Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were the ultimate power couple. They were both huge movie stars, seemed really in love, and had six Jolie-Pitts running around the house. All in, the couple share three biological children and three adopted children, all of whom have shown up at red carpet events and in the news over the years.
They split in 2016 after two years of marriage and 12 years together—but, of course, they've been busy co-parenting the kiddos together.
While their marriage ended more than six years ago, the couple's messy divorce continues to make headlines, with Brad suing Angelina over disagreements surrounding their shared vineyard in France, according to a lawsuit, per Fortune.
Both parties have been fairly quiet about the exact reason for the divorce. However, a new cross-complaint from Angelina states that Brad got physically and emotionally abusive towards herself and their children while on an overnight flight from Los Angeles to France just days before the divorce made headlines, per The Washington Post. At this time, it's unclear which kids were on the flight at the time, and who was involved.
But what are the kids up to these days? A lot has happened since 2016, and they're all growing up fast. Here’s a full breakdown.
What do the court allegations say?
Angelina's new allegations claim that on a flight from Los Angeles to France, Brad was intoxicated and got physically aggressive with her, resulting in elbow and back injuries. Additionally, Angelina's complaint claims Brad choked one of their children, struck another in the face, and poured beer and red wine on them, per The Washington Post. It's unclear which children were involved.
The complaint then states that Brad prevented Angelina and the kids from leaving the plane for 20 minutes after landing, and again physically harmed Angelina and one of the children after they exited, according to the Post.
That day, “Jolie’s marriage came to an end," the complaint said, per the Post. She filed for divorce five days later.
One of Brad's representatives responded to the allegations, telling CNN that Angelina's “story continues to evolve each time she tells it with new, unsubstantiated claims. Brad has accepted responsibility for what he did but will not for things he didn’t do. These new allegations are completely untrue.”
Maddox
Angelina adopted Maddox, now 21, back in 2002. Maddox is currently in college in South Korea, studying biochemistry, per ET, and posed for British Vogue in 2021 with his mom while she gave him a haircut. His large dragon tattoo is clearly visible on his torso in the pic.
Pax
Pax is now 18, and he was adopted by Angelina in 2007 from Vietnam when he was three, per Life & Style. He’s not in the public eye much, but Angelina shared with British Vogue that he was “going into his senior year” last year “but not being able to enjoy all that it is to be a senior” during the height of the pandemic.
According to The Sun, Pax is “shy” and skipped his high school graduation ceremony to avoid the attention.
Zahara
Zahara, now 17, was adopted by Angelina from Ethiopia in 2005, per the Los Angeles Times. She was later adopted by Brad, too. As she's grown up, Zahara has accompanied her mom on activism trips to Washington.
Her biggest news (as of late) is that she’s headed to Spelman College, a Historically Black College—which Angelina just announced on Instagram.
“Zahara with her Spelman sisters!” Angelina wrote on Instagram. “Congratulations to all new students starting this year. A very special place and an honor to have a family member as a new Spelman girl.”
Shiloh
Shiloh is Brad and Angelina’s first biological child, and she’s now 16. And she is somehow a doppelgänger of both Brad and Angelina.
Shiloh is currently hanging in Rome with her mom, according to Hollywood Life, and has had a few appearances in his parents’ movies over the years.
Shiloh played the younger version of Caroline in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and was the voice of Shuai Shua in Kung Fu Panda 3, according to IMDB. She also recently appeared in Doja Cat’s “Vegas” music video.
Vivienne
Vivienne is Brad and Angelina’s second biological daughter—she’s now 14. She appeared as young Aurora in her mom’s 2014 movie, Maleficent, according to IMDB.
Angelina told Entertainment Weekly that Vivienne was chosen for the role because “the other three- and four-year-old [actors] wouldn’t come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn’t afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv."
Knox
Knox is Vivienne’s twin and the only biological son of Brad and Angelina. He’s also 14. He’s shown up at red carpet events here and there, and most recently went to the premiere of Eternals with his mom. He also apparently takes martial arts classes.
