How many children do Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have and how old are they?
ALTHOUGH Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ended their relationship in 2017 after 12 years together and two years of marriage, they will always be the parents to their six kids.
Here's everything you need to know about their children.
Who are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's children?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have six kids: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox.
Maddox, Zahara, and Pax were adopted from orphanages in Cambodia, Ethiopia, and Vietnam respectively.
The remaining three are their biological children.
Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt
Angelina and her ex-husband adopted her oldest child, Maddox Chivan in 2002.
Maddox was born on August 5, 2001, and was found in a Cambodian orphanage.
The adoption process took a while due to US government legislation.
In Angelina’s 2015 film, By the Sea, the talented teen worked behind the scenes as a production assistant.
The young film buff also contributed to Ange’s Netflix show, First They Killed My Father: A Daughter Of Cambodia Remembers.
In 2019, Maddox enrolled in South Korea's Yonsei University, which Jolie said she "could not be happier about."
While he was forced to take classes remotely during the pandemic, he was eventually able to return to campus where he is studying biochemistry and working on learning the Korean language.
The name Maddox derives from the Welsh word "mad" which means fortunate.
Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt
Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt was born on Jan. 8, 2005 in Hawassa, Ethiopia and was adopted by Jolie when she was seven months old.
Jolie initially visited Zahara's orphanage with Maddox after he had taken an interest in travelling to Africa.
Just like her older brother, Zahara has enjoyed her film connections.
The young girl contributed to Kung Fu Panda 3, providing the voice for one of the minor characters.
In July 2022, Jolie announced on Instagram that Zahara is planning on attending Spelman College in the fall.
"Zahara with her Spelman sisters!" Jolie captioned a photo of Zahara smiling with her classmates. "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."
The name Zahara is a derivative of the name Zahra - shining flower.

Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt
On May 27, 2006, Angelina gave birth to her and Brad’s first biological child in Namibia.
After the event, pictures of Shiloh were splashed across People and magazine, in deals which earned Ange over £5.3million.

In 2015, a report from suggested that Shiloh - who was born a girl - had asked her parents to be identified as male, and wants to be called John.

Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt
Former power couple Brangelina decided to adopt another child, Pax Thien, in 2007.
After Jolie took on the role of mother for the orphan from Vietnam, Brad later applied to be Pax’s dad when the pair returned to the US.
The family decided to name their child after two Vietnamese words, which translate as “peaceful sky”.
Even though Pax was adopted when he was just three years old, reports suggest that he has struggled to cope with the life of fame, regularly avoiding the paparazzi.
And while he keeps much of his personal life out of the spotlight, he did make a small appearance in Jolie's 2016 film Kung Fu Panda 3, voicing the character Yoo.
Twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt
Just months after adopting Pax, Brad and Ange revealed during the premiere of Kung Fu Panda 3, that they were expecting twins.
On July 12, 2008, Knox and Vivienne were born, and featured on the front cover on Hello! magazine.
Like her previous deal, Angelina decided to donate her $10m media earnings to charity, this time to the Jolie-Pitt foundation.
Wanting to keep the twins’ names close to Jolie family tradition, Vivienne’s middle name was a tribute to Ange’s mum Marcheline, while Knox shared his second name with her great-great-grandfather.
The twins tend to keep out of the spotlight but have dipped their toes in some on-screen roles.
Knox did voice the character of Ku Ku in Kung Fu Panda 3, while Viviieene appeared in Maleficent portraying the younger version of Elle Fanning's character Aurora
