Angelina Jolie Turns 51: Birthday Celebration with Kids

Angelina Jolie marked her 51st birthday with an intimate celebration, surrounded by her children. The Oscar-winning actress was spotted stepping out in Los Angeles with her sons Knox and Pax, as reported by the Daily Mail.

On Thursday, Jolie was photographed alongside Knox and Pax, spending quality time together on her birthday. Dressed casually in a grey sweater, trousers, and spectacles, the star was seen exiting a car while her boys took the wheel. Knox, sporting an orange-and-red hairstyle, wore a cream-coloured shirt and white joggers. He was seen helping his mother unload items from the vehicle, while Pax was reportedly chatting with her during the outing.

Has Knox Also Dropped 'Pitt' from Surname?

TikTok posts featured Knox in his graduation cloak and cap, accessorised with a flower garland and colourful prayer flags around his neck. The clip, shared by the handle @guarner97, referred to the teen as 'Knox Jolie' rather than 'Knox Jolie-Pitt', sparking speculation about a surname change.

Brad Pitt's Kids Drop 'Pitt' Surname

This comes after Knox's brother, Maddox, 24, made headlines last month by formally requesting the removal of 'Pitt' from his surname, opting to go by Maddox Chivan Jolie. He is not the only one to distance himself from father Brad Pitt. Shiloh legally dropped 'Pitt' from her surname last year, while Zahara and Vivienne have also reportedly chosen to use Jolie instead of Jolie-Pitt in public settings.

Since filing for divorce in 2016, Jolie and Pitt have remained estranged and continue to be embroiled in a legal battle over their French vineyard.
