Kids With Famous Parents: Where Are They Now?

Zahara Jolie-Pitt

Angelina Jolie adopted her first daughter, Zahara, in 2005 from Ethiopia after she and Brad Pitt had expressed interest in adopting from that country. In 2007, a report came out about a woman who came forward as Zahara’s birth mother. When Zahara was still a baby, her mother ran away because she was unable to feed Zahara, who was becoming increasingly malnourished, so Zahara’s maternal grandmother put her up for adoption.

Despite worries that Zahara’s birth mother wanted her back, she has actually expressed deep gratitude, saying, “I think my daughter is a very fortunate human being to be adopted by a world famous lady. I wish them both all the success they deserve.” Now age 12, Zahara reportedly idolizes actress Lupita Nyong’o and wants to be a model.
