Cambodian boy Maddox was adopted by Angelina Jolie when she was still the wife of actor Billy Bob Thornton in 2002. At the time of becoming Angelina’s first child, Maddox was only 7 months old. Just 4 months later, the Wanted star filed for divorce from Billy, rumored to be because he did not want a child to interfere with his married life.
The actress continued to raise her children alone until she met Brad Pitt and began dating in 2005. When the couple first went public with their relationship that April in Kenya, Angelina brought Maddox along.
Maddox is the boy who receives Angelina Jolie’s special affection.
It was thought that the small Brangelina family would be happily ever after, but in the last 2 years, the controversy surrounding the couple’s ‘separate ways’ has caused a stir in the press. After a long divorce, deciding who will adopt the children becomes more difficult than ever. Respecting his child’s opinion, recently the ‘oldest boy’ Maddox was registered by his adoptive mother to study at a school in Korea .
Angelina did not expect that her children were growing up.
Many people believe that Angelina was very thoughtful when choosing a school in Asia for her eldest child. It is known that the famous female star has completed preparations for Maddox in the near future.
Maddox is now an adult.
Because it was the first time leaving her eldest son since adopting him, Angelina Jolie felt quite strange. She was a bit sad and heartbroken when her son was about to leave her for a new horizon. However, she is very proud that Maddox has become more and more mature and can decide everything, even about her education.
Angelina and Brad’s first public date included Maddox.
However, recently, information revealed the real reason why Maddox chose Korea to study abroad instead of schools in the US, to be close to his parents and children. It’s because this popular kid is fed up with his parents’ fighting. Maddox has a lot of love for Angelina but also loves his father very much. The boy felt heartbroken when his parents were at war and spoke ill of each other in the newspaper.
Brangelina broke up, starting a custody battle for their children, including Maddox.
When Brad and Angie first announced their divorce, many reports said that it was Maddox who was the cause of the two fighting. A source said that the 52-year-old actor beat one of his children during a private flight from France to the US on September 14. The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) confirmed the investigation. News sites said that Brad yelled at Maddox but did not touch him . No matter what, everyone hopes that young men will have interesting experiences in the beautiful Asian country called Korea.
