With Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitts’ ongoing custody battle following their 2016 divorce, fans are more invested than ever in the lives of their children.
Together, the former couple share six children: Maddox, 20, Zahara, 16, Pax, 17, Shiloh, 15, Vivienne, 13, and Knox, 13. Along with their parents’ legal woes, the kids are also finding themselves in the spotlight more as they attend movie premeires and other events with their famous mom.
For any fans who haven’t been following the family for long--or even those who have--let’s get to know the ladies of the family, Jolie’s three daughters: Zahara, Shiloh, and Vivienne.

The 16-year-old has helped inspire her parents’ charity work, which includes The Jolie-Pitt Foundation’s creation of the Zahara Program and the Zahara Children’s Center, launched to treat drug-resistant tuberculosis and provide further research on the disease in Ethiopia. Zahara has also started to follow in her parents’ footsteps, starring alongside her mom in Kung Fu Panda 3 as the voice of Meng Meng.

Angelina opened up about her daughter’s personality in a 2010 Vanity Fair interview, calling the then-5-year-old, “hysterically funny.”
“Shiloh’s hysterically funny, one of the goofiest, most playful people you’ll ever meet,” she said. “Goofy and verbal, the early signs of a performer.”

Just like some of her siblings, the teenager has starred opposite her mother in a few films, which includes her role in Maleficent as a young Princess Aurora.
During an interview with BBC Radio 4 back in 2016, Jolie revealed that Vivienne had a strong interest in learning Arabic, revealing that all six of her children were learning new languages.
“I asked them what languages they wanted to learn and [Shiloh]’s learning Khmer, which is the Cambodian language, Pax is focusing on Vietnamese, Mad has taken to German and Russian, [Zahara]’s speaking French,” she said. “Vivienne really wanted to learn Arabic and Knox is learning sign language.”
