Although it’s been quite some time since the separation of what was dubbed one of the most famous and most influential Hollywood couples, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, they still attract plenty of attention mostly because of the feuds the two have been involved in following their divorce.
From the moment she was born, Pitt-Jolie’s daughter Vivienne became an instant celebrity. When she and her twin brother Knox were welcomed into the famous family, the world went crazy. Everyone was anticipating the photos of the babies, and their parents sold exclusive images to People and Hello! for $14 million, which was donated to their non-profit organization, the Maddox-Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
In 2008, Pitt spoke how the media violated their privacy. “Well, we get run out of every major city. It’s what I’ve been b****ing about. These photographers are chasing the kids and calling their names,” he told Rolling Stones.
Vivienne, now 15, is considered one of the most beautiful young women, and that’s thanks to the features she has inherited from both her parents.
Her mom, famous Angelina Jolie, has been named the most beautiful woman in the world several times while her dad, Brad Pitt, has twice been named People’s Sexiest Man Alive.
Rumors about Pitt and Jolie’s relationship started shortly after he divorced actress Jennifer Aniston in 2005. While the public doesn’t know the exact reason of Aniston and Pitt’s separation, the Tomb Raider star insists the two weren’t intimate until Pitt’s divorce was complete.
“To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive,” she said, referring to her father’s infidelity. “I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.”
Pitt and Jolie tied the knot in 2014 and share biological children Shiloh, born in 2006, along with Knox and Vivienne. The family also includes adopted kids Maddox Jolie-Pitt (22), from Cambodia, daughter, Zahara Jolie-Pitt (18), from Ethiopia, Pax Thien (19) from Vietnam.
Speaking of their children, Jolie told People, “They’re pretty great people and because there’s so many of them, I think they’ve had a very significant effect on each other. It’s not like I’m the head of anything. I’m very resolved not to treat any of her children differently I’m very honest with my kids. And I’m very human with my kids.”
She continued: “I have six very individual human beings in my home. I am so excited about all the different stages and feelings and curiosities that they go through. Why wouldn’t you be? We’re supposed to help them figure out who they are. And you can’t figure out who they are if you don’t enthusiastically develop with them.”
Following their messy separation, the couple continued co-parenting their children.
“Every time I see or say Vivienne’s full name I think of my mom,” Jolie told Hello! Referring to her personality, her dad added, “I dare to say Viv is proving to resemble Ange in spirit, attitude and physicality. She is quite elegant like her mother.”
At the age of five, Vivienne shared the screen with her mom, playing young princess Aurora in the 2014 film Maleficent.
“We think it’s fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That’s not our goal, for Brad and I, at all. But, the other three and four-year-old [performers] wouldn’t come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn’t afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv.”
Viv hasn’t acted ever since. “Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn’t focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives,” Jolie told E! News of her daughter, who’s her assistant for the stage production of the 1983 movie The Outsiders. “She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.”
Besides being blessed with great looks, Vivienne is also a kind soul. Some years ago, she was spotted selling dog treats at a Los Angeles park in an attempt to raise money for a rescue dog shelter.
Vivienne, who is a huge animal lover, was crashed when her pet bunny died in 2020. “…Vivienne’s bunny passed away during a surgery, and we adopted two sweet little ones who are disabled. They need to be in pairs. They are so gentle and it has helped to focus on their care with her at this time. And on the dogs, and snake, and lizard…,” her mom told Harper’s Bazaar.
We are yet to witness what young Vivienne would chose as a career path. What’s certain is that many hope she follows into her famous parents’ footsteps.
