Angelina Jolie spent Sunday evening, November 8th, having dinner with sons Pax and Knox at Cecconi’s in West Hollywood. The actress, 51, was photographed with Pax, 22, and his younger brother as they left the restaurant.
Knox and his twin sister, Vivienne, turned 18 in July, making all six of Jolie and Brad Pitt’s children adults.
The outing followed a Los Angeles judge’s November 2nd approval of Vivienne’s request to become Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. She is the fourth sibling to legally remove Pitt from her surname, according to TheWrap.
Jolie and Pitt separated in September 2016 and reached a divorce settlement in December 2024, following more than eight years of legal proceedings.

Jolie wore a long brown coat over a white blouse and loose gray trousers, finishing her outfit with sunglasses and an oversized white handbag. Photographs published by Page Six showed her smiling and talking with her sons.
Pax chose a black jacket, dark joggers and a baseball cap, while Knox wore a white T-shirt and brown pants.
The Daily Mail reported that Knox had driven his older brother to the restaurant. The family later waited together at the valet. Knox was photographed behind the wheel, while Jolie appeared to look over the vehicle before their departure.
In January, Getty Images photographed Pax at a Self Custody film event in Park City during Sundance. He also joined Jolie and several siblings for Zahara’s Spelman College graduation in May, as HOLA! reported.
Where the Jolie Siblings’ Name Changes Stand
Knox used “Knox Jolie” on his high school diploma when he graduated from Fusion Academy in Los Angeles in June. An unnamed source told Page Six that he was expected to make the change legally, but no petition has been publicly reported. Knox has not announced a plan or timeline himself.
Vivienne submitted her petition in July, with court documents reviewed by Us Weekly recording no objections. She had previously appeared as Vivienne Jolie in the Playbill for The Outsiders in 2024, while assisting her mother on the Broadway production.
Shiloh filed her own petition in May 2024, the month she turned 18, and received approval that August. Maddox and Zahara’s changes were approved in September 2026. No name-change petition from Pax has been publicly reported.
Jolie Says Her Children Should Have Room to Make Their Own Choices
Jolie addressed her children’s independence in an interview published September 9th by L’Officiel. “They’re definitely individuals,” she said, explaining that she wanted to support their potential while giving them space to build lives separate from hers.
She said Maddox was concentrating on aviation, while Pax was pursuing photography and remained interested in filmmaking. Both have worked on film crews, experience she values for teaching them how different departments operate. She enjoys working alongside them while remaining their mother at home.
Jolie also looked forward to more international work and travel. Her children have encouraged her to return to flying and riding a motorcycle, activities she hopes to make more time for now.
