Angelina Jolie, one of the world's greatest stars and Hollywood icons, has cultivated a multifaceted image. Throughout her career, Jolie has been on the world's most prestigious red carpets and events, while also making it her mission to devote her time to humanitarian causes, frequently photographed at refugee camps and locations of turmoil. While we've seen her tackling all sorts of extreme roles, we've never seen her playing a sport with her kids.

In a rare Los Angeles outing, Jolie and her son Pax, 22, teamed up for the Support+Feed Pickleball Invitational and Game Night on June 6.

The charity event, organized by the non-profit Support+Feed, brought together a constellation of celebrities to raise money for food security and promote more sustainable food systems.

True to her signature aesthetic, Jolie arrived in an all-black ensemble made up of a loose camisole-style top paired with wide-leg trousers. She accessorized it all with oversized sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat.

Pax matched her low-key palette in a white t-shirt, brown corduroy pants, a tan cap, and white sneakers. The two were photographed laughing together and enjoying each other's company as they competed in their match.Also in attendance were Shiloh Jolie and her friend and fellow dancer Keoni Rose, along with Melanie C, Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, and Billie Eilish, and Finneas.

While Angelina and Pax played together, Shiloh played with Keoni Rose, with whom she has developed a close and much-discussed friendship.

The two have been photographed on outings together, attending dance classes and performances, and spending time in Los Angeles. While the nature of their relationship is a matter of public speculation, with many believing that they're dating, what is clear is that they share a deep passion for their craft and enjoy each other's company.

Angelina Jolie's children have each been carving out their own paths. Zahara recently graduated from Spelman College with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology; Knox continues to pursue his love of Muay Thai; and Shiloh has built a name for herself as a dancer, making her debut on a music video. Jolie has been a constant presence along the way, showing up to sporting events, scholastic milestones, and performances.

Meanwhile, the family's gradual and public distancing from the Pitt surname has continued. Shiloh legally changed her name to Shiloh Jolie in 2024. Vivienne was credited as Vivienne Jolie while she worked as a production assistant on the Broadway musical "The Outsiders" that same year. And Maddox, 24, is now going by Maddox Jolie professionally, a change that was reflected on the credits of "Couture," Jolie's most recent film. Maddox served as the third assistant director on the production.

Jolie and Brad Pitt finalized their divorce in late 2024, after years of legal proceedings and back and forth following their 2016 separation. As the family moves forward and her children step into their own identities and career paths, Jolie remains at the center of it all.
