Vivienne Jolie-Pitt Is All Grown Up! Meet Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Youngest Daughter

Jolie first announced she was expecting when she debuted her baby bump at the Independent Spirit Awards red carpet. On July 12, 2008, her twins, Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon, were born in Nice, France. Vivienne was born a minute after her brother, weighing exactly 5 lbs.

The family spent time at the Château Miraval in Provence, France, following the birth of the twins. The proud parents spoke to PEOPLE at the time about how their older children were helping out with the newborns.

“[Shiloh] and Z pick out [the twins’] clothes and help change and hold them,” Jolie said. “It’s sweet – they are little mommies.”

She added that the house was “chaos,” with Pitt joking “it’s still a cuckoo’s nest.”

She was named after Jolie’s mother

Vivienne was named after a person close to Jolie’s heart: her deceased mom, Marcheline Bertrand. She died from cancer a little over a year before Vivienne was born, and Jolie chose to honor her with Vivienne’s middle name.

Vivienne lived up to her name, too, with Jolie expressing in August 2023 that her youngest child made her think of her mother.

“Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn’t focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives,” Jolie said in a statement to PEOPLE. “She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.”

She starred alongside her mother in Maleficent

In 2014, Vivienne appeared in her mother’s movie Maleficent as the younger version of Elle Fanning’s Aurora. Jolie said that her daughter, just a toddler at the time of shooting, was the only option since other kids were too scared to film with her as the menacing character.

“We think it’s fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That’s not our goal, for Brad and I, at all,” Jolie told Entertainment Weekly at the time. “But the other three- and four-year-old [performers] wouldn’t come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn’t afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv.”

Jolie later reflected on the experience working with Vivienne on the movie, sharing during a Disney roundtable that the then-toddler was impressive in rehearsals.

“When we did it together, we had a good time. I was actually shocked that she was doing so well she went back and hit her mark! It’s frightening,” Jolie said.

She’s joined her mom on red carpets

Vivienne was an easy choice for Jolie when deciding whether she would assist her, especially since the teen is a big fan of theater. During the red carpet for the opening night of The Outsiders, Jolie told PEOPLE that her daughter was the family’s biggest “theater head.”

“Viv. Definitely Viv,” she said, while The Outsiders book and score creator Justin Levine nodded and added, “Definitely Viv.”

She also took the job “very, very seriously,” with Jolie telling PEOPLE she was a “tough assistant.”

“She’ll correct me,” the proud mom said. “She’ll say, ‘Didn’t you read the memo? We have to do this. We have to go through this.’ “

She and Jolie have matching tattoos

During an interview with CR Fashion Book in September 2024, Jolie revealed that she and Vivienne got matching tattoos to honor their time working on The Outsiders.

“It means so much to us separately and together,” the actress said, sharing that their ink reads “Stay Gold” after one of the play’s original songs.
