Angelina Jolie, Son Pax Join Star-Studded Pickleball Event Supporting Food Security

Angelina Jolie made a rare public appearance in Los Angeles, trading movie premieres for pickleball paddles as she joined her son Pax for the Support+Feed Pickleball Invitational and Game Night. Wearing an all-black outfit and accessories, Jolie leaned into the competitive spirit while Pax played energetically, with Shiloh Jolie also cheering from the sidelines. The charity event, organized by Support+Feed, was created to tackle food insecurity and promote environmentally sustainable food systems. Maggie Baird, the nonprofit’s founder, and her husband Patrick O’Connell attended and were photographed with Jolie, alongside other entertainment figures including Melanie C, Kristen Bell, and Dax Shepard. The outing offered another glimpse into Jolie’s close bond with her children after the conclusion of her long-running divorce proceedings. The appearance also came shortly after Maddox—another of Jolie and Brad Pitt’s children—legally dropped “Pitt” from his surname, reflecting a wider family trend.
Several outlets noted Jolie had just celebrated her 51st birthday shortly before the pickleball appearance, with the event described as coming “last week” / “recently celebrating her 51st birthday.”
Jolie’s all-black look was described with more specific styling details than in the summary—reporting a satin top and matching trousers, plus “leather shoes” (and wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses).
Beyond cheering from the sidelines, Shiloh Jolie was reported to be at the games “alongside a friend,” adding additional context to who was with her during the event.
One report provided further timeline context on the divorce: outlets said the Jolie–Pitt divorce settlement was finalized in 2024, ending “more than eight years” of legal proceedings after their 2016 separation.
