Hey there, let’s talk about Angelina Jolie and her kids. As Angelina’s ongoing divorce from Brad Pitt continues to unfold, she’s been bringing her children along to red carpet events. But one person who’s been noticeably absent? Her eldest son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt. And it seems like Maddox, now 16, is totally okay with staying out of the limelight.
Here’s the scoop: sources are telling Life & Style that Maddox has no interest in following in his parents’ famous footsteps. Instead, he’s choosing a quieter path, far from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. “Maddox just doesn’t vibe with all the Hollywood hoopla,” an insider shares. “He’s not into attending any kind of showbiz event. If he has to make a quick appearance, he’ll do it, but celebrity events? Not really his scene.”

Now, Maddox recently worked with his mom on her latest film, First They Killed My Father. But guess what? He stayed behind the scenes as an executive producer. “She’s such a fun, funny, and easy person to work with,” Maddox shared with People. “I was just trying to help out wherever I could. That meant being part of meetings, helping with the script, preparing shoots, and reviewing daily footage.”
Maddox’s Perspective on the Hollywood Life
Angelina, who shares five other kids—Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 11, and nine-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne—with her estranged husband, would love for Maddox to join her on the red carpet. But she’s not pushing him. “He finds it all a bit pretentious,” the insider adds. “Maddox just wants to lead as normal a life as possible.”
Angelina and Brad’s Custody Battle
Angelina and Brad split nearly two years ago, but reports suggest they’re still working through custody issues. “They had been handling things privately and amicably, focusing on what’s best for the family,” an insider revealed to In Touch. “But then Angelina changed course when she felt Brad was trying to resolve things in a way that benefited him more.” Hopefully, the couple can find common ground soon—for the sake of their kids.
