Angelina Jolie makes rare comments about children

This Thursday (21), actress Angelina gave a rare interview to the program “Good Morning America”. The artist shared details about her personal life, focusing on her relationship with her six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne. The 49-year-old actress, who was married to Brad Pitt from 2014 to 2016, revealed how her children, now aged between 16 and 23, have been growing up and how she tries to respect their privacy.

Angelina highlighted that motherhood is her greatest source of happiness. According to her, it is above everything in her life. When asked about the aspects of her life that she loves most, she explained that motherhood is what makes her happiest, mentioning that she would be willing to give up everything else, as nothing is as important as being a mother.

The actress also reflected on her children's desire for privacy, explaining that although they were exposed to the public from an early age, she hopes that as they mature, they will be able to live with more privacy. Shiloh, her oldest biological daughter, was specifically mentioned by Jolie as the most reclusive, noting that she prefers to keep her personal life out of the spotlight.

Furthermore, when discussing her children's future careers, the muse revealed that none of them seem interested in pursuing a career in entertainment. She explained that they have diverse interests, but they all share a desire to stay away from the cameras and the public spotlight.

Case against Brad Pitt

However, while focusing on the well-being of her children and promoting her work on the film Maria Callas (2024), a recent legal issue involving her name has become publicly highlighted. In 2016, Angelina Jolie accused Brad Pitt of physical assault during a private flight, in which she and two of her children were allegedly attacked by the actor. The case led to an investigation by the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services, but authorities closed the investigation without filing any formal charges against the actor.

In response, Angelina Jolie filed a lawsuit in 2022 to force the FBI and Department of Justice to release information about the investigation. She argued that details of the case should be made accessible, believing this would help clarify events. However, her request was denied by the court and the actress decided to withdraw the legal action in September 2024, without providing any further details about why she decided to withdraw.

Although this subject was not directly addressed in the interview, it became an important part of the ex-couple's story, especially considering the legal losses that the actress has suffered in her legal battle against her ex-husband.
