The chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on-screen transcended their roles, becoming a real-life phenomenon. Their relationship started during Mr. & Mrs. Smith, with their connection growing into one of Hollywood’s most captivating love stories. Over 12 years, they adopted and had children, and even sold Shiloh’s first photo for $14 million, donating it to UNICEF. Shiloh, now 18, defied norms by requesting to be called «John» instead of her birth name.
The chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie often went beyond their roles on screen, transcending into real-life dynamics. Their relationship blossomed during the filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2004, creating one of Hollywood’s most iconic couples, affectionately known as «Brangelina.» Their on-screen connection led to a real-life romance, capturing the attention of the entire world.
Angelina openly shared, «Thanks to the film, we were brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we discovered this strange friendship and partnership that suddenly emerged… Everything we had together, we just found a lot of joy in it and real teamwork. We just became kind of a couple.»
This partnership thrived for 12 years, during which time they adopted three children — Maddox, Zahara, and Pax — and had three biological children: Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox.
The world eagerly followed their journey, especially when the news of Angelina’s pregnancy with Shiloh caught the media’s attention. Paparazzi relentlessly followed every step of the couple, turning their future child into an instant celebrity.
The New York Magazine humorously commented, «Never has the world waited so long for a baby.» When Shiloh was born on May 27, 2006, the couple decided to sell her first photo for a whopping $14 million, which they generously donated to UNICEF. «Celebrating the joy of the birth of our daughter, we acknowledge that 2 million children born each year in developing countries die on their first day of life… These children can be saved, but only if governments worldwide make it a priority,» the couple stated.
Now, Shiloh, who is approaching 18, has spent much of her life in the public eye. She has inherited many qualities from her famous parents, growing into a vibrant personality. However, her unconventional approach to self-expression has stunned many.
She requested to be called «John» instead of her given name, a decision that surprised both the media and the public. «She has always been true to herself,» Brad Pitt shared during an interview. 💫
