Once the power couple of Hollywood, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, seem to be laying low
for a while, but there was a time when people were just fond of their jet-setting lifestyle,
international adoptions and seemingly eternal love for each other.
But after 12 years of togetherness, Ange filed for a divorce from Brad, citing irreconcilable
differences and after a lengthy battle, the case was settled in April of 2018.
Supposedly, the big decision was prompted by an incident on a plane in September of
2016, when Pitt lost control and clashed with their 16 year old son, Maddox.
Even years after they called off their marriage, they are still making it into the spotlight
for various reasons, including the custody of their six kids.
Here are some interesting facts about the Jolie-Pitt kids.
But, before we dive in, be sure to subscribe to our channel and hit the bell icon as well.
Maddox Jolie-Pitt Angelina adopted Maddox Chivan with her second
husband, Billy Bob Thornton, in 2002 after finding him in a Cambodian orphanage.
But three months after the adoption, Ange and Billy split and she brought up Maddox
as a single parent.
Maddox reportedly aspires to follow the footsteps of his adoptive parents as he hopes to pursue
a career in Hollywood.
The talented teen worked behind the scenes as a production assistant in the 2015 film,
By the Sea, and as an executive producer in the 2017 film about Cambodian genocide, First
They Killed My Father.
Maddox, who isn’t so keen on staying in the limelight, recently spoke up that he’s
done living with his mom and wants to be with Brad.
Reports have it that the teenager came up with the decision after Angelina visited and
prayed at the grave of Pol Pot, a dictator who slaughtered 3 million Cambodians.
Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt In 2005, Ange took over custody of a six-month-old
Ethiopian girl, Zahara Marley.
Meanwhile, Ange and Brad were rumored to be dating for a short time, however, they went
together to pick up the baby girl.
In 2006, Ange filed a petition to change her kids’ surname to Jolie-Pitt.
The name Zahara comes from the word Zahra, which means shining flower.
Just like her older brother, she seems to enjoy her film connections and has voiced
one of the minor characters in Kung Fu Panda 3.
Ange has said that she hopes Zahara will connect with her homeland the way Maddox has connected
with Cambodia.
Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt Shiloh, the first biological child of Angelina
and Brad, has been in the spotlight since she was born in 2006.
The couple sold the first images of their baby to People and Hello!
magazines for an astounding 7.6 million dollars and donated the money to UNICEF.
Ange has been very open about letting Shiloh be who she wants to be.
The gorgeous girl with piercing blue eyes, a beaming smile and beautiful blonde hair
reportedly said to her parents that she wants to be identified as a boy and insisted on
being called “John.”
She has been getting quite a lot of attention due to rumors that she might be transgender.
She is also likely to follow her parent’s footsteps as she voiced a character in Kung
Fu Panda 3.
In 2017, Jolie opened a rescue center for elephants and rhinos, Shiloh Wildlife Sanctuary
in Namibia.
When her parents went separate ways, she was the only one of six children, who missed her
dad.
Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt Ange adopted Pax from an orphanage in Vietnam
as a single mom in 2007 because Vietnam doesn’t allow unmarried couples to co-adopt and she
was yet to be legally married to Brad.
As soon as they returned to the US, Brad applied to be Pax’s father.
Like every Jolie-Pitt kid, Pax also has a special meaning to his name.
In Vietnamese, Pax means Peaceful Sky.
Being a son of Hollywood’s famous duo, he has struggled to cope with the life and avoided
paparazzi.
Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt Just a few months after adopting Pax, Ange
and Brad made a big announcement during the premiere of Kung Fu Panda 3.
They were expecting twins.
This time she gave birth in France and chose the twins’ names close to Jolie family tradition.
Knox shares his middle name with his mom’s great-great-grandfather, while Vivienne got
her middle name from her maternal grandmother.
The newly born twins were featured on the cover of Hello!
magazine, and as earlier, proceeds went to charity, but this time to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
The nine-year-olds haven’t dabbled much yet in the showbiz world, but Vivienne had
a small role in the Disney film, Maleficent, where she appeared alongside her mom.
