Quiet 49th for Angelina
Angelina Jolie is set to celebrate her 49th birthday in a low-key manner, choosing to spend a quiet day at home with her children. Amid ongoing tensions with her ex-husband Brad Pitt and their six children, Jolie’s focus remains on her family.
According to People magazine: “Angelina will celebrate her birthday with a quiet day at home with her kids. Zahara is home from college, and she looks forward to everyone spending the day together.” This intimate gathering will include all her children: Maddox, 22; Pax, 20; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.
Family Tensions
The decision for a subdued birthday comes amidst increasing family strife, particularly highlighted by Shiloh’s recent choice to drop ‘Pitt’ from her last name upon turning 18. Reports have disclosed that Shiloh made the decision to legally change her name from “Shiloh Jolie-Pitt” to “Shiloh Jolie” by hiring her own lawyer.
Last month, it was observed that Vivienne was credited as “Vivienne Jolie” instead of “Vivienne Jolie-Pitt” in the Playbill for the new musical The Outsiders, which she co-produced with her mother.
Similarly, in 2023, 19-year-old Zahara joined a Sorority at Spelman College and was recorded introducing herself to a crowd as “Zahara Marley Jolie.”
The girls’ apparent efforts to distance themselves from their father follow years of rumors suggesting that Brad’s relationship with his children has been strained due to his ongoing divorce with Angelina. The split is believed to have been triggered by an alleged incident on a private jet involving the couple and their children, occurring five days before Angelina filed for divorce.
This move has reportedly left Pitt “upset and aware,” adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing divorce battle between Jolie and Pitt, which has been dragging on for years.
Prioritizing Family
The actress-turned-activist has been navigating a challenging landscape, balancing her career, activism, and the well-being of her children. Despite the public and legal turmoil surrounding her divorce, Jolie remains dedicated to providing a stable and nurturing environment for her family as she continues to prioritize her role as a mother, ensuring that her children feel loved and supported.
