Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt have made a rare appearance together. The twins and youngest children of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were photographed in California, where they stopped by a bookstore and showed off their distinct fashion styles.

The pair were photographed for the first time together in months, showing how much they've changed in recent years. The two were spotted at a bookstore in Santa Monica, with Knox showcasing his bright orange hair, which he's shown off a couple of times in the past. He wore a lilac sweater that he matched with some sports shorts, some high socks, and grey sneakers. 

Vivienne sported a shorter hairstyle in her natural, dirty blonde hair color. She wore cream colored pants with a blue button-up and brown shoes. She was carrying a couple of books in her hands.

It marks a rare appearance for the siblings, who are at times photographed on their own, supporting their mother, spending time with friends, or going to their workout classes, and more. They're very private, something that Jolie has discussed numerous times in the past. 

Their relationship with Brad Pitt

Following the split between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, many believe there was a rupture within the family. While the family hasn't addressed these claims head-on, the children haven't been spotted with Pitt in years. In the case of Jolie, she's often photographed with all of her kids, taking some of them to different Hollywood events as their support.

Since the couple's split, the children have distanced themselves from Pitt

Last year, a source reported that Pitt was desperate to reunite with his kids. “Brad’s desperate to give it one final shot to get together with them and make amends, even though he knows the chance they'll agree to spend time with him is remote, to say the least,” they said to RadarOnline.

“So far there’s been no word back from the twins or their reps.”

In the past couple of years, some of the children have decided to drop the surname Pitt, including Shiloh, Zahara, Maddox, and Vivienne
