As Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt's daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt matures, she's starting to follow in her famous parents' footsteps. Born alongside her twin brother, Knox, in July 2008 in Nice, France, Vivienne is the youngest of six siblings. Though raised out of the public eye, she has appeared on the red carpet with her mother and has even collaborated with her on creative projects.

Angelina Jolie often speaks about how nurturing her six children has been "healing" for her, and she and Brad Pitt have always encouraged them to pursue their individual goals.

Welcoming Vivienne to the World

Jolie first hinted at her pregnancy when she showed off her baby bump at the Independent Spirit Awards. On July 12, 2008, she and Pitt welcomed twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon in Nice, France. Vivienne was born a minute after Knox, weighing 5 pounds. The family spent time at their Château Miraval estate in Provence following the twins' birth. Angelina shared that the older children enjoyed picking out clothes and helping care for the newborns.

In an August 2023 interview, Jolie noted that Vivienne isn't drawn to the spotlight but prefers to support other creatives. She's serious about understanding theater and making meaningful contributions.

Vivienne's Acting Debut

In 2014, Vivienne made her film debut alongside her mother in "Maleficent," playing a young version of Aurora. At the time, Jolie explained that Vivienne was the only child willing to interact with her in full costume as the intimidating villain. While Angelina and Brad didn't want to push their kids into acting careers, Vivienne's comfort level and rapport with her mother made her a natural choice for the role.
