Conflicts in the families of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are attracting the attention of fans. Among the couple’s six children, Pax Thien (Vietnamese adopted son) is quite tense with Brad Pitt.

Recently, Brad Pitt gave up custody of his children with his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie. The couple announced their divorce in 2016, but the custody dispute between the two famous Hollywood stars has continued for the past 8 years. 

Currently, 3 of the couple’s 6 children have reached adulthood and do not need parental guardianship. The couple’s biological daughter Shiloh will turn 18 next May, and the twins, a boy and a girl, are the only two children who need guardianship.

After 8 years of pursuing litigation, wanting to gain custody of his child with Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt decided to give up. According to international media, the court will issue a final decision this summer. 

Among Brad Pitt’s six children, Shiloh seems to support and defend her father. She did not agree with the way her siblings treated her father. The girl wants to heal the family. According to a close source, Shiloh wants to return to live with her father when she turns 18 years old. The girl has artistic talent and shares the same passion as her biological father.

Shiloh’s intention to move out to live with her father when she turns 18 is said to be a move against Pax Thien and Angelina Jolie’s other adopted children. In contrast to Shiloh, adopted son Pax Thien has a rather harsh attitude towards Brad Pitt. 

On Father’s Day 2020, Pax Thien posted a photo of Brad Pitt receiving an Oscar for his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and wrote: “Happy Father’s Day. Time and time again, you just prove you’re a dad.” bad and despicable”.

Pax Thien also added that Brad Pitt turned the lives of his mother and siblings into hell, and “the truth about his bad father will come to light”. Pax Thien’s words made Brad Pitt collapse. According to Page Six, this is the reason why the actor gave up custody of his children with his ex-wife.

18 years ago, Pax Thien lived for 3 years in an orphanage center in Ho Chi Minh City, before being adopted by a world-famous star couple. 

When he first came to America, the boy was very scared and was considered the most “reclusive” member of the Jolie-Pitt family’s six children. He only appears on the streets when he needs to go out with his mother and siblings. Pax Thien was also not happy when meeting the paparazzi. 

Although he has an introverted personality, likes to be quiet and reserved, since his adoptive parents broke up, Pax Thien has proven that he has matured, so that his mother and siblings can lean on him when needed. He appeared with his mother more often, appearing calmer and more confident even though he knew paparazzi were following him.

Currently, Pax Thien is 20 years old, looking like a young man with a strong, masculine appearance. When eldest brother Maddox went to study abroad in Korea, Pax Thien became a support for his mother. His life and work largely revolve around his adoptive mother Angelina Jolie. 

Pax Thien also worked as an assistant in his mother’s film projects. In 2017, he helped the crew capture scenes and behind-the-scenes activities on the set of First They Killed My Father.

When Angelina Jolie directed the movie Without Blood, Pax Thien was assigned to be her mother’s assistant. In 2023, Pax continued to appear on the set of Maria . This is the latest film project that Angelina participates in as the female lead.

According to Angelina, Pax Thien and Zahara actively participated in the process of building her new fashion company – Atelier Jolie. Pax researched designs to decorate the office, Angelina Jolie and Zahara found locations.

Not long ago, Pax Thien, his mother and sister were present at a photo shoot for Vogue magazine. Backstage, the Vietnamese guy held a camera and took his own photos. He is also the one who made the photo shoot video for Vogue magazine.

Besides supporting her mother, Pax Thien also pursues creative work in mixed media and digital media, under the stage name Embtto. His works follow the style of abstraction, created from many media or materials.

Regarding the news that Shiloh wants to reconcile and move back to live with Brad Pitt when she turns 18, Pax Thien has not commented. He has also not appeared before the media.

The last time Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s adopted son was captured by the news media was in January 2024, when he cycled for a walk and drank water on the streets of Los Angeles (USA).
