In 2011, Jolie started work on an Ethiopian facility to be named after her daughter for children who have been diagnosed with HIV or tuberculosis.
In 2019, Zahara launched a jewellery line, Zahara Collection, in collaboration with jeweller Robert Procop.
Jolie revealed in a March 2020 Time essay for International Women’s Day that she “spent the last two months in and out of surgeries with my eldest daughter”, referring to Zahara, but did not disclose the “medical challenges” her daughter was facing. A source told ET that month that Pitt had skipped that year’s Baftas to be with Zahara during her recovery.In October 2021, Zahara wore her mother’s 2014 Oscars dress to the world premiere of Marvel’s Eternals. At the time, Jolie told Entertainment Tonight that all five kids who attended the event upcycled some of the stars’ old belongings.

Zahara started classes at Spelman College in Atlanta in autumn 2022. The following year, she joined Spelman’s Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. In a video posted by Essence, she referred to herself as Zahara Marley Jolie, but it’s unclear if she legally changed her name.
3. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, 18
Pitt and Jolie’s first biological daughter, Shiloh, was born in May 2006. People paid a reported US$4 million for the exclusive US rights to run the first photos of her.
When young, Shiloh preferred dressing in masculine clothes – fedoras and sometimes ties. In 2008, Pitt explained to Oprah how then-two-year-old Shiloh would ask to be called John.
As she got older, Shiloh debuted a new look with longer hair, which she often wears up when attending events with her family.
Shiloh may have ditched suits for the time being, but often opts for fun and comfortable shoes over heels on red carpets.
On her 18th birthday on May 27, Shiloh filed to legally change her name to Shiloh Jolie, TMZ and People reported.
As for Pitt’s response, a source told People: “He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name. He’s never felt more joy than when she was born. He always wanted a daughter.”
“The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad,” the source added.
4. Pax Jolie-Pitt, 20
Jolie’s second oldest son, Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt, was adopted in 2007 from Vietnam when he was three years old. His name means peaceful sky in Latin and Vietnamese, respectively. Pitt adopted Pax a year later in 2008.
Like some of his siblings, he also had a small role in one of his parents’ films: a small uncredited role in Jolie’s Maleficent. Pax also recorded some animal noises for pandas in Kung Fu Panda 3 along with his siblings Zahara, Shiloh and Knox. Pax was reportedly helping Jolie with her Netflix film by taking still photos on set.
Jolie revealed during a 2016 appearance on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour that Pax has an interest in music and DJing.
In 2021, Pax graduated from a Los Angeles high school. He reportedly skipped his graduation, not wanting to draw attention at the event.

Fraternal twins Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline were born on July 12, 2008. Knox is the middle name of Pitt’s grandfather while Leon is the name of Jolie’s great-great-grandfather. Marcheline is the name of Jolie’s mother.
Vivienne played a pint-sized version of Princess Aurora in Maleficent alongside her mum, a role for which she reportedly earned US$3,000 per week. Knox, meanwhile, recorded animal noises for Kung Fu Panda 3, in which Jolie voiced Tigress.
The twins modelled in Vogue alongside their siblings and parents for the magazine’s November 2015 issue.
And Knox may have a future in design. For Mother’s Day in 2014, Knox had one of his Maleficent drawings turned into a gold ring. Vivienne, meanwhile, practices karate.
Knox and Vivienne spend a lot of time with their mum, whether accompanying her to the grocery store, heading to a musical, or going to theme park outings. Five of the Jolie-Pitt clan joined their mother at the premieres of her 2021 Marvel movie, Eternals.
Most recently, Vivienne and Jolie attended the red carpet premiere of the Broadway show The Outsiders, which the actor produced. Vivienne is listed as “Vivienne Jolie” in Playbill, but it’s unclear if she legally changed her name.ncG1vNJzZmivp6x7tK%2FMqWWcp51kuqKzwLOgp52jZMC1xcueZp6mpJq%2Fta3Ip6SepqRkrrPAyJyjnmdjZ4N2gZhxZrCgkal6qa3VnmSappeauaq6wGahqKSZmsBugoycn6KklKeyr3nBnpynZZGitqV5x56pZpulqMGwsNhmmZqspKGybq7RmptmqJmpwQ%3D%3D
