Angelina Jolie’s Son Officially Renamed Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt
It’s official — the latest addition to Angelina Jolie’s and Brad Pitt’s family, Pax Thien, who was adopted by Jolie from Vietnam in March, is now a Jolie-Pitt.
A Santa Monica, California court approved the name change — from Jolie to Jolie-Pitt — on May 31. Because of adoption laws in Vietnam, Jolie and Pitt, seen here at Cannes last month, had been unable to jointly adopt Pax Thien back in March. Vietnamese law prohibits adoption by unmarried couples.Â
Pax Thien, who is three years old, joins siblings Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh-Nouvel, 1. The name Pax Thien means “beautiful sky” in Vietnamese. The boy had been living in an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City since his birth.
