Now, here's something truly sweet! Angelina Jolie made her way to Cleveland, Ohio, with her eldest child, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, for an unforgettable birthday celebration. The mother-son duo enjoyed a jam-packed day on Monday, August 5, marking Maddox's 18th birthday in style. Imagine the excitement for both of them as they navigated through this special day together.
Angelina, who’s a vibrant 44-year-old, spent some cherished time with her firstborn during her visit to her dear friend Loung Ung. To make this birthday unforgettable, the star of "Maleficent" and her best-selling author buddy organized a lunch at one of Cleveland's most iconic spots, the Market Garden Brewery. Surrounded by friends, Maddox was the center of attention, celebrating his transition into adulthood. However, it's worth noting that dad Brad Pitt wasn't around for the occasion.

A Day of Exploration and Celebration
After savoring a delightful meal at the brewery — which happens to be owned by Loung’s husband, Mark Premier — Angelina and Maddox continued their adventure. They stopped by the Ohio City Farm, a sprawling urban farm that serves as a hub for The Refugee Response Program. This remarkable initiative offers jobs and training in agriculture to refugees settling in the Cleveland area. The day wasn't over yet, as they also visited the Cleveland Museum of Art, making it a truly memorable outing.

Loung Ung Shares Heartfelt Memories
Loung, a passionate human-rights activist and lecturer, couldn’t help but share her joy on Facebook. She posted some sweet pictures from the outing with Angelina and Maddox, celebrating this significant milestone in Maddox’s life. Alongside the photos, Loung wrote a touching message that highlighted the special bond she shares with the family.
“Angelina and Maddox visited me in Cleveland this past week to toast Maddox’s upcoming 18th birthday!” Loung gleefully wrote in the caption. “We started with lunch at Market Garden Brewpub and a visit to Ohio City Farm/The Refugee Response Program and Cleveland Museum of Art! I met Maddox when he was just a year old and today he turns eighteen and is going off to college! So proud! Happy Birthday, Maddox!”

Maddox's Exciting Journey Ahead
This celebratory trip aligns with the recent news that Maddox will be embarking on an academic adventure in South Korea, where he'll study biochemistry at Yonsei University. According to an insider, Maddox had other university options but chose Yonsei. “He has been studying the Korean language and takes lessons multiple times a week to prepare,” the source revealed to People.
Angelina will soon be accompanying Maddox to South Korea as the school year begins this month. Although she’ll miss seeing him as much when he’s away, she’s incredibly proud of her eldest son. For Angelina, who also shares Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne with Brad Pitt, watching Maddox step into adulthood is a proud moment indeed.
As Maddox begins this new chapter, we can't wait to see all the incredible things he'll accomplish in the years ahead!
