Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie's Twins, Vivienne And Knox, Are Their Parents' Mini-Mes On Rare LA Outing
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's twins, Vivienne and Knox Jolie-Pitt, made a rare appearance recently, which highlighted their strong resemblance to their famous parents. The duo was spotted in Los Angeles dressed casually as they visited a grocery store to pick up a few items. Besides the soon-to-be 17-year-old twins, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie share four other children, including Shiloh, 19, and their adopted siblings Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, and Zahara, 20. Jolie and Pitt's twins, Vivienne and Knox, were recently spotted in public, and people couldn't help but notice how much they resemble their famous parents. Knox looked much like the younger version of his father, with his low haircut that looked similar to the one Pitt had when he starred with Jolie in the action comedy "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." Meanwhile, Vivienne looked like the spitting image of her mother, wearing her hair loose, with some strands tucked behind her ears, just like the actress had been seen doing many times. For the outing, the duo dressed casually, wearing complementing outfits that consisted of a white polo, denims, and sneakers. They visited their local grocery, and Knox was seen carrying out a shopping bag as they made their way out of the location. From all indications, it appeared that they were unaccompanied by their mother on the casual outing. Earlier this year, the twins showed their humanitarian side by joining their mother to help close friends who were affected by the devastating fires that swept through parts of Los Angeles. The trio was spotted making multiple visits to their local grocery store in Los Feliz to pick up items needed to care for some of their loved ones who were staying at their home. "Right now I'm taking care of people close to me and having them at my house," she told the Daily Mail at the time during one of their grocery runs. A source also confirmed to People Magazine that the actress was "heartbroken for those who have lost their homes or are impacted by the fires." "She's doing everything she can to help, even opening her home to friends who were forced to evacuate," they continued. Knox and Vivienne are the youngest of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's six children. Their siblings include their older biological sister Shiloh, 19, and adopted siblings Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, and Zahara, 20. As for why the twins are rarely seen in public, Jolie explained in a promotional interview last year for her film "Maria" that all of her kids prefer to live "quite private" lives. "None of my children want to be in front of the camera [at] this time," Jolie said during an appearance on "Good Morning America," per People. "They're quite private." "Shiloh's extremely private," the actress noted, before adding, "They weren't born with privacy, right? So, I hope that they can have that as they grow old. So we'll see." That same year, she made a similar statement to E! News when asked if her kids intended to pursue a career in acting. "No, I think they're especially shy, very private people," she told the outlet. "They want to be private." While Jolie seems to have a strong relationship with her children, things appear to be different with Pitt. Last year, People confirmed that his bond with his older children remains strained, and he has had "virtually no contact" with them for a long time. Meanwhile, he still has "visitation" rights with the younger kids, twins Vivienne and Knox, although Jolie has the children "most of the time." Yet, his relationship with the twins may not be very strong either. Multiple reports last year noted that Vivienne dropped the last name "Pitt" from her credit in The Outsiders Playbill. However, it has yet to be confirmed whether she has legally changed her name. After nearly a decade-long legal war, Pitt and Jolie finally reached a settlement in their divorce in December last year. The Hollywood stars first met while filming "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" in 2003 and subsequently started dating before getting married in August 2014. However, shortly after their second wedding anniversary and an alleged private jet abuse incident, the "Maleficent" actress filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of their split. Following their divorce settlement, Jolie's lawyer, James Simon, revealed that the actress is "relieved this one part is over." "Frankly, Angelina is exhausted," Simon told the Daily Mail. "More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr Pitt, and since that time, she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family."
