Sister-brother, polyglot and jewelry designer: how are the children of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie doing
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were once one of Hollywood's model couples. They regularly appeared at social events with their six children – Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. When Jolie filed for divorce in 2016 due to "irreconcilable differences" between her and Pitt, the children remained with their mother.
The former spouses had been suing for custody for five years. It was only recently that a decision was made about co-parenting. Find out what happened during this time with their children and what they are doing now, from our material.
A mother with many children is proud of her children. She says that in their family, everyone supports each other, like in a real team. Recently, Brad and Angelina were granted joint custody of the children after a five-year legal battle.
During the time that has passed since the divorce, the brothers and sisters have grown up noticeably, and many changes have taken place in their lives. That's what Pitt and Jolie's kids are doing right now.
Maddox, 19, was adopted in Cambodia in 2002 when he was a seven-month-old baby. At the time, Angelina was married to actor Billy Bob Thornton, but the couple separated three months later. The actress raised her adopted son alone, and in 2006, Brad Pitt also adopted him.
In 2017, Maddox worked with his mother on the historical thriller " First They Killed My Father." The story is about a five-year-old boy soldier who lived during the Khmer Rouge rule in Cambodia. The guy became the executive producer of the film, and Angelina co-wrote and directed it.
Now the young man is studying biochemistry, Russian and Korean languages at Yonsei University in South Korea. He speaks five languages, and Jolie is very proud of her eldest son. Maddox and his mother have an understanding, but he has a strained relationship with his father. In court, the guy testified in favor of Angelina.
Pax, 17, was born in Vietnam in 2003. The biological mother abandoned the baby a few months after its birth. Angelina Jolie adopted the boy in March 2007, when he was three years old. Despite the fact that at that time the actress met with Brad Pitt for two years, the Vietnamese authorities did not allow adoption to couples who were not officially married, so the actor became his adoptive father a year later in the United States.
Among all the children of Jolie and Pitt, Pax is the least public person. He voiced a small role in the animated film "Kung Fu Panda 3" in 2016, which Angelina also worked on, and appeared with her at the Golden Globe Awards in 2018. Recently, the guy began to learn his native language – Vietnamese.
16-year-old Zahara was born in Ethiopia. She, like Pax, was abandoned by her mother due to congenital health problems. Angelina and Brad adopted a six-month-old baby girl in 2005.
She voiced a small role in the cartoon "Kung Fu Panda 3" and created her own jewelry line-Zahara Collection. The girl sends the proceeds from the sales to shelters where victims of domestic violence live. In an interview, Jolie said that Zahara underwent several operations in 2020, but did not name her diagnosis. The actress admires her strong daughter and says that she learns a lot from her.
Zahara's biological mother makes statements that she wants to reunite with her daughter. She is happy that Jolie and Pitt have adopted a baby girl, but claims that she misses her very much. The woman is going to seek a meeting with Zahara in order to establish a relationship with her.
Now 15-year-old Shiloh prefers to be called John. She is the first biological daughter of Angelina and Brad, born in 2006. Before the birth of their daughter, the star couple went to Namibia to protect themselves from the media attention. The first photos of the girl were sold for 4.1 million dollars (about 300 million rubles). She became the first baby whose image was added to the famous collection of wax figures of Madame Tussauds.
Angelina said that Shiloh wanted to be a boy from an early age. Since 2010, she has worn only a short haircut and boyish clothes. The girl considers herself one of the brothers. She asks to be called John or Peter. The actress claims that she is not confused by the choice of her daughter. She believes that the main thing for children is to develop thinking, be independent and have their own opinion.
Shiloh is very close to Zahara. The sisters often go for walks, go shopping together, and appear at social events with their mother.
The youngest children of Jolie and Pitt were born in Nice in 2008. Their first photos were sold for $ 20 million (about 1.5 billion rubles). This is the highest price ever paid for pictures of stars.
The 12-year-old twins adore animals and raise money for the charity Hope for Paws by selling dog food. Vivienne is very similar to Angelina, and Knox inherited his father's appearance.
The youngest daughter of Jolie at the age of five played Aurora as a child in the film "Maleficent". The mother says that the girl does not like to wear dresses and be a princess.
Being a mother is hard work, being a mother of teenagers is a test of strength. Angelina Jolie honestly told how she copes with a large family.
