Angelina Jolie had her youngest son Knox as her date at the 2024 Governors Awards on Sunday. Knox is Jolie and her ex-husband Brad Pitt’s son.
The 16-year-old looked dapper in a black tuxedo and bore a striking resemblance to his father as he made a rare appearance at a public event with his mother.
The star-studded event saw Oscar contenders like Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Daniel Craig, Jennifer Lopez, Andrew Garfield, and Jennifer Lawrence making a splash, marking the first major campaign stop of the year.

The mother-son duo turned heads at the Ray Dolby Ballroom, where Knox made a style statement in a black tuxedo that complemented his mom Angelina Jolie’s shimmering gold and silver gown. Jolie, often accompanied by one of her daughters, was seen sharing a laugh and bonding with her son as they posed for photos on the red carpet.
Jolie was seen promoting her recent biopic Maria, which chronicles the life of opera legend Maria Callas. The film has already earned critical acclaim at various film festivals and is now generating Oscar buzz as one of the front-runners. Directed by Jackie filmmaker Pablo Larraín, the movie has left a lasting impression on audiences with its powerful portrayal.
At the event, the mother-son duo interacted with a star-studded guest list, including Hollywood heavyweights like Pamela Anderson, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, and Elizabeth Olsen, among many others.
Brad Pitt’s strained relationship with kids amid legal war
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s lengthy legal battle has had its effect on their six children. Jolie earlier made serious allegations against Pitt, including an incident on a private jet in which she claimed he physically abused her in front of their children and used foul language.
Meanwhile, Pitt saw multiple children, including his biological kids with Jolie-Shiloh and Vivienne-opt to drop his last name, choosing instead to take their mother’s surname. Pitt and Jolie share six kids: Maddox, 22; Pax, 20; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; and twins Vivienne and Knox, 16.
According to a report in Life & Style, the actor was reportedly planning to settle in Europe and leave Hollywood after news of his kids removing his name surfaced.
“Brad has always considered LA home for so long, it’s where his production company is based and so much of his real estate, plus he’s always felt like it was the best place to connect with his kids and give them some stability,” an insider informed the outlet.
