Angelina Jolie turned 50 on 4 June, her five children reportedly planning with a small gathering at their California home, with her one gift request to plan a family holiday to their 7.5hectare wildlife reserve in Cambodia \u2013 the place Jolie has considered home since filming Tomb Raider there in 2000. In other Brangelina brood news, Shiloh, 19, reportedly now goes by Shi Joli. The 19-year-old was featured on a press release for Net-A-Porter\u2019s new collection with Isabel Marant, the launch for which Shi choreographed a performance by musician Luella. Jolie has been helping her children forge careers in production, Shi now focused on choreography while Pax is keen on photography and Maddox, 23, filmmaking. Zahara, 20, is heading into her final year of Spelman College while twins Knox and Vivienne, 16, are still in school. Career-wise, after a disappointing lack of awards recognition for her Maria Callas biopic, Jolie\u2019s attention now turns to promoting her upcoming fashion drama film, <Couture> (formerly titled <Stitches>), which saw her filming scenes during Paris Fashion Week. Expected in cinemas this October, she stars an American film-maker who crosses paths with a South Sudanese model and French make-up artist, their stories intertwining to \u2018examine the souls and wounds of women\u2019s bodies\u2019, according to the film\u2019s director, Alice Winocour. Jolie\u2019s philanthropy defines the legacy she\u2019s created in her 50 years. Her dedication in fighting for the rights of women and children \u2013 particularly as an ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency \u2013 has left a mark that many would argue extends far beyond her Hollywood footprint. That said, her wardrobe in Mr & Mrs Smith \u2013 which turns 20 this month(!) \u2013 will go down in our aspirational fashion history books too. Here\u2019s to the next 50, Ang! With a new film \u2013 and the possibility of new love \u2013 Jolie\u2019s new decade is off to a good start.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Photos: <\/b>Angelina Jolie\/Jolie and Brad Pitt at Mr & Mrs Smith premiere\/Jolie and her mother Marcheline Bertrand (L) with British actress Jacqueline Bisset (R).

A marked difference from the extravagant, A-list filled birthday parties hosted by her peers (Beckhams, we\u2019re looking at you), Jolie\u2019s attitude to milestone birthdays is seemingly as lowkey as her off-screen life. In fact, she\u2019s having a problem most single mothers of young adults can relate to: tearaway teens and tiresome ex-husband antics.

Her second eldest with ex-husband Brad Pitt, Pax, recently turned 21 and was captured on camera stumbling out of Los Angeles celebrity hotspot Chateau Marmont before heading to a strip club. Much ado was made of his inability to stand, to which we say\u2026 huh? God forbid paparazzi were waiting outside Wetherspoons at closing time during our university days.\u00a0

Pitt is reportedly concerned about his sons behaviour, although his recent comment on the culmination of his eight-year-long divorce from Jolie suggests a laissez faire attitude. \u2018I don\u2019t think it was that major of a thing,\u2019 he told GQ when asked if he was relieved the legal fight was over. Jolie on the other hand, was very happy. \u2018Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over,\u2019 her lawyer said in a statement.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]‘Angelina is exhausted.’<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

Another milestone was reached for Brangelina on 10 June \u2013 20 years since the release of Mr & Mrs Smith, the film where she infamously met and fell for Pitt. The resulting marriage and eight-year-long divorce is now firmly in her rear-view mirror. In fact, she is now rumoured to be back on the dating scene, with a source telling Grazia she\u2019s enjoying private dates out of the spotlight. \u2018The kids are all so grown up and doing their own thing, so her love life is something she can actually make time for now,\u2019 the insider said. \u2018She\u2019s hyper aware that anyone she dates is going to be put under a microscope so she\u2019s purposely kept things very, very private.\u2019

While Pitt, 61, has been in a relationship with actor Ines de Ramon, 32, since 2022, Jolie has largely remained single for the last eight years, having been linked briefly to The Weeknd in 2021 and rapper-turned-activist Akala in 2024, although she has never publicly confirmed any relationships.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/GettyImages-74722630.jpg” alt=”Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt” title_text=”%22Mr. And Mrs. Smith%22 Los Angeles Premiere – Red Carpet” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

So what of her feelings heading into her sixth decade? \u2018I feel that I\u2019m gonna hit my stride in my 50s,\u2019 Jolie said in an interview. \u2018I like being older, I feel much more comfortable\u2026 maybe because my mom didn\u2019t live very long, so there\u2019s something about age that feels like a victory instead of a sadness for me.\u2019

Jolie\u2019s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died in 2007 at age 56 from ovarian and breast cancer. It was a loss that sparked Jolie\u2019s highly publicised campaigning efforts around cancer, after she found out she was genetically more at risk of the illness and underwent a preventative double mastectomy and hysterectomy.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/GettyImages-2251881.jpg” alt=”Angelina Jolie and her mother” title_text=”Original Sin premiere” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
