Angelina Jolie and Daughter Vivienne Share a Special Bond Through Matching Tattoos

The mother-daughter duo have found a unique way to celebrate their connection, with tattoos that carry deep personal meaning.

Angelina Jolie has always shared a close bond with her six children, and her relationship with her 16-year-old daughter Vivienne is no exception. Recently, the Hollywood icon revealed that she and Vivienne share matching tattoos, a symbol of their connection and shared experiences. The tattoos, which read “Stay Gold,” were inspired by The Outsiders, the Broadway musical Jolie produced, based on S.E. Hinton’s classic novel.

“I got ‘Stay Gold’ with my daughter Viv during our time with The Outsiders,” Jolie told CR Fashion Book. “It means so much to us separately and together.” The quote, a reference to a song from the show, holds personal significance for both mother and daughter, serving as a lasting reminder of their journey together on the project.

Vivienne, who joined Jolie as her assistant on The Outsiders, has been a constant presence at major events surrounding the musical. At the show’s opening night in April, the duo made a striking appearance—Jolie in a sophisticated ensemble and Vivienne dressed on-theme in a navy utilitarian jumpsuit and Converse sneakers. Their bond was clear as they celebrated the production, but it was the revelation of their shared ink that truly underscored their deep connection.

This isn’t the first time Jolie has shared tattoos with her children. In her interview, she also mentioned that she shares a bird tattoo with “some” of her other kids, though the exact number and meaning remain personal to their family.

Jolie, who shares six children with ex-husband Brad Pitt—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox—has always emphasized the importance of supporting her children’s passions. Vivienne’s involvement in The Outsiders reflects this. A source told Page Six in 2023, “Angelina has been taking her daughter Vivienne to the theater since she was a little girl. She wants to ensure the team is listening and working with young people every step of the way.”

For Jolie, Vivienne’s creative spirit reminds her of her own late mother, actress and producer Marcheline Bertrand. “She isn’t focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives,” Jolie said in a press statement, highlighting Vivienne’s thoughtfulness and dedication.

As the mother-daughter pair continue to navigate the world of theater and film, their matching tattoos serve as a testament to the strong and unique bond they share—one that goes beyond the spotlight and into a deeply personal connection.
