“Jolie’s Favorite”: What Does The Boy Whom Angelina Jolie Adopted 21 Years Ago Look Like Now?
In 2001, acclaimed actress Angelina Jolie embraced motherhood through adoption for the first time. At the time, she was in a marriage with Billy Bob Thornton, and together they had two children.
Jolie, already deeply involved in humanitarian efforts, found herself in Cambodia where she encountered a 7-month-old boy named Rath Vibol. Jolie recounted that he was the first child she ever held close.
The decision was clear to her; the boy was meant to be part of her family. Thornton, her husband at the time, also became a father figure to the boy. However, following their separation, Jolie assumed full guardianship.
Subsequently, she married Brad Pitt, who welcomed the responsibility of being a father to the boy, who was then renamed Maddox Jolie Pitt.
Jolie is known to be a loving and nurturing mother, allowing her children freedom while ensuring they are surrounded by love – a value she holds in high esteem.
Maddox, now 21, is a guitar player, fluent in three languages, and possesses a distinctive style and taste, especially in film, often accompanying his mother on set. During the separation between Jolie and Pitt, Maddox supported his mother. The bond between Jolie and her son is strong, with the two sharing a close friendship.
Currently, Maddox is pursuing a degree in Bioengineering at Yonsei University in Korea. It’s speculated that Jolie has made provisions in her will to leave a significant portion of her estate to Maddox, whom she holds dear.
