Recent photos of Knox as a teenager appearing alongside his mother have sparked mixed reactions on social media. Some viewers have labeled him “Brad’s clone,” while others have highlighted resemblances to various other family members.

In July 2008, Angelina and Brad celebrated the birth of their twins, Knox and Vivienne, at the Foundation Lenval Hospital in Nice, France. Their birth garnered widespread media coverage and public interest.

Dr. Michel Sussmann, who oversaw the delivery, confirmed the twins’ birth and described the process as flawless. He stated, “Angelina is in very good spirits. Brad Pitt was at her side. He was there and all was well.”

Soon after the twins were born, the couple grabbed headlines by selling their exclusive baby photos for an unprecedented $14 million. A source revealed that People magazine and a British tabloid partnered to secure joint rights to publish the images.

Instead of keeping the money, they generously donated the entire $14 million to a children’s charity.

Vivienne and Knox’s arrival expanded the Jolie-Pitt family to six children, fulfilling Angelina’s previously expressed wish to grow their family. Even their parents were surprised by the news of having twins!

Angelina shared, “We weren’t expecting twins. So it did shock us, and we jumped to six [children] quickly. But we like a challenge.”

The older children eagerly embraced their roles as big siblings, especially the couple’s eldest daughters. Angelina shared, “[Shiloh] and Z pick out [the twins’] clothes and help change and hold them. It’s sweet—they are little mommies.”

Knox was frequently spotted with his siblings, and in 2011, he was seen holding his older sister’s hand as the family arrived at Haneda International Airport in Tokyo. With his long, dirty blonde hair, he bore a strong resemblance to his father.

By 2013, Knox was frequently seen in public alongside his famous parents. In April of that year, the cute five-year-old accompanied his mother in New York, dressed in a red and white jacket. His features increasingly reflected those of his parents, and he continued to wear his hair long.

The twins’ names also drew public interest. Early speculation suggested the couple might choose Isla Marcheline and Amelie Jane, but they instead selected names with strong ties to their family heritage.

Knox is a seldom-used Scottish, Irish, English surname. Brad’s grandfather’s middle name, Hal Knox Hillhouse, also served as inspiration for the boy’s name.

Instead of giving their sons the same first initial, Brad and Angelina chose names that both end with the letter “x.” Additionally, their middle names share the letter “n,” creating a meaningful connection between the siblings.

Knox’s middle name, Léon, was chosen in honor of Angelina’s great-great-grandfather, adding a deep familial significance to his full name.

By age six, Knox bore a strong resemblance to his famous father. “Knox is a lot like Brad, emotionally and physically,” Angelina shared. While he mirrored his father in appearance and temperament, his close bond with his mother was evident during public outings.

In June 2014, Knox was seen cheerfully holding his mother’s hand while walking through Japan’s Haneda Airport. A source also noted, “He’s also especially close to his big sister, Zahara.”

Knox Jolie-Pitt: 8 Years Old

In 2016, Angelina returned to voice acting by reprising her role as the fierce Tigress in “Kung Fu Panda 3.” This project was particularly meaningful for her family, as Knox and several of his siblings contributed their voices to the film.

An insider revealed that some of her children would participate in the production, and the actress’s representative confirmed, “They have some lines in the film.”

“They were kind of shy,” the actress recalled. “They don’t really want to be actors, but I didn’t want them to miss the opportunity. They came in, and they had a lot of fun with it,” she added.

In September 2016, Angelina shocked the world by filing for divorce from Brad. Her attorney, Robert Offer, explained that the decision was made to prioritize the family’s well-being and confirmed that she had requested physical custody of their children, granting Brad visitation rights.

The divorce documents revealed that Angelina cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the separation. She requested physical custody of Knox and his siblings, with her ex receiving visitation rights. Notably, the actress did not request spousal support.

Rumors about problems in their relationship had circulated for years, reaching a peak in 2010. However, during that time, Brad and Angelina took legal action against News of the World, successfully challenging the publication’s false claims that they were splitting up.

Knox Jolie-Pitt: 11 Years Old

By 2019, 11-year-old Knox had grown into a cheerful and energetic young boy. In March, he attended the premiere of “Dumbo” with his mother and siblings, where he shared a noticeable resemblance to his older sister, Shiloh, as they smiled together for the camera.

In November, Angelina and several of her children were seen spending quality time at a dog park. The actress and her children were photographed selling organic dog treats to support a charity. Former “Parenthood” actress Sarah Ramos captured the unexpected moment and later shared it on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“I’m not sure why God chose me to tell this story but I have to fulfill my calling: A couple [of] months ago I went to the dog park and saw Angelina Jolie selling organic dog treats [sic],” Sarah tweeted. An insider later explained, “The kids wanted to support Hope for Paws and they made the treats themselves.”

By 2021, Knox had grown into a teenager and had already matched the height of his older brother, Maddox. In October, he was seen smiling warmly for the cameras at a film premiere in England. Dressed in an all-black outfit, he looked striking, having swapped his youthful long hair for a more polished shorter haircut.

That year, the actress offered an honest insight into her parenting style. The “Maleficent” star expressed deep love and gratitude for her children, highlighting how Knox and his siblings greatly influenced one another as they grew and matured.

Her parenting style focused on nurturing curiosity and encouraging her children to embrace their individuality. She shared her eagerness to explore “all the different aspects of who they are.”

Angelina explained that her primary role as a parent was to “be there to support and develop all the different aspects of who they are.” She demonstrated a deep commitment to fostering the growth and individuality of each of her children.

By 2023, Knox had experienced a noticeable growth spurt, often towering over his family members. His impressive height was evident in public appearances, where he was frequently seen standing taller than his mother and siblings.

However, it wasn’t just her professional role that caught public attention. The playbill for the musical listed her as Vivienne Jolie, noticeably omitting her father’s last name.

Someone else compared Knox to his mother writing, “Male version of her. So handsome. She loves been [sic] a mom and it looks so good on her.” Agreeing, an individual said, “[He is] his mother’s copy,” and another netizen commented, “He looks like his mom.”

Other social media users praised Knox for his looks. “He is growing up to be a handsome young man,” one person wrote. “Gosh he has gotten so tall,” another person commented in part. “Knox is all grown up! Where did [the] time go?” a user wondered.

Some of the essentials they bought included water. Being interviewed on site, Angelina revealed that they had people at their house. She vowed to make donations, saying, “Right now I’m taking care of people close to me, and having them at my house.”
