Knox Jolie-Pitt looked so grown up as he headed to a training session in Los Angeles, just days after proving his skills at a Muay Thai competition and clinching the gold medal.
The 17-year-old, who recently celebrated his birthday with his twin sister Vivienne, was suited up in a black T-shirt, white athletic shorts, a pair of beige Crocs, and a red gym bag as he entered his local Muay Thai training center.
Fighting fit
Knox’s hands were wrapped, and his boxing gloves hung from the gym bag during the outing.
Muay Thai is a combat sport from Thailand, involving the use of fists, elbows, knees and shins when fighting an opponent.

Angelina donned a simple black outfit for the event to blend in with the crowd, with her signature blonde locks flowing down past her shoulders.

The couple parted ways in 2016 after 12 years together, and came to blows in court over custody of their children and the fate of their shared French vineyard.
Despite finalizing their divorce in December 2024, Brad appears to have little to no contact with his children and has not been pictured with them since 2016.
A private life

“They’re especially shy, very private people, and they want to be private,” the Maria actress told E! News. “They are the closest people to me and my life, and they’re my close friends. We’re seven very different people, which is our strength.”
During their childhood, she explained to the Sydney Morning Herald that their lack of privacy meant they would likely choose to avoid the spotlight in the future.

“If they do, I hope they act and also do something else,” she continued. “I’d like them to do other things with their lives. We’re a bit nervous about that.”
A talented brood

Meanwhile, Shiloh, 19, has shunned the spotlight and is following her passion for dance, and Vivienne is interested in theatre, even assisting her mother on the Broadway production of The Outsiders in 2024.

“She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.”
