The world's most famous celebrity family, the Jolie-Pitt children, are officially all grown up, and their lives are undergoing significant, headline-making changes in late 2024 and early 2025. Following the finalization of their parents' long and contentious divorce in December 2024, the six children—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne—are carving out distinct paths, with several making powerful public statements about their identities and relationships with their father, Brad Pitt.

The latest updates, including a major legal name change and new career ventures, confirm that this generation of Hollywood royalty is stepping firmly into the spotlight on their own terms, navigating college, career, and complex family dynamics. The current status of their relationship with Brad Pitt remains a point of intense public interest, with reports indicating a continuing strain as they pursue their independent lives.

The Five Biggest, Most Current Updates on the Jolie-Pitt Children

The six children are now all teenagers or young adults, and their individual lives are taking them across the globe, from prestigious universities to the bright lights of Broadway. Their recent actions and life choices have provided the most significant updates on the family dynamic since their parents’ separation.

1. Shiloh Jolie Officially Drops ‘Pitt’ from Her Legal Name

The most consequential update came in 2024 when Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt filed a formal request to legally remove her father’s last name on her 18th birthday in May. This request was officially granted in August 2024, making her legal name Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. While other children, including Zahara and Vivienne, have publicly used the name 'Jolie' (or 'Jolie-Pitt' in some contexts), Shiloh’s action marks the first time one of the children has taken a formal, legal step to drop the Pitt surname. The decision is widely seen by the public and media as a clear statement regarding the strained relationship between the children and their father in the wake of the highly publicized divorce and custody battle.

2. Maddox and Zahara Are Thriving in Academia

The two eldest children, Maddox and Zahara, are pursuing higher education at prestigious institutions, demonstrating a commitment to their studies outside of the Hollywood bubble. Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt is currently studying Biochemistry at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. He reportedly chose the highly-ranked institution after being accepted to several other universities, showing a strong interest in science and a desire to live and study in Asia, near his birth country of Cambodia. Meanwhile, Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt is a student at Spelman College, a historically Black liberal arts college for women in Atlanta, Georgia. Angelina Jolie has been a visible and proud mother, attending events at both campuses and publicly supporting their educational journeys.

3. Vivienne Jolie-Pitt Makes Her Broadway Debut Behind the Scenes

Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt, one of the younger twins, has shown a strong interest in the arts, but not in front of the camera like her famous parents. In 2024, she worked alongside her mother, Angelina Jolie, as a voluntary production assistant on the new Broadway musical adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s classic novel, *The Outsiders*. Vivienne’s passion for the theater and her hands-on role in the production were highlighted by Jolie, who is a lead producer on the show. This collaboration provides a glimpse into Vivienne's career aspirations, suggesting a path in stage production and development rather than acting, and solidifying her close working relationship with her mother.

4. Brad Pitt’s Relationship with His Children Remains ‘Strained’

The most challenging and frequently reported aspect of the family’s current life is the distance between Brad Pitt and his six children. Multiple reports in 2024 and 2025 indicate that the actor's relationship with most of his children is "strained" and "estranged." Sources suggest that Pitt has either limited or no contact with several of his children, with some reports claiming the relationship with his two eldest sons, Maddox and Pax, is "beyond repair." Pitt has reportedly expressed a desire to be closer to them, but the years of legal battles and the fallout from the 2016 separation have created a significant and lasting rift. The children’s public support for their mother and actions like Shiloh’s name change underscore the ongoing complexity of the family dynamic.

5. Pax Jolie-Pitt and Knox Jolie-Pitt Maintain Low Profiles

While their siblings have made headlines for name changes, college acceptances, and Broadway work, Pax Thien and Knox Léon have maintained the lowest public profiles, a choice that offers a degree of privacy often difficult for children of such high-profile figures. Pax, now in his early twenties, has previously been reported to have an interest in photography and art, even contributing to a gallery show under a pseudonym. However, recent, concrete updates on his career or academic path are scarce, suggesting he is deliberately keeping his life private. Knox, the younger twin, is still a teenager and has been seen accompanying his mother and siblings to various events, but his personal interests and future plans have not been publicly detailed, allowing him to enjoy a more private adolescence alongside his sister, Vivienne.

The Future of the Jolie-Pitt Children: Identity and Independence

As the Jolie-Pitt children continue to mature, their collective story has shifted from one of a global family spectacle to one of individual identity and independence. The children, now all over the age of 17, are actively making decisions that define their own paths separate from the 'Brangelina' narrative. Their choice of colleges, career pursuits, and, most notably, their surnames, are all powerful indicators of their desire to forge lives that reflect their own values and relationships.

The fact that three of the children are now legally or publicly using only the 'Jolie' surname highlights a generational realignment within the family. This move is not just a legal formality but a cultural statement that resonates deeply with the public, who have followed their lives since their earliest days. The focus is no longer on where they are going on vacation, but on where they are going to university, what causes they are supporting, and how they are choosing to define their own family structure. Their continued journey into adulthood will undoubtedly keep them in the public eye, not just as the children of famous actors, but as significant entities in their own right.
