in her full Maleficent makeup, but her mama’s look didn’t faze Vivienne one bit.
