Zahara isn't the only one of Angelina and ex-husband Brad Pitt's six kids to be attending college; eldest son Maddox, 21, is currently studying at Yonsei University in Seoul. The pair's second eldest son, Pax, 18, graduated from high school in 2021, while Shiloh, 16, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 14, are still in school.
