The journey of Maddox growing up with Angelina Jolie – Brad Pitt

The Cambodian adopted son, who lived with the couple at seven months old, will go to college next year.

In 2002, a seven-month-old boy – Rath Vibol – at an orphanage in Battambang became the child of a Hollywood star and was renamed Maddox. Maddox was born on August 5, 2001 in Cambodia.


In 2003, Angelina Jolie shared with ET about Maddox: “That was my first child. He made me a real woman.”

In 2005, rumors of Brad Pitt Dating Angelina Jolie appeared. They were photographed going to the Kenyan beach with Maddox.

Maddox bonded with Brad Pitt as the relationship between the two stars grew closer. In 2005, Angie adopted Zahara. In early 2006, Maddox and Zahara changed their family name to Jolie-Pitt and were legally adopted by Brad Pitt, sharing responsibility with Angelina Jolie.

In 2007, Angelina Jolie gave birth to daughter Shiloh and adopted Pax Thien from Vietnam. Maddox was then six years old.

The eldest child of the star couple is brought to events by his parents.

With his siblings, Maddox followed his parents to many places around the world. He hired a private tutor at home.


During a conversation on the radio show “Woman’s Hour” in the UK in 2016, Angelina Jolie said Maddox likes to learn languages and is learning German and Russian.

Angelina Jolie let her children practice running a charity fund in Cambodia, participating in film production (“By the Sea” and “First They Killed My Father”)…

At the age of 17, Maddox was about to graduate from high school and expressed his desire to pursue higher education in Korea. According to People, Angelina Jolie took her son to visit some famous schools in Seoul last weekend.

Since Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt broke up in 2016, Maddox has limited her appearances in front of the media. The argument between him and Brad Pitt is said to be the reason why Angelina Jolie ended their marriage. There is no information about the current relationship between Maddox and Brad Pitt.

In the summer, Maddox shared on his personal page: “I know my parents are famous and the public cares about my family. I also know they are divorcing. I know there are a lot of rumors out there. But please respect our privacy. My parents still have a very good relationship and we both love our dad and nothing can change that.”
