In a recent interview at the premiere of the film Maria in Los Angeles, 49-year-old Angelina Jolie shared her thoughts on raising her children and her expectations for their future. The famous actress revealed that she does not expect any of her six children to follow in the footsteps of their parents and become actors. “They are all very shy, private people who love their privacy,” Jolie explained. This reflects her approach to raising her children in an environment where they can grow and develop freely, without the pressure of their family’s fame.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have six children: Maddox (23 years old), Pax Thiên (20 years old), Zahara (19 years old), Shiloh (18 years old), and twins Knox and Vivienne (16 years old). Each child has their own unique personality and interests, which has led Jolie to strive to create a peaceful and loving home for them.
Recently, Angelina made the decision to drop the lawsuit against her ex-husband Brad Pitt, in which she accused him of verbally abusing and physically assaulting one of their children on a private jet in 2016. This decision is seen as an important step in healing the wounds of the family, allowing her children to move past the trauma of the past.
As stated by a close source, in recent years, Angelina Jolie has worked hard to rebuild her life and create a happy and stable environment for her children. “Despite facing numerous challenges and struggles, Angelina is very proud of her children’s resilience and strength. She wants them to live in a positive, peaceful environment,” the source said. Jolie also shared that being stuck in the past is not something she desires; instead, she is focusing on the future, her family, her work, and what truly brings her happiness.
In September, Angelina Jolie shared a special memory with her daughter Vivienne when the two worked together on the Broadway play The Outsiders. The pair got matching tattoos of the phrase “Stay Gold”—a meaningful symbol for both of them. “It’s a very special tattoo for me and Vivienne. We worked together on the play, and ‘Stay Gold’ is the title of a song in it. It represents the bond and love we share,” Jolie said.
Moments like these show the strong bond between Jolie and her children, highlighting that she is enjoying the simple joys of family life, not only as a mother but as a companion in each of her children’s growth journey.
