Jolie wore a vintage bohemian gown from The Knit Vintage, while Knox suited up in a classic tuxedo to accompany his mum on her informal promotional tour for new film Maria, which debuted to Oscar buzz during its Venice Film Festival premiere in the summer.<\/p>\n Knox, now 16, hasn\u2019t been seen on a red carpet in three years. He follows sister Shiloh, 18, who similarly joined her mother on the red carpet back in April while attending the Broadway premiere for The Outsiders. What\u2019s behind the steady introduction of Brangelina\u2019s brood to public life? Well, if you can believe it, the kids are all grown up. Teen twins Knox and Vivienne are the youngest of Jolie and Brad Pitt\u2019s children, with Shiloh now 18 and Zaraha, 19, said to be thriving in college. Pax, 20, and Maddox, 23 are both out of education and embarking on their own careers.<\/p>\n While Jolie recently insisted that none of the children want to be movie stars (\u2018They\u2019re especially shy, very private people,\u2019 she told E! News), they all already have acting and producing credits on their CVs \u2013 with bit parts in Maleficent and voice acting roles in Kung Fu Panda. That\u2019s just the life of a Nepo baby, assisting on blockbusters is to them what babysitting cousins for an extra tenner was to us.<\/p>\n In fact, Jolie brings at least one or two of her children into every one of her projects, often behind the camera, with Maddox and Pax in assistant director roles on Maria while Shiloh supported production for The Outsiders. ‘They’ve done that quite a few times, and I think that’s good for them,\u2019 Jolie told The Hollywood Reporter. \u2018Pax tends to do stills and he gets brought in, and [Maria director] Pablo [Larrain] was wonderful and recognized that he was good at it.’<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/GettyImages-1178257190.jpg” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” alt=”Angelina kids” title_text=”World Premiere Of Disney’s \u201cMaleficent: Mistress Of Evil%22 – Arrivals” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] For Zahara, life is a series of college parties and sorority events now in her second year at Spelman College, Atlanta, as it should be! She joined Alpha Kappa Alpha, the historic first Black sorority, in November 2023 and was captured on camera recently gleefully performing choreography with her fellow students. It went viral on TikTok, of course \u2013 that\u2019s the part of Nepo baby life we don\u2019t envy, imagine your university nights out being documented for the world, getting low to Usher with concealer lipstick smeared and a Jagerbomb in hand? No thanks!<\/p>\n The twins are still in school and remain the last of the children to keep their fathers surname (the four eldest kids have legally dropped Pitt). That\u2019s the other side of this very Hollywood family that\u2019s less glamorous \u2013 behind closed doors the children are said to deeply unhappy with the now eight-year-long divorce that saw worrying family issues made public when Jolie accused Pitt of physically and verbally abusing her and the children in court documents \u2013 allegations he denies. The divorce proceedings stalled when Pitt disputed Jolie\u2019s sale of her shares in a vineyard they part own \u2013 a case that\u2019s now set for trial next year.<\/p>\n The stress of the court case is taking its toll on Jolie, with friends now fearing for her health and the children increasingly frustrated.<\/p>\n \u2018The kids are very protective towards their mom, Maddox and Pax especially, and it\u2019s well established at this point that they support her when it comes to this saga,\u2019 an insider told Grazia. \u2018It pains them to see how much suffering Angelina has been through and they\u2019ve made their position abundantly clear as far as which side they\u2019re ultimately on. Angelina has been very careful not to burden the kids with specifics or try to turn them against their father per say. She\u2019s adhered to all court mandates and given them every opportunity to see Brad whenever they wished to. But at this point they are all very much \u201cTeam Mom\u201d, that\u2019s just the plain reality of the situation.\u2019<\/p>\n The recent ruling will see Hollywood\u2019s longest divorce extend far into 2025, a decision that can\u2019t be making things at home any easier. \u2018Brad does still get custody visits with the twins and occasional time with Shiloh but nothing like as frequently as he would like,\u2019 the source continued. \u2018It\u2019s beyond painful for him but as long as this war rages between him and Angelina it seems this is the reality he\u2019s got to live with.\u2019<\/p>\n For Knox, a night on the red carpet with mum then seems like a deserved escape then! One can only hope the trial next year doesn\u2019t turn into a public circus that deepens family wounds.<\/p>[\/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=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”] Photo: Getty<\/b><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here’s what the kids are all up to as they come of age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":5200,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"kschwarz","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5194"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5249,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5194\/revisions\/5249"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
