Angelina Jolie’s son Knox joins her on the red carpet

Some of Angelina Jolie’s children are seen quite often on the red carpet, while others tend to avoid the limelight.

The actress’ son Knox, 16, typically falls into the latter category, but made an exception on Sunday night when he accompanied his ultra-famous mom to the Governors Awards in Los Angeles.

Knox, in an elegant tuxedo and bow tie, beamed on his mother’s arm and was almost exactly as tall as her, though she was probably wearing heels. Jolie, as for her, stunned in a textured gold and yellow full-length dress, worn with an opulent choker and drop earrings. Both mother and son seemed happy to be in each other’s company at the prestigious event.

The last time the 16-year-old walked a red carpet was at a British screening of Eternal in October 2021.

Jolie’s children with ex-husband Brad Pitt have made headlines in recent months as they one by one dropped their father’s surname – either legally, professionally or in everyday use.

During a dance ceremony for her sorority at Spelman College, Zahara, 19, announced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie.”

Shiloh, 18, filed paperwork to legally remove “Pitt” from her name earlier this year.

And it was Vivienne, Knox’s twin listed simply as “Vivienne Jolie” in a play for the Broadway play she produced with her mother – for which she made a handful of red carpet appearances.

Jolie and Pitt also share children Maddox, 23, and Pax, 20. The actors announced their divorce in 2016, and Incredible Basterds star reportedly has “virtually no contact” with their grown children.

At the recent premiere of Jolie’s film Maria in Los Angeles, she explained to E! News why we don’t often see her children at public events and why they are unlikely to pursue careers in Hollywood in the future.

“No, I think they are particularly shy, very private people,” she said. “They want to be private.”
