Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's children have spent their childhood in the public eye.
The couple began their relationship in 2005, a few years after Angelina adopted her son Maddox from Cambodia. Brad joined Angelina in Ethiopia in the same year to adopt Zahara, and in 2006, he officially became the adoptive father of both children.
The Oscar winners expanded their family by welcoming Shiloh in 2006, and then adopting Pax from Vietnam in 2007. One year later, Jolie gave birth to their twins, Knox and Vivienne.
However, since the couple split in September 2016, the stars of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" have faced challenges in co-parenting. Their relationship took a turn for the worse in October 2021 when Jolie sold her stake in their winery business, Chateau Miraval. According to a source, Pitt felt that the sale was a deliberate attempt to hurt him. He later sued Jolie in February 2022, accusing her of selling her shares without his knowledge and violating their agreement to only sell with mutual consent.
Jolie has made allegations of abuse, which Pitt has strongly denied.

Since their split in September 2016, the stars of Mr. and Mrs. Smith have faced challenges in co-parenting. Things took a turn for the worse in October 2021 when Jolie sold her share in their winery business, Chateau Miraval. According to a source, Pitt felt the sale was a deliberate attempt to hurt him, believing it was done out of spite.
In February 2022, Pitt took legal action against his ex-wife, accusing her of selling her shares without his knowledge. He claimed that Jolie was trying to profit unfairly and that the sale violated their agreement to seek mutual consent before selling. Additionally, Jolie has made allegations of abuse against Pitt, which he has strongly denied.
