Kids With Famous Parents: Where Are They Now?
Maddox Jolie-Pitt
Angelina Jolie famously adopted her first son, Maddox, in 2002. Born as Rath Vibol in a village in Cambodia, Jolie wanted to adopt him as a baby while she was in the country filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and while she was on a UNHCR field mission. A halt was put on the adoption when the U.S. banned adoptions from Cambodia over suspicions of human trafficking, but Jolie was successfully able to take custody of her son in 2003, who she mostly raised as a single mother.
Now 15 years old, Maddox was recently in headlines for an alleged child abuse claim against Brad Pitt, who adopted him in 2006 when Pitt and Jolie were still married. But since their explosive divorce, Maddox has reportedly been siding with his mother and didn’t want to see his adoptive father.
