Gorgeous boys and always, always so well behaved. I’ve noticed that about all their children. I think it’s lovely how they’re holding onto Angelina. Momma’s boys, the pair of them, lol. Angelina looks stunning here. Just lovely. Brad…well, I’ll just say ‘nice hat’ and move on, lol.

- Amanda on

Wow, Pax is getting tall! He’s catching up to his brother. They all look so stylish together.

- J.M. on

such gorgeous boys. it’s lovely that they give their kids some (more) individual time. i always imagined that would be one of the tougher things for a child in a larger family.

- JM on

Do you think Pax’s coat is a little feminine? JUST kidding ;) Cute boys!

- Reader on

Lovely pic.

- Shirese on

Adorable boys, as always. My number one question: what has happened to the hotness, Brad??? Seriously, he looks awful. Is this for a new role or something?

- Ang on

Cute! I actually like Brad Pitt’s look…reminds me of his role in “Snatch” :)

I think it would be cute to see them out with all 3 boys, maybe once Knox is a little older, and visa versa…all 3 girls.

<3 them :) I can't wait for The Tourist!

- Mia on

Beautiful boys…

Ang, Brad will be filming a movie about a 19th Century Amazon explorer. The “Lost City of Z” has been delayed due to the script, but it does seem like he has had the beard forever.

- Julie on

Angelina looking good.

- sara on

It is amazing how few posts this family gets when Shiloh or the twins are not in the picture.

- cris on

Ang- There were rumors that the beard was for a role….but, from what I’ve read, it turns out that the movie (Lost City of Z) in question doesn’t even have a script yet, and from the sounds of it is nowhere near ready to start shooting. So I’m guessing Brad has the beard because he likes it, plan and simple!

Good for you, Brad, for being comfortable in your own skin and not being afraid to be yourself! :)

- CelebBabyLover on

What a cute family! So grat to see mum Angie and dad Brad out with their oldest boys. Pax has gotetn so tall lately. He´s catching up to his brother. And that coat is just cute. Both boys seem to be very well behaved. Angie looks beautiful as ever and Brad is as handsome as always. I kind of like that beard now that he´s trimmed it a little. Hope to see Princess Zee soon! She´s so adorable!

- Kati on

I love this family; I really do. All 6 of these children are stunning in their own right. At least thus far the eldset four seem to shine through with their own distinct personalities. Hats off to Brad and Angelina for supporting each child’s individuality. Having said that, I have to say…what in the hell has happened to Brad? Honestly! The man looks awful. It seems as though he is always sporting the same clothes – demin and black. He has his shades and that unbecoming goatee. He looks haggered and a shell of the man he used to be – or make that the man he was portreyed to be.

- Momto5 on

Love that hair colour on Angie!

It’s always nice to see how these parents spend time with the kids separately. I know people complain when they leave certain children home but not all kids are into the same things. Plus not all places are appropriate for all ages. I left my toddler at home while my 9yo and I did Olympic activities. Does it mean I love her more than her sister? hah!

- Lorus on

Always a beautiful family. Not because they are all gorgeous but mostly because they do things together and Brad and Ange seem so focused on giving each of their children attention. They’ve got a lot of love and it’s evident.

I like the beard Brad is sporting but then again, I have the hots for Zakk Wylde… Now, before and probably in the future as well even if he does start to resemble Santa if he goes grayscale.

- Hea on

Love Ang’s coat. Pax is really catching up to Mad in height! Brad looks gross.

- m-dot on

cris i totally agree i wonder if its because they are the youngest or the biological children?..anyways Maddox and Pax are adorable!…

- blackrose on

Does anyone remember that interview Brad did way back when (he was married to Jen) and said he wanted seven kids? It’s amazing how he got what he wanted, only one more to go….

- Mary on

Aww They look so happy! (?)

- Desi on

Mia – I, too, would love to see Brad and Angie out with all 3 boys – and the girls – at the same time. How cute would it be to see Mad, Pax and Knox out together. Hopefully our dream comes true sooner than later. And to see Zee, Shi and Viv out together would also be cute. Those sisters are all so beautiful that it really makes me smile. They all are gonna be beauties when they´re adults and the boys will all be really handsome when they grow up.

- Kati on

maybe the beard is covering plastic surgery? maybe he feels insecure and feels like hiding? whatever it is, the beard is not cute.

- Reader on

I think that we are seeing the real Brad. It looks like for many years he was being someone that was just doing what “Hollywood” wanted. Now he is more comfortable in his own skin. I kind of like this side of Brad. It’s more authentic – I believe him more now.

- B on

Brad’s had that beard for a while and I really hope that if it’s for a movie, he shaves it off after. Or the very least, trims it. :(

If not, someone could pin him down like those commercials for Axe shampoo and do it for him, lol! :p

- robinepowell on

I’m starting to think there is no “real Brad”. I think he just morphs into whatever the current woman in his life is like. Many men are like this, so it’s not a shot on him, just an observation.

As for the boys, they are quite handsome. Both of them are getting to be so tall, but where is Maddox’s hat? I love his little hat collection! My eldest daughter is big into hats as well.

- Mary-Helen on

to those saying that it’s amazing that this family gets fewer posts when shiloh and the twins aren’t in the picture, that’s probably because half those posts are usually critical. ever noticed how their adopted kids get criticised a lot less? last shiloh post, a lot of people were pedantically banging on about how shiloh wasn’t dressed to the nines in frilly pink dresses and coated in sugar as all little girls should be.

for the record, brad’s current style doesn’t bother me at all. i don’t see why he should change just because of a generally accepted hollywood image. if this is how he feels comfortable, more power to him. he obviously has more important things going on in his life right now, like taking care of his family. i tihnk he still looks lovely.

- JM on

How is he morphing into Angelina? Brad has been sporting a more casual look and she usually looks very nice and put together. She’s wearing an Escada boots and coat.

Also, it’s kind of sad and creepy for someone to say it’s “their dream” to see a picture of someone else’s kids on an outing.

- Jessica on

It doesn’t have anything to do with Brad needing to comform to the Hollywood Image. He looks like a lumberjack. His beard is gross. Can you imagine how much food and junk must collect in that thing? Celebrity or not, nobody should have that stringy mess on their face.

- Julie on

Jessica, thats tabloid BS they put up pics of him with Gwentyh, Jen and AJ with similar haircuts and/ or haircolors and claim he “morphs” into them . Yet they fail to put up pics of him with a full scraggly beard when he was with Jen(Reader, I guess he was using that beard to cover up of plastic sugery too ,HUH) The tabloids try to imply that Brad is weak and Angie is the boss. That’s why that stupid tabloid say “Why is Angelina turning Shiloh into a boy”yet used pics of Shiloh shopping w/ Brad with Angie nowhere in sight

- Yoco on

oh wow angie looking better andbetter, so classy !
Chris, whats your issue? Every photo of any of them gets lots of comments. The picture was just posted, recently. You will see there will be tons of comments, just give it a time

- Molly on

Since when has CBB allowed so many insults directly to the celebrities to be posted? It’s one thing to say that you don’t like Brad’s beard, but another entirely to go out of your way to say that it’s gross, disgusting, what the he’ll has happened to him, nobody should be able to walk around looking like that, it catches junk food, it probably smells, etc. Just terrible. You wouldn’t pick on a woman on here about how bad she looks due to extra baby weight, would you? Or say something like,”She used to be so pretty before she had the baby. She should definitely consider a tummy tuck, because those stretch marks are horrible! Imagine the infections she must get between the folds of belly skin. Disgusting.” How is this any different? I’m all for everybody being entitled to their own opinions and sharing them, but flat-out insulting someone for their looks? Not so much. That’s what Perez Hilton’s blog is famous for.

- Amanda on

Molly, I was just stating the facts. On this site within the last month here is an example of what I was saying…

193 posts in less than 24 hours with Shiloh…
121 posts in less than 24 hours with Shiloh and the twins…
173 posts in less than 24 hours with Shiloh….

as of now 26 posts in just under 24 hours…

- cris on

Cris, the majority of posts about Shiloh are because of her clothing/haircut as of late. We very rarely see the twins so they’d obviously get more posts.

- KellyJ on

I like the way Brad looks, but more importantly so does he.

- Shirese on

I’m really diggin’ Angelina’s look right here. Very classy and subdued, yet chic. Like her I only like blacks, greys, & browns. I guess I’m boring that way. :)

Nice to see the older boys. I feel like I haven’t seen them in ages. What an absolutely gorgeous family!

- daniela on

Yep, the number of comments on any post generally reflects how controversial it is, not how popular. Most people don’t have an issue with how Mad and Pax are being raised but they do, for some reason, have an issue with Shiloh, so she attracts hundreds of comments. There used to be all that rubbish about her being hidden, or Angelina loving her less. Nowadays people are still running on the same theme, ie Angelina loves Shiloh less and wants to turn her into a boy. Variations on the theme include Angelina is a man-stealing evil woman, Angelina uses her children for publicity, Angelina is controlling Brad, etc. In any case, I think the huge number of comments on Shiloh posts reflects the issue people with have with Angelina and what they perceive her relationship with Shiloh to be, rather than anything else. Maddox and Pax, by comparison, are relatively controversy free.

- actualsize on

Also I don’t care for Brad’s beard either, but I don’t think he was doing the “clean” look just for Hollywood. He’s always been one to change his looks up every once in a while. And I know hiding underneath all that scraggliness is a hottie, so I’m okay with it! :)

- daniela on

Mary-Helen, Brad has toyed with the idea of a scraggly looking beard in the past. I really don’t think it matters which woman he happens to be with at the time.

- actualsize on

Just to note. Even if you look at interviews from 1993, Brad Pitt says “I want six kids”. Go to 15 years later (2008) and he does :)

I was trying to find the exact interview/quote, but I can’t seem to find it.

- Mia on

I love the fact that Brad babysits the kids while Angie is shooting :)

- All Women Stalker on

Jessica, he totally morphed into her. suddenly all blacks and greys etc. I always think that part is funny. It was like presto chango, as my kids would say. Mia, I remember hearing him say things like that but thought he was doing it to sounds good. Like ooooohhhhh Brad Pitt wants a bunch of kids. Not that he didn’t want kids, but the 6 part I think is coincidence.

- Reader on

All women, why would he baby-sit them? They’re his kids. The nannies baby-sit.

- Reader on

I think pics of the boys get less comments because as of right now, there’s nothing controversial about them. Also, we don’t see Knox and Vivienne as much. Anyway, those are two beautiful boys and Pax is getting so ridiculously tall! I’m not a fan of Brad’s beard, especially with those beads he’s been shown sporting, but I love Angie’s look here.

- Luna on

He was actually saying 7 kids, even when he was with Gwyneth. I also remember Oprah interview with Jen Aniston when she asked her that she read that Brad wants 7 kids, and Jen said – only if he hires mail order bride! So, I guess, he always wanted a big family! Maddox and Pax are growing up fast.

- maya on

I must be hanging around the wrong men but I don’t know of any adult men that wear much color. He’s wearing blue jeans, a black jacket and a fedora. What color would you expect those to be? Day-glo orange? I don’t recall him ever wearing much color even with Jen.

He looks tired but happy. Like any guy would with 6 young kids. I personally don’t care for the beard but he’s had them in the past so I don’t think it’s an Angelina thing.

And let’s face it, he’s said for at least 10+ years that he wanted a big family. I remember him saying it when he was with Gwenyth. I’m happy he finally found someone who wanted the same thing.

Jen is nice and all but let’s face it, she’s never going to put her career on hold long enough to have kids. If he were still with her, he’d have no kids and that would be a shame as he seems like he’s a great dad and he loves being one so much.

- LoriC on

LoriC- I agree! My father wears lots of brown (it’s his favorite color)….and not a lot of other colors. Most of the other men I know (including my brother, who tends to wear mostly blacks, whites, greys, etc. just like Brad!) also tend to wear neutral colors. :)

And I agree that Brad has never been one to wear a lot of color. :)

- CelebBabyLover on

actualsize- I agree! In fact, it’s also only recently that posts of photos of Zahara haven’t been getting a lot of comments. Until very recently, people were complaining about her hair not being styled. Now that it usually is, naturally people aren’t complaining. :)

- CelebBabyLover on

Angelina looks so beautiful and I love Maddox’s jacket!

- Akira on

Yeah my dad wears a lot of black, navy, gray, and white, sometimes blue…that’s about it. Not much color. My brother wears a lot of black, and green…that’s about it LOL. Almost every guy friend I have wears just black, so I think that’s pretty standard.

Even if you look at kids clothing, like boys, its usually black, red, blue, white, gray…pretty standard/darker colors or shades. Vs. Women/Girl’s clothing is every single color of the rainbow.

Of course there are some men’s clothing lines that are every color (like Lacoste shirts and such), but standard…not much range in color.

- Mia on

“Jen is nice and all but let’s face it, she’s never going to put her career on hold long enough to have kids. If he were still with her, he’d have no kids and that would be a shame as he seems like he’s a great dad and he loves being one so much.”

Jen has said so many times that she DOES want children. Why do so many people criticize her for not having kids with Brad? Did it ever occur to you that she didn’t have kids with him because they were having marital problems? That would be the responsible thing to do.

- asdas on

“All women, why would he baby-sit them? They’re his kids. The nannies baby-sit.”

I agree! Men don’t “baby-sit” their own kids.
