"I could not be happier about Mad’s choice of university," Angelina said at the time. "We are all so happy, as a family, that we will have the opportunity to get to know South Korea even better through Maddox, and with him, during his studies."

Since Maddox started college in 2019, it seems like he might be graduating this year — but no word on his future plans just yet!
