There’s a pretty good chance that you haven’t been actively following the lives of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s kids, because — well, why would you?
So, it’s probably about time we reintroduce them to you.
They’re growing up and it’s making us feel very old.
At one point, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and their children were one of the most famous families on the planet.
And while we were all very familiar with Angelina and Brad, we hardly even got to see their kids.
The now-exs share six children together.
Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, and the youngest of the bunch, the twins, Knox and Vivienne.
It’s a full house, to say the least!
Although Angelina and Brad did not stand the test of time, they’ve both been very dedicated to raising their children together.
“Well, she’s a good mom I’ll tell you that,” Angelina’s dad told Closer Weekly .
“She is very loving to the kids and very much there with them, always there with them although she has a busy life,” he went on.
“She doesn’t miss any opportunity to inquire into their lives and help them every step of the way. So I’m very proud of her.”

“[The kids are] good, yes. Yes they are getting big. That’s the way it is, you know,” he added.
As for Brad — we don’t see many public sightings of him with the kids. But that doesn’t make him any less involved.
“They do simple things like cook or watch movies,” a source revealed to Us Weekly.
“He encourages them to pursue their hobbies. They love to hang out and talk. Brad talks to them about whatever is on their minds — he’s a great listener .”
Now let’s take a look at what the kids all look like now…
Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt.
Maddox is 18-years-old. Take that in.
Angelina adopted Maddox from Cambodia in 2002, when he was just seven-months-old.
Angelina was recently seen dropping him off at college.
Sources say he’s studying biochemistry at the South Korean university.
In the video, she’s seen dropping him off and like any parent sending their kids off to college, she’s trying to hold back tears.
Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt.
Zahara, who is now 14, was adopted from Ethiopia, from an orphanage in Addis Ababa when she was six months old.
Where does the time go?!
Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.
The world was absolutely floored when Angelina and Brad welcomed their first biological child into the world in 2006 .
Shiloh is arguably the most famous of the Jolie-Pitt clan.
Just like her parents, controversy seems to love Shiloh, and she’s made headlines quite a few times in her 13 years.
Shiloh also has some famous friends.
Shiloh and her sister Zahara are extremely close to Stranger Things actress Millie Bobbie Brown, and have often been photographed together.
Shiloh has also made headlines for her androgynous style.
Back in 2008, Brad Pitt had mentioned to Oprah that Shiloh only wanted to be referred to as “John.” The story was pretty light-hearted, but some people took it as a sign about Shiloh’s gender identity.
Amber Rose caused a stir when she referred to Shiloh as a “transkid.”
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Amber said, “How gorgeous is John Jolie Pitt?! Born into the perfect family for him. #TransKids #LoveurKidsNoMatterWhat#Support.”
Fans felt like it was going too far to publicly label Shiloh as transgender.
The Jolie-Pitt family have not publicly commented on Shiloh’s gender identity, and it’s up to Shiloh to determine what name or identity she wants the public to use.
As for the Jolie-Pitts, they’ve only commented on Shiloh’s more boyish style.
In an interview with Vanity Fair , Angelina once said, “She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys’ everything. She thinks she’s one of the brothers.”
Of course, Shiloh isn’t the last of the Jolie-Pitt clan.
Shiloh hasn’t been the baby of the family since 2009 — can you believe that?
Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.
Pax was the third child that Angelina and Brad adopted into their seemingly ever-expanding family.
Nowadays, he’s 15 years old and making plenty of public appearances with his mom. In fact, Angelina brought him as her date to the 2018 Golden Globes.
Nowadays, he’s 16-years-old and making plenty of public appearances with his mom. In fact, Angelina brought him as her date to the 2018 Golden Globes.
Last but certainly not least, the twins: Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt.
Knox and Vivienne are 11 years old, but I refuse to believe that!
On top of that, they’re both already following in the steps of their parents.
They’re pursuing acting careers .
Knox voiced a character in Kung Fu Panda 3 , while Vivienne played the younger version of Elle Fanning in Maleficent .
Well, there you have it. Proof that we’re all getting old AF.
