Angelina Jolie, 49, made a stunning appearance at the Governors Awards on November 17, accompanied by her 16-year-old son, Knox, in a rare public outing. Jolie wore a cream-and-gold floor-length gown, while Knox looked sharp in a black suit paired with a matching bow tie. Notably, Knox now stands taller than his mother, surprising many fans.
The Jolie-Pitt Family: Private and Low-Key
Jolie is the mother of six children with ex-husband Brad Pitt: Maddox (23), Pax (20), Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and twins Knox and Vivienne (16). Despite having world-famous parents, the Jolie-Pitt children tend to live a very private life and rarely attend public events.
In a recent interview, Angelina Jolie revealed that she doesn’t expect her children to follow in her or Pitt’s footsteps in the entertainment industry. “I think they are quite shy and really value their privacy,” she shared.
Other Memorable Red Carpet Appearances
Last month, Angelina Jolie attended the New York premiere of her film Maria alongside Maddox, Pax, and Zahara. The family made a fashion statement, wearing classic looks from top designers like Madame Grès, YSL, and Dior.
Beyond her film projects, Angelina Jolie recently disclosed that she and her daughter Vivienne got matching tattoos of the phrase “Stay Gold” to commemorate their work on the Broadway musical The Outsiders. The phrase holds special meaning, referencing both a song from the play and a line from the iconic novel by S.E. Hinton.
Despite her busy career, Angelina Jolie continues to prioritize family, strengthening her bond with her children through meaningful experiences like these.
Balancing Career and Family
Though Jolie remains one of Hollywood’s busiest stars, she prioritizes her family above all else. Her upcoming film, Maria, has been generating buzz, but Angelina emphasizes that her greatest joy comes from raising her children and watching them grow into independent, compassionate individuals.
As Knox and Vivienne, the youngest of her brood, step into young adulthood, Jolie continues to celebrate their individuality and foster strong family ties. Whether through quiet family moments or glamorous public appearances, Angelina Jolie cherishes her role as a mother, ensuring her children are grounded despite their unique upbringing.
