In an interview with Vogue, Angelina Jolie expressed the importance of acknowledging and respecting the cultural roots of her three adopted children. She discussed how raising both adopted and biological siblings requires navigating different backgrounds and honoring each child’s heritage. Jolie emphasized the need for openness and sharing in discussing adoption and orphanage, which are positive words in her household. For Jolie, each child brings a unique beauty to their family, and celebrating diversity is crucial.
In an interview with Vogue, Angelina Jolie shared her perspective on the significance of recognizing the roots of her three adopted children. As a proud mother, Jolie expressed her inability to speak about pregnancy but added that she could vividly describe the journey of finding her children and the emotions that came with it. She also emphasized the beauty of the mystery that comes with adopting children from different races and foreign lands, describing it as a precious gift that enriches the family’s experience.
Jolie has her hands full with six children, including three biological children named Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne who are 12 and 11 years old respectively. However, before having her biological kids, Jolie became a mother to Maddox, Pax, and Zahara through the process of adoption, who are now aged 18, 16, and 15 respectively. Jolie strongly believes that non-biological children should not lose touch with their roots and should be honored and learned from. She considers it an amazing journey to share with them.
In 2017, she emphasized the importance of non-biological children staying connected to their roots. Additionally, during the same interview, the actress discussed her decision to end her marriage with Brad Pitt, whom she met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004, for the well-being of their children. She stated that it was the right choice and that her focus remains on their healing. However, some individuals have taken advantage of her silence, leading to false information being spread about her children in the media. Despite this, she reminds her children that they know their own truth and possess strong minds. She proudly describes her children as six brave and resilient individuals.
Jolie recently shared with Vogue that she made the decision to prioritize the well-being of her family. The former power couple, who had been together for 10 years, tied the knot in August 2014. However, Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016 following an alleged argument between Brad and their son Maddox on a private jet en route to Los Angeles. Brad was later cleared of any wrongdoing in November of that year. As a result of the divorce settlement, Angelina was granted physical custody of all six children, while Brad continues to have agreed-upon therapeutic visits with them.
Angelina Jolie has been focusing on the healing process of her children amidst the divorce. However, Brad Pitt requested more time with their kids and an emergency hearing to seal all documents related to the case. In 2017, they agreed to keep their court documents private but went back to court in 2018 after a judge ordered Angelina to repair Brad’s relationship with the kids. Brad was given more time with the children, and Angelina accused him of not paying meaningful child support, which he denied. They finally reached a custody agreement for their children and are sorting out their finances and property, including their French winery. Brad filed paperwork for appointing a private judge for their discussions, and they agreed to pay for the judge’s time. The former couple also agreed on a traditional approach to their children’s education.
During her hiatus from acting, Angelina Jolie ended her 12-year relationship with Brad Pitt, resulting in their six children being primarily with her during the pandemic at her $25 million home, which is only minutes away from Brad’s mansion. Recently, Brad threw a party attended by all of their children, including Maddox, who had previously been estranged from his father. Despite their highly publicized divorce proceedings in 2016, Brad has been working hard to mend the rifts in his family and considers his children to be the most important aspect of his life. According to sources, Brad and Angelina have been getting along much better since agreeing on custody arrangements for their children, and they have come a long way in their relationship.
Looking back in time, we see the famous actors who first crossed paths on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004, captured in a photo.
