What I would give to be one of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s six children — Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, and twins Knox and Vivienne. Wealth aside, they travel all over the world, have the best connections, and Angie lets her kids take anything they want from her closet.
Admittedly, the kids have endured a public (and very contentious) eight-year divorce battle, so I probably shouldn’t look into other people’s proverbial windows. Despite their parents being two of the most famous faces in the world, the Jolie-Pitt kids have managed to stay mostly out of the spotlight and not one of them sells gummy vitamins on Instagram.
The Jolie-Pitt kids are getting older, and I have a feeling they will soon be taking over the world. Their interests range from dance and art to politics and global studies, and most of them already have some sort of IMDb-worthy credit under their belt.
Keep reading to see what the Jolie-Pitt kids are up to today.
Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie’s Kids Now:
Maddox Jolie-Pitt
Maddox enrolled in South Korea’s Yonsei University in 2019, where he is studying biochemistry. He moved back home to California to take classes remotely during the pandemic, but he eventually returned to campus.
Although he lives overseas, he does plenty of cool shit with his mom, like attending the state dinner at the White House in April 2023.
Jolie adopted Maddox from Cambodia in 2002 when he was 7 months old. She was still married to ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton at the time, but she adopted her first child on her own. Brad and Angelina got together in 2004, and the actor formally adopted Maddox when he was 4.
Zahara Jolie-Pitt
Zahara started at Spelman College in August 2022, and she pledged Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority in November 2023.
She’s extremely close with Angelina and the mother-daughter duo step out together frequently, including trips to New York City and Ethiopia. While attending multiple worldwide red carpet premieres for Angelina’s 2021 film The Eternals, Zahara upcycled several of her mom’s old gowns, taking full advantage of Angie’s open closet policy.
The college student has a flair for philanthropy. In 2019, Zahara and Angelina met with Ethiopia’s first female president, Sahle-Work Zewde, to discuss the country’s culture and history, education, and treating drug-resistant tuberculosis.
That same year, Zahara launched her Zahara Collection jewelry line in collaboration with jeweler Robert Procop. All proceeds from the collection benefited House of Ruth Shelters, a Los Angeles-based organization providing transitional housing for battered women and children.
Zahara was adopted by Angelina in 2005 when she was 6 months old from an orphanage in Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa. Brad formally adopted her the following year.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
Shiloh has a passion for dance and spends her freetime practicing at Millennium Dance Complex, an elite dance studio in Los Angeles.
She loves the arts and seems to also be interested in theater. Shiloh and Angelina were photographed meeting with Paul Mescal in London in February 2023 during his run as Stanley in A Streetcar Named Desire at the Almeida Theatre.
Shiloh is Brad and Angelina’s oldest biological child. The actress gave birth on May 27, 2006, in Swakopmund, Namibia.
Pax Jolie-Pitt
Pax keeps much of his personal life out of the spotlight, but he’s worked quite a bit in Hollywood. He served as set photographer on his mom’s film First They Killed My Father, where Maddox also worked behind the scenes.
The brothers worked together again on Without Blood, a film directed by Angelina. The two worked in the assistant director department, which serves as a liaison between the film’s director and other departments.
Pax was adopted by Angelina at age 3 from Vietnam in 2007. He was formally adopted by Brad in 2008.
Knox Jolie-Pitt
Knox has almost completely stayed out of the public eye, and with the exception of a few rare red carpets with his mother, it seems that’s how he’ll continue to live out his teen years.
Knox and his twin sister, Vivienne, are Brad and Angelina’s biological children. They were born on July 12, 2008, in Nice, France.
Vivienne Jolie-Pitt
As a young teen, Vivienne also keeps her distance from public fodder, but it seems she may be following in her famous parents’ footsteps. In April 2024, Jolie said her “artist” daughter was the one who got her into the production of The Outsiders.
At the musical’s premiere, Angelina said Vivienne is “hands down” the biggest theater fan in the family.
