Angelina Jolie’s Six Kids: Which Ones Are Following Her to Hollywood?

At the same time, it seems their mother may also be starting a modern chapter. In 2024, Jolie said that she planned to leave Los Angeles once her children were grown: “I grew up in this town. I am here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they’re 18, I’ll be able to leave.” Her divorce from Brad Pitt was a notoriously knotty one, and it was settled in slow 2024 following eight years of legal wrangling. Now it seems Jolie is set to make good on her promise: In May 2026, she listed her longtime Los Feliz home—formerly owned by director Cecil B. DeMille, and once the site of a Vanity Fair cover interview—for $29.85 million.

In 2017, Jolie said that she already had a vision for what her life would look like in 2027. “I imagine I will spend my days traveling from country to country to visit our children, who I expect will live around the world,” she told a journalist from Hello!. “I think some will be interested in the international work I do, and I would love to partner with them as I continue.” Now that Jolie is uprooting herself from the family home, let’s take a look at what her kids are up to—and see how closely her predictions match real life.

Maddox Chivan Jolie (born August 5, 2001)

Adopted from Cambodia in 2002 when his mother was 26, Maddox was the first Jolie child to become an influencer, due to his unforgettable baby mohawk. Jolie and Maddox worked on First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers, their first film together, when Maddox was still 14. “Many eyes were on Maddox, who is as famous in Cambodia as Jolie,” wrote Vanity Fair’s Evgenia Peretz in 2017. “Credited on the film as an executive producer, Maddox read draft after draft, giving comments.”

More recently, Maddox served as an assistant director on Couture, a 2025 film written and directed by Alice Winocour starring Jolie as an American who is diagnosed with cancer during a trip to Paris Fashion Week. After Angelina Jolie and Pitt started dating in 2005, Maddox’s legal name was changed to “Maddox Jolie-Pitt” and Pitt adopted him—but he appeared in the credits for Couture as “Maddox Jolie.” In May 2026, he made headlines when he filed to legally drop “Pitt” from his name.
