Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt sparked a media frenzy when they first got together. Whether you loved, hated, or even cared that two of the most beautiful people in Hollywood were together ā you simply couldnāt avoid images of them together in every publication.
Despite rumors of infidelity and secret affairs, Hollywoodās most iconic couple stayed with one another for 12 years, raising their three biological children and three adopted children.
āTomb Raiderā star Angelina Jolie already had two adopted sons, Maddox and Pax, when she met Brad Pitt on the set of āMr. & Mrs. Smithā in 2004. Brad Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston back then.
āBecause of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized, āGod, I canāt wait to get to work.ā ā¦ Anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair,ā Angelina Jolie told People in 2006.
At that time, there were a lot of rumors about a possible romance between Pitt and Jolie ā but the main characters of the speculation kept quiet.
āWe spent a lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what we both wanted in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things,ā Angelina said.
Angelina then agreed to adopt Ethiopia-born Zahara Marley in 2005 and Brad Pitt co-adopted her in 2006.
It was in 2006 that they confirmed they were a pair, when Angelina announced that she was pregnant with Bradās child. To avoid the media frenzy that would have undoubtedly ensued, she and Pitt traveled to Namibia for the birth.
The fact that Brad and Angelina, dubbed āBrangelinaā, were to have a child together became world news.
According to photo agencies, the very first picture of the child was estimated as being worth $1 million ā no wonder an army of paparazzi did all they could to get close to the couple.
āNot since Jesus has a baby been so eagerly anticipated,ā wrote New York magazine.
The couple gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Shiloh Nouvel, on May 27, 2006. Their daughter was born at a private hospital called The Cottage Medi-Clinic, in the coastal town of Swakopmund, Namibia.
āAngelina underwent a scheduled cesarean due to breech presentation,ā Dr. Rothbart told PEOPLE at the time and continued:
āThe baby was a healthy 7 lbs. Brad was with Angelina in the operating room the entire time and cut the umbilical cord of his daughter. The surgery and birth went flawlessly. ā
Brad and Angelina then sold the pictures of their gorgeous bundle for a record amount of money, with all proceeds donated to UNICEF.
āWhile we celebrate the joy of the birth of our daughter, we recognise that 2 million babies born every year in the developing world die on the first day of their lives. These children can be saved, but only if governments around the world make it a priority,ā the couple said in a statement.
The extraordinary circumstances this little girl was born into meant it was hard to go anywhere without the media following, but despite the attention, the couple have done everything they can to keep their childrenās lives private.
Of course, all eyes remained on Shiloh. Unsurprising, considering her parents.
In May of this year, Shiloh turned 16 years old. Sheās now starting to grow up fast. The teenager is reportedly close to her older brothers and sister, as well as younger twin siblings Knox and Vivienne, now 14 years old.
None of them are on social media, so a lot isnāt known about the famous family, but one story that has come to light is that the coupleās oldest biological child hasnāt gone by the name Shiloh since a very young age.
The youngster has instead gone by the name of John Jolie-Pitt, which she chose herself. During a 2008 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Pitt opened up about Shiloh asking him to call her John instead.
āShe only wants to be called John. John or Peter. So itās a Peter Pan thing. So weāve got to call her John,ā he said.
āSo weāve got to call her John. āShi, do you want ā¦ā ā āJohn. Iām John.ā And then Iāll say, āJohn, would you like some orange juice?ā And she goes, āNo!ā So, you know, itās just that kind of stuff thatās cute to parents, and itās probably really obnoxious to other people.ā
Her parents, who divorced in 2019, are fully supportive of their childās choice of name and support Johnās desire to match clothes with her brothers.
āShe wants to be a boy,ā Angelina told Vanity Fair. āSo we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boysā everything. She thinks sheās one of the brothers.ā
Mom Angelina approved of the name change despite the name Shiloh having a personal meaning to her.
āIt was a name my parents almost named their first child ā there was a miscarriage: Shiloh Baptist. Because my father had been shooting in Georgia and that was the most southern name [my parents] could come up with,ā she explained.
āItās a name I always liked. I used to go under it in hotels: Shiloh Baptist. Iād gone under it when Brad called hotel rooms where I was staying.ā
Despite Brad and Angelinaās divorce, Shiloh has maintained good relationship with both her parents.
Whatās more, according to media reports, Brad Pitt is a very proud father.
āBradās kids are the most important thing to him. He tells his friends he learns so much about life from his own children,ā a source told Entertainment Tonight, continuing:
āHe and Angie have been getting along so much better since the custody rules have been worked out. They have come so far.ā
Doesnāt Shiloh look so very much like her father? Many also think that she has inherited her motherās lips.
āBrad is so proud of Shiloh and who she has become. He loves that she always stays true to herself and is so good to her brothers and sisters,ā one source told ET.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt surgery
Fast forward to March 2020, and Angelina Jolie revealed that her daughter had gone under the knife. She wrote for Time, in connection to International Womenās Day.
āI have spent the last two months in and out of surgeries with my eldest daughter [Zahara], and days ago watched her younger sister [Shiloh] go under the knife for hip surgery.
āSo my wish on this day is that we value girls. Care for them. And know that the stronger they grow, the healthier they will be and the more they will give back to their family and community.ā
In 2011, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt turned heads again when she showed up at the U.K. premiere of Marvelās āEternalsā.
According to People, she wore the same black-and-white Dior her mother sported back in 2019 when Angelina attended a press conference for āMaleficent: Mistress of Evilā.
Shilohās new appearance and choice of clothing made many raise their eyebrows. But this was not the first time Shiloh had borrowed her motherās dress. In July 2021, Shiloh wore her momās Gabriela Hearst dress when she attended the US. premiere of āEternalsā.
We can all learn a lot from Brad and Angelinaās handling of this situation; allowing Shiloh to embrace what sheās comfortable wearing and how she wants her hair styled.
This way thereās no pressure to conform to any ideal and Shiloh can take her time figuring out who she wants to be. After all, itās all any young person is trying to do.

The dog was then six years old and named Sadie. Her previous owner had abandoned her after moving because the landlord didnāt allow pets. Brian was warned that the animal was distrustful and quite nervous in the presence of men, but he managed to establish contact almost immediately with the German Shepherd and form a special bond. From their first encounter, Sadie put her paws on Brianās shoulders and began licking his face, as if thanking him for his unexpected rescue.
Myers and Sadie became friends, and she liked to sleep at the feet of her new owner. Brian contracted the COVID-19 virus. He managed to overcome the illness, but it likely affected his health. One night, he got out of bed to go to the bathroom but didnāt make it.
Myers suddenly collapsed to the floor and couldnāt move. Thatās when Sadie intervened: she licked the manās face, preventing him from losing consciousness. Brian managed to grab the collar of his four-legged friend. At that moment, the dog began pulling him toward the table where the phone was. The man was able to grab his cell phone and call emergency services.
