Angelina Jolie enjoys rare outing with son Knox, 15, in LA
Angelina Jolie was spotted picking up some goodies in Los Angeles over the weekend with her rarely photographed teenager, Knox, by her side.
The “Maleficent” actress and her 15-year-old son were photographed exiting a pet store on Sunday with a few bags filled with toys and treats.
Knox – who looked all grown up and taller than his mom – sported a casual ensemble for the low-key outing. He paired a T-shirt with black athletic shorts, white socks and Nike high top sneakers.
Meanwhile, Jolie, 49, opted for a more formal and sophisticated option.
She sported a matching black blazer and pants set over a white top, accessorizing with black heel boots and sunglasses.
The mother-son duo were likely shopping around for items for their own pets. Jolie has been vocal about her passion for animals, and the family has raised several dogs, bunnies and snakes over the years.
Sunday’s outing marked the first time Knox – whom Jolie shares with ex Brad Pitt – has been photographed in public since December 2023. At the time, he and two of his siblings stepped out to support Jolie’s store, Atelier Jolie, in New York City.
While it appears Knox has attempted to avoid the spotlight, his twin sister, Vivienne, has seemingly embraced it. She recently worked as an assistant and co-producer with her mom on the Broadway show ”The Outsiders.”
Jolie and Vivienne even wore coordinating outfits while walking the red carpet together at the 2024 Tony Awards last month.
Despite the cute mother-daughter moment on the carpet, Vivienne found herself wrapped up in some drama after audience members noticed that she listed her name as “Vivienne Jolie” –– rather than Vivienne Jolie-Pitt –– in the Playbill.
She dropped her dad’s last name from her moniker just a few months after her older sister Zahara did the same during her sorority induction into the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College.
It’s unclear whether Vivienne or Zahara, 19, have legally filed to change their last name.
However, just days after Vivienne’s name news went public, the former couple’s other daughter Shiloh legally filed to drop “Pitt” from her last name on her 18th birthday in May.
A source told Us Weekly at the time that Pitt, 60, was “devastated” and saw it as “more than” a name change.
“It was a symbol of a deeper estrangement that has been brewing for years,” the insider said, with another source claiming that he’s “finding it extremely difficult to come to terms with” the news.
Page Six previously reported that the “Babylon” actor is trying to “forge” a bond with his six kids as they “get older and have a life of their own.”
It’s unclear where the other children –– including Knox and sons Maddox, 22 and Pax, 20 –– stand on using their Pitt-Jolie surname.
The “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” co-stars, who dated for over a decade, broke up in 2016 after two years of marriage.
They became legally single in 2019 but their divorce proceedings over the ownership of their French winery, Château Miraval, amongst other issues have remained ongoing.
