Angelina Jolie shares her life with six children from her previous marriage to Brad Pitt: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne. The family consists of three adopted children and three biological kids. Some of the children have reportedly chosen to drop “Pitt” from their last names amid rumors of tensions with their father.
