Hosted by Maggie Baird, the mother of musical siblings Billie Eilish and Finneas, the event took place at the PIKL Los Angeles pickleball court. Attendees included a star-studded lineup, featuring personalities such as Melanie “Mel” C from the Spice Girls, as well as actors Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard.
Support+Feed, the charity behind the event, was established in 2020 by Baird, reflecting her dedication to social and environmental issues. Jolie, who has long been an advocate for various humanitarian causes, joined the initiative to lend her support and inspire others to participate.
The event was particularly special for Jolie and Pax, who shared a moment away from their usual routines to enjoy a fun-filled evening for a noble cause. Jolie’s involvement in philanthropic activities is not a new commitment; she has been actively engaged in humanitarian work for years, lending her voice to numerous causes and organisations.
Jolie shares Pax, who is now 22 years old, with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. The former couple, who concluded their divorce settlement in 2024 after an eight-year period of legal disputes initiated following their separation in 2016, also have five other children together. The family includes son Maddox, aged 24, daughters Zahara, 21, and Shiloh, 20, in addition to twins Knox and Vivienne, who are both 17.
Recent insights from a source close to Jolie reveal that her role as a mother remains her utmost priority. The actress reportedly finds immense joy and happiness in raising her children, valuing each of their unique personalities and interests. The source highlighted how Jolie encourages her children to embrace who they are and pursue their individual passions.
“Angelina is the kind of mother who is genuinely present for her children during significant life events,” the insider noted. “They often tell her how much they appreciate her, with many declaring that she’s the best mum, which deeply moves her. Motherhood is an emotional journey for her, and it is undoubtedly her greatest joy.”
The evening at the pickleball event was not just about sports; it was about nurturing a sense of community and collaboration for a cause that resonates with many. Jolie’s presence alongside her son underscored the importance of family while also shining a spotlight on pressing social issues.
By attending events like this, celebrities such as Jolie continue to use their platforms to promote awareness and inspire others to contribute meaningfully to various causes, fostering a spirit of change. Ultimately, such gatherings are essential in bringing communities together to tackle critical global challenges.
