Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are two of the most well-known couples, with a large following. The couple was always known as Hollywood’s modern-day power couple – until they divorced in September 2016. The powerful couple had been together for over a decade, and their families had always been followed by the media during that time. Jolie and Pitt have six lovely children together. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, their first biological daughter, was born in 2006.

Angelina Jolie was a single mother when she gave birth to her first child in March 2002, while going through a divorce with her ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton. Maddox Chivan, a six-month-old Cambodian orphan, was the first child she adopted. She adopted another Ethiopian child named Zahara Marley three years later.

Escaping the Media
Celebrities, as we all know, have a difficult time avoiding being followed by the media, and the couple had the same problem. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have always desired a private life away from the spotlight, but the paparazzi have never allowed them to do so.

Pax Thien was welcomed into the family by the couple in mid-March 2007.
