Every movement, word, and appearance of a star in public is covered by tabloids and accompanied by flashes of photographs and television cameras. Events in Jolie's personal life and career have been in the constant top news since the late 90s.
Childhood and youth
Angelina Jolie Voight was born on June 4, 1975 in Los Angeles into an acting family. From her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, Angie has French-Canadian, Dutch, German and Iroquoian blood. Thanks to father Jon Voight, German-Slovak blood entered the veins of the star.
Angelina is the second child in the family: at the time of her birth, her parents were raising a two-year-old son, James Haven. The godgirls are French film star Jacqueline Bisset and Oscar-winning American actor Maximilian Schell.
The list of these facts ends the pleasant parts of Angelina Jolie’s childhood biography. A year after the birth of the baby, the parents separated: the reason was the constant infidelities of the father, whose acting career took off (a year after leaving his wife, Voight was awarded an Oscar for his work in the film “Coming Home”).
Marcheline moved to New York with two small children and put an end to her career: all her time was spent raising children. But the failed actress passed on her love of cinema and ambitious dreams to her son and daughter.
The family returned to Los Angeles when Angie was 11 years old. For two years, Angelina Jolie Voice studied at Lee Strasberg's film school, but the studies did not bring confidence and looseness to the too thin and lanky girl. Angelina hated her reflection in the mirror; second-hand clothes added to her complexes. An unsuccessful attempt to become a model aggravated the depression. The developing depression led to mental disorders: the girl cut herself with knives that she collected and dressed in black.
At the age of 14, Angie lost her virginity. She lived with her boyfriend for two years, but broke up at 16. Problems and failures were “muffled” by drugs and alcohol.
Later, the star frankly admitted in an interview with The Daily Mirror that before the age of 20 she tried all kinds of drugs, and only a miracle saved her from death in adolescence.
The mental health problems of the future Hollywood star were aggravated by her dislike for her father. Looking ahead, the attempt to make peace with dad, which Angelina Jolie made while starring with him in the film “Lara Croft - Tomb Raider,” failed. The daughter finally quarreled with her father and cut off “Voight” from the name. John did not remain in debt: the actor said that Angie has “serious mental problems.”
At the age of 14, Angelina Jolie appeared on the catwalk and starred in video clips for Lenny Kravitz and the Rolling Stones. At 16 she entered the theater stage.
Angelina called her mother and brother close people. James Haven turned out to be so close to his sister that in 2000 the star had to publicly deny rumors of an incestuous relationship with his brother.

The author of the perfume is perfumer Thierry Wasser. The fragrance, promoted by the star, combines notes of Provençal lavender, Indian jasmine, white Australian sandalwood and Tahitian vanilla.

At the beginning of 2017, the tabloids wrote about Jolie’s romantic encounters with her former lover Jared Leto. Paparazzi photographed the couple having dinner at the Chateau Marmont hotel. Insiders claim that there was “chemistry” in the couple’s relationship for many years. The first person to find out about Angie's divorce from Pitt was Jared. According to other insider information, the renewed romance with Leto is fake.
: Their youngest children, daughter Vivienne Marcheline and son Knox Leon, are seven years old. Brother and sister were born in Nice, and instantly became celebrities. Their first photographs were sold to People magazine for a record amount of $14 million (the entire amount, by the way, was donated to charity). Needless to say, the entire edition was sold out! Proud dad Brad Pitt shares: "Knox is a real boy, and Vivienne has the character of her mother." Moreover, at only seven years old, Viv can already boast of experience working on a film set: in the hit movie Maleficent, in which her mother played the main role, the girl played Princess Aurora in her childhood.
ELLE wishes Viv and Knox a happy birthday and takes this opportunity to remember other famous twins born into star families.
Maximilian David and Emma Maribel were born on February 22, 2008 to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony.

After their divorce in 2011, Lopez and Anthony agreed on joint custody of the children: he now spends the same amount of time with both parents.
Daughters Marion and Tabitha were born to Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband Matthew Broderick through the services of a surrogate mother in June 2009. Like their mother, the girls are growing up to be real fashionistas: looking at the outfits that the sisters wear to school, you involuntarily remember the most striking images of the series “Sex and the City”!
“Artem and Marta are my two friends, two allies,” admits the mother of a five-year-old son and daughter and part-time leader of the rock group “Night Snipers” Diana Arbenina. It probably won’t be an exaggeration to say that the twins are smart beyond their years: they happily go with their mother to robotics exhibitions and museums of fine arts, to symphony music concerts and performances at the Sovremennik Theater, they can already read and, of course, know by heart all my mother's songs.
Pop singer Ricky Martin became the happy father of twins Matteo and Valentino in the summer of 2008: his sons were born to him by a surrogate mother. The Puerto Rican singer copes well with the role of dad: he admits that since his sons appeared in his life, they have not spent a day apart. The boys and Martin are always together: on the playground, on tour, even during concerts, they watch their father’s performances behind the stage. It's no surprise that Matteo and Valentino are growing up very musical, and already know how to play several instruments.
On September 18, twins Harry and Lisa - the son and daughter of Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin - will turn two years old. The birth of the babies became a real sensation: the news of the sudden addition to the Diva’s family caused a strong reaction from the media and fans. “If someone comes to me on business, Garik sits down at the table and listens with an intelligent look. And Lisa is all in tchotchkes, give her beads and she will try them on. Girl!" – shares the happy mother.

Children of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Maddox Jolie-Pitt
Angelina and her ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton adopted their oldest son, Maddox Siobhan, in 2002. The couple adopted Maddox after finding him in an orphanage in Cambodia, but the adoption process was lengthy due to U.S. law.
Maddox, now 16, reportedly wants to follow in his parents' footsteps and work in the film industry.
In Angelina's 2015 film By the Sea, the talented teenager worked on scenes as an assistant producer.
He also contributed to Angelina Jolie's latest film, First They Killed My Father.
After filing for divorce, Brad was accused of using physical force against Maddox during an argument on an airplane.
Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt
Three years after Maddox appeared in the family, Angelina adopted a 6-year-old orphan from Ethiopia, Zahara Marley.
Although Zahara often rewards photographers with her killer look, her mother said that the girl is, in fact, very feminine and caring.
In 2007, it turned out that Zakhara’s biological mother was alive and would like to see her.
Just like her older brother, she loves the world of cinema. Thus, the 12-year-old girl voiced one of the minor characters in the film “Kung Fu Panda 3.”
Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt
In 2006, Angelina gave birth to her first biological child with Brad Pitt. After this event, which happened in Namibia, photographs of Shiloh were scattered across famous magazines, thanks to which the couple earned more than $7 million.
The actress, known for her humanitarian work, donated money to the UN Children's Fund UNICEF.
It is known that 11-year-old Shiloh, who was born a girl, considers herself “one of the brothers” and asked her parents to be considered a boy and called John.
Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt
The former couple, also known as "Brangelina", also decided to adopt Pax Thien's other child in 2007.
After Angelina took on the role of mother to a Vietnamese orphan, Brad later also adopted the boy when the couple returned to the US.
Although Pax, now 13, was adopted when he was just 3, he reportedly had trouble adapting to celebrity life and tried to avoid the paparazzi at all costs.
Twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt
A few months after adopting Pax, Brad and Angelina announced they were expecting twins during the Kung Fu Panda 3 premiere.
In 2008, Knox and Vivienne were born, later appearing on the cover of Hello! magazine.
As in the previous case, Angelina decided to donate the $14 million she earned from the photographs to charity, this time to the Jolie-Pitt organization.
As you know, 9-year-old twins have little to do with show business.
Despite this, Vivienne played a small role in the film "Malificent" along with her mother.

For the second year now, it has remained one of the hottest topics for discussion in the media and social networks. The stumbling block was not so much the expensive mansions and other property acquired by the spouses during marriage, but the custody of six children.
The fight for children appears to continue. According to insiders, Pitt does not intend to give up and does not allow Jolie to take the children abroad, and also does not allow the kids to take part in filming.
We, in turn, are not going to figure out who is right and who is wrong. We invite you to see how the star offspring have grown over all this time.
1. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, 12 years old
Jolie and Pitt's first biological daughter was born on May 27, 2006, a year after the premiere of the film Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
A few years ago, when the older Shiloh began to appear in public more often, fans of the couple noticed an interesting feature: the baby dresses like a boy. The family, known for its progressive views on education, became very worried when the girl announced her decision to change her sex in the future. Angelina and Brad turned to a psychologist, but, according to the specialist, it’s too early to worry, we need to wait until Shiloh grows up a little more.
According to insider information,
More than once she expressed her desire to move in with her father. 
2. Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt, 10 years old and 6. Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt, 10 years old
On July 12, 2008, Angelina Jolie gave birth to Pitt's twins, Vivienne and Knox. The first photos of newborns were sold to Hello! for a record $14 million, most of which the couple spent on charity. In 2014, Vivien and Knox starred with their mother in the fairy tale “Maleficent”; their father forbade them from filming in the second part.
3. Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 17 years old
Maddox Sivan from Cambodia became Jolie's first adopted child. At first, the actress raised the boy with her second husband, actor Billy Bob Thornton. However, a year after the adoption, the couple divorced, and Jolie received sole custody.
In 2005, Pitt adopted Maddox. Today the guy became seriously interested in cinema and even helped his mother during the filming of the drama “First They Killed My Father: Memoirs of a Daughter of Cambodia” about the bloody Khmer regime.
If you believe the rumors, it was the quarrel between Brad and Maddox that was filmed on camera that became the root cause of the star spouses’ divorce. The actress called Brad a terrible father.
4. Pax Tien Jolie-Pitt, 15 years old
Adopted in 2007, Pax Thien from Vietnam is in many ways similar to his half-brother Maddox: the boy also dreams of working in films. By the way, he was lucky enough to play in “Maleficent” with his mother. Pax, like Shiloh, stated his desire to move in with his father.
5. Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 13 years old
The couple adopted baby Zahara from Ethiopia 13 years ago. The girl’s parents allegedly died of AIDS (so the actors were told). However, two years later it turned out that Zakhara’s mother was alive and demanded the return of her daughter. Jolie refused to comment on the current situation, the conflict was resolved, and the baby still remained in the foster family.
During this time, the girl, like her brothers and sisters, starred in Maleficent and even took part in the voice acting of Kung Fu Panda 3.
It seems like just yesterday we were moved by the chubby babies in the arms of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. . But life does not stand still, feelings fade and at some point people decide to break up. Unfortunately, children often become hostages of conflict.
We wish that Angelina and Brad have the wisdom to find a compromise and that their children grow up happy, regardless of whether their parents are together or not.

The famous celebrity couple Brangelina, long considered the embodiment of true love, a happy family and simply a union of amazingly beautiful and talented people, is going through difficult times.
Just recently it became known that their ten-year-old dark-skinned daughter Zahara (born January 8, 2005) wants to return to Ethiopia to her mother. Let us recall that Brad and Angelina adopted a baby at the age of six months; when preparing the documents, it was stipulated that the girl’s mother, Menteuab Dawit, died of AIDS.
But now it turns out that the information about the mother’s death is erroneous and Menteuab is indignant that Jolie took Zahara away and is looking forward to her daughter’s return. What happened to young Zakhara and why did the girl, who was raised by a celebrity couple from infancy, suddenly decide to abandon her large family and comfortable life?
At the moment, there is no clear answer to this question: perhaps Zahara lacks attention, perhaps she is jealous of her adoptive parents for their biological children, or perhaps the secret lies even deeper.

What is known for certain is that because of what is happening, Jolie is on edge and often quarrels with her husband. Obviously, such a serious problem, coupled with the planned addition to the family (at the beginning of the year, the couple announced their intention to adopt a two-year-old boy, Moussa, from a Turkish refugee camp) is a serious test for the couple.
But it turns out that the children have already complained about their famous mother more than once, and the fact that some of them want to leave Angelina Jolie is not news to those around the star. Everything is clear with Zakhara - the blood of her ancestors is calling her to her homeland. Now let's figure out what the parents of the remaining five children of the family are not happy with: Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.
Maddox Siobhan Jolie-Pitt – young and in love

The eldest son of Jolie and Pitt Maddox Sivan (born 08/05/2001) is preparing to celebrate his 14th birthday. 13 years in the family of star parents flew by happily and unnoticed; a young man originally from Cambodia turned into an attractive young man and already managed to start an affair.
His young flame is from England, and Angelina Jolie calls her cool. One can only guess how the relationship between the young lovers develops, but Angie does everything to ensure that the family, or at least the eldest son, visits England more often. Most recently, Angelina visited Cambodia, where filming of her directorial work “First They Killed My Father – Memoirs of a Cambodian Daughter” will soon begin.
The actress has high hopes for the film, because with its help she wants to improve Maddox’s relationship with his homeland. According to his mother’s plan, the boy will spend all his free time after school on the set. However, on Jolie’s part this was obviously a forced step...
Why does Maddox Siobhan want to leave Angelina Jolie? Last year, a source close to the Jolie-Pitt family claimed that Angie and Brad were very concerned. That their boy wanted to leave them. He constantly talked about traveling to Cambodia and spent hours surfing the Internet, trying to find his real relatives.

Pitt and Jolie adopted a three-year-old baby named Pham Quanh (born November 29, 2003) from South Vietnam in the spring of 2007. When completing the paperwork, the baby received not only loving parents and an older brother, but also a new name – Pax, which means “peace” in Latin.
Today Pax is already 11 years old, he is growing into a stylish and very attractive young man, teenage girls on forums actively discuss his appearance and write compliments. But, as it turned out, the boy is not only handsome, but also talented. He is a born cook who constantly pampers his family with delicious dishes.
Angelina admitted in an interview that she is a terrible cook. That is why the responsibility of the family cook fell on Pax's shoulders. It was the young man who created the wedding cake at his parents’ wedding, which took place in September last year). Perhaps, as an adult, he will surprise the world with his own cooking show, recipe book, or signature restaurant.
Why does Pax Thien want to leave Angelina Jolie? The actress brought her middle son home only in 2001, that is, four years after she adopted her. During the flight from Vietnam, the boy looked extremely sad and clearly did not want to leave the country.
But, in fact, this was the only case when the boy did not want to stay with his star mother. Overall, he is an exemplary son and loves his family very much.

Nine-year-old and very similar to her mother, Shiloh (born May 27, 2006) was a tomboy from an early age, loved to play around, kick a ball, and preferred a boyish style of clothing. When Shai turned three, she told her parents that she wanted to be a boy and asked to call her John.
Jolie obediently cut her hair and supported her daughter’s rather strange request, but Brad Pitt’s mother sounded the alarm. Jane's grandmother constantly gives her granddaughter dresses and other things for the girl, fearing that Shiloh might turn out to be a transsexual.
Angie and Brad believe that nothing terrible is happening and their daughter’s whim is dictated by the rebellious spirit and love of all children for gender games. The media actively circulated the version that in this way Shiloh, as the first biological child of stars, is trying to attract the attention of parents and overcome jealousy towards adopted children.
The Jolie-Pitt couple refutes this version and continues to be loyal to their daughter’s antics. By the way, at the age of ten months, Shiloh played with her father in the film “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” and a year later she was declared the most influential child under five, according to Forbes.
At the premiere of the film “Unbroken” a year ago, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt appeared on the red carpet, dressed in a strict men's suit, like the entire male half of her family. It cannot be denied that the image suited the girl perfectly, but the choice of orientation and gender will apparently have to wait a few more years.

Why does Shiloh Jolie-Pitt want to leave Angelina Jolie? In 2007, Angelina Jolie honestly admitted to reporters that she loved her adopted children more than Shiloh Nouvel (Knox and Vivienne were not yet born). This was repeatedly confirmed by Brad Pitt’s mother, who scolded her daughter-in-law for not being involved with Shiloh at all, and because of the attention deficit on the part of the actress, she prefers to spend as much time as possible with her grandmother.
In addition, the girl grows up withdrawn and has repeatedly admitted to Jane that she does not feel love from her mother.

Knox and Vivienne (born July 12, 2008) are twins and the younger biological children of Angie and Brad. As soon as they were born, the babies managed to earn $14 million by appearing on the cover of two glossy magazines: People and Hello!.
At the age of four, Vivien began her acting career under the auspices of her Oscar-winning mother, with whom she starred in the film Maleficent. Angelina turned into a powerful sorceress on screen, and little Vivienne played Princess Aurora, who was subsequently bewitched by Maleficent.
In everyday life, Vivienne also loves to feel like a princess: she wears bright dresses and sundresses, as well as shoes of all colors and shades. As for Knox, he grows up as a reserved boy, likes to wear long hair and does not strive for publicity.
Today, seven-year-old Jolie-Pitt is considered one of the most beautiful children in Hollywood. And yes, Knox and Vivien seem to be quite happy with their star mother and so far see no reason to leave her.
Fortunately for the couple and for Moussa, everything turned out well and in February the media reported that Jolie-Pitt’s youngest child was going to his parents, but already in April an official representative of the family denied information about the adoption. Whether Moussa will be lucky in joining an international family or whether a child from Kenya will become the new Jolie-Pitt (a rumor about the adoption of an African child spread this spring), time will tell.
But if you remember the prophecies of Hollywood psychic Ron Bard, Angie and Brad will have to become parents twice more. Let us remind you that they themselves planned to give birth to more children - especially for this, before the operation to remove the ovaries, Jolie froze her eggs.
