Angelina Jolie and her eldest son Maddox Jolie-Pitt made a rare public appearance together at the White House State Dinner. The Maleficent star, who is 47 years old, looked stunning in a white gown and coordinating blazer, accessorized with a string of pearls and a gold clutch. Maddox, who is 21 years old, wore a dapper black suit with a long jacket. The mother-son duo mingled with other guests at the star-studded event, which was held to welcome the president of South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, to the White House.
Angelina Jolie is well-known for her advocacy of political issues and the promotion of female empowerment, as she serves as a special envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. During a panel with the National Democratic Institute in July 2020, Jolie emphasized the importance of recognizing the value of women and what is holding them back from achieving their full potential.
Jolie and her ex-husband Brad Pitt, who is 59 years old, share six children: Maddox, 21, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 16, and 14-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. Despite their split in 2016 and ongoing custody and divorce battles, Jolie has made her children her top priority.
Angelina Jolie's father, Jon Voight, spoke exclusively to Us Weekly in February 2019 about his daughter's dedication to motherhood. He praised her for being an invested mom who constantly shows love and care to her children. Voight also complimented Jolie for her intelligence, bravery, and other great qualities.
Jolie has always been proud of her children and has shown her support for Maddox's academic pursuits. In 2019, it was confirmed that Maddox had enrolled at South Korea’s Yonsei University to study biochemistry. The Eternals star expressed her happiness for Maddox, describing him as a smart and wild young man who has managed to find balance in his teenage years, during an interview with Entertainment Tonight in October of the same year.
