Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie might be some of the last few classic movie stars before the rise of social media came to create instant fame for so many we now recognize on a first-name basis.
They’re the most recognizable faces and names in Hollywood and a couple that’s been the sole focus for more tabloid pieces and article op-eds than there are stars in the sky. Their marriage, relationships, divorce, and efforts to adopt kids around the globe have been subject to scrutiny, praise, and everything in between.
We all know that this former Hollywood power couple has been talked about enough. What more could there possibly be said about the professional and intimate details of their lives that haven’t been plastered on the covers of Vanity Fair or Vogue already?
So we decided to take some time to learn a little more about the wonderful kids that are the centerpieces of the Jolie-Pitt family. Join us while we rank the five Jolie-Pitt siblings from oldest to youngest!!

Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt is the oldest child of Angeline Jolie and later, Brad Pitt. His story of finding his way to his family and becoming part of Angelina’s life is a heartwarming one.
Maddox began his life as an orphan in a Cambodian village. Angelina, who was then married to Billy Bob Thornton in the early 2000s, came across the young Maddox.
Her heart was immediately captured by the young boy who first caught her eye while on a trip with the U.N. He locked eyes with Jolie, flashed a smile, and the rest was history. Their fate as mother and son was sealed at that moment.
Upon splitting from Billy Bob, his last name was changed to include Pitt when Brad Pitt officially adopted him in 2006.

Maddox prefers to stay behind the camera when it comes to showbiz. He did, however, play an uncredited zombie in his dad’s apocalyptic zombie film, World War Z. He worked as an executive producer on First They Killed My Father in 2017.

In an article for People magazine, Jolie raved about the relationship between Pax and Maddox, who is the closest in age.
“Pax and Maddox have really connected because they’re closer in age and are brothers, so they have moments when they bond together against everybody else in the family.”
His interests range from music, filmography, and photography. He’s described as a great kid. Though he leaves the acting for his A-list parents, he’s no stranger to film, playing a minor role in the dark fantasy epic Maleficent, starring Angelina Jolie.

Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt he and her sisters Shiloh and Vivienne have to team up against the boys in the family.
She’s described as a lover of all things fashion, and from taking a glance at red carpet premiers she accompanies her mom to, it’s evident mom and dad’s good taste rubbed off on her.
Zahara was adopted the same year she was born in 2005, from an orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
In July 2020, for a TIME 100 talk, Angelina Jolie described how even though she was raised in America, she is just as much a child of Ethiopia, closely connected with a love for her home country.

Born in Namibia to escape the lenses of the paparazzi, Shiloh lives a very private life thanks to the sheltering of her parents. When the public does catch a glimpse of Shiloh, it’s generally for a philanthropic mission or red carpet events she attends with mom and dad.
At 15, she has an unmistakable resemblance to both parents and maybe one day will take up the mantle as the next actress in the family.
For her filmography, she also had a small role in Kung Fu Panda 3 alongside her siblings and an uncredited role in the 2008 classic starring her father, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
