Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s 6 Kids: Everything to Know

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, despite no longer being a couple, are proud parents to six remarkable children. Here’s a glimpse into the lives of their six kids:

1. Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt (Born August 5, 2001): Maddox was adopted by Angelina from an orphanage in Cambodia in 2002, making her a mother for the first time. Despite her previous marriage to Billy Bob Thornton, Angelina adopted Maddox as a single parent. After starting a relationship with Brad Pitt in 2005, Maddox was formally adopted by Brad in 2008. Maddox is deeply interested in Angelina’s humanitarian work and filmmaking. He even worked as an executive producer on Angelina’s film “First They Killed My Father.” In 2019, he began studying biochemistry and the Korean language at South Korea’s Yonsei University.
2. Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt (Born January 8, 2005): Zahara was adopted by Angelina from Ethiopia when she was seven months old. Maddox, Angelina’s eldest son, accompanied her on the trip to Africa, and he noticed that Zahara needed care. After adopting Zahara, Angelina and Brad returned to the United States. They later visited Ethiopia with Zahara, where they met with the country’s first female president, Sahle-Work Zewde. Zahara also launched her own jewelry line, the Zahara Collection, which raised funds for a Los Angeles-based organization providing housing for battered women and children.
3. Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt (Born May 27, 2006): Shiloh was born in Namibia, where Angelina and Brad spent several months. She is known for her fashion choices and has been a supportive presence on her mother’s humanitarian trips and red carpet events. Shiloh also shares a love for dance and practices at an elite dance studio in L.A.
4. Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt (Born November 29, 2003): Pax was adopted by Angelina from Vietnam. Angelina initially adopted him as a single parent, as it was difficult for unmarried couples to adopt in Vietnam. Brad Pitt formally adopted him in 2008. Pax played a role in some of Angelina’s film projects and worked on her film “Without Blood” as part of the assistant director department. He’s described as a balanced teenager who’s learning and growing in his role.
5. Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt (Born July 12, 2008): Knox is one of Angelina and Brad’s twins. He arrived just before his sister, Vivienne. His name, Knox, pays tribute to Brad’s grandfather, Hal Knox Hillhouse. Knox has maintained a low profile but has shown entrepreneurial skills by selling homemade organic dog treats with his siblings at a park in L.A.
6. Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt (Born July 12, 2008): Vivienne is Knox’s fraternal twin and shares a name with Angelina’s late mother. She made her on-screen debut in “Maleficent,” portraying the younger version of Elle Fanning’s character Aurora. Vivienne is set to work as a volunteer assistant on Angelina’s Broadway adaptation of “The Outsiders.”

Despite the complex history of their family, Angelina and Brad’s children are thriving and have become diverse individuals, each with their own interests and passions. They’ve also actively participated in their mother’s humanitarian work and artistic endeavors.
