In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Angelina Jolie revealed the profound impact her six children have had on her life, emphasizing their unique bond. Jolie, still healing from her 2016 divorce from Brad Pitt, referred to her children as her closest friends, highlighting the strength derived from their diversity. She acknowledged the need for healing in their family journey.

The divorce, following accusations of abusive behavior by Pitt, marked a turning point for the Jolie family. Despite the challenges, Jolie has guarded her family’s privacy, residing in Los Angeles, and expressed a desire to move, seeking authenticity outside Hollywood.

While Pitt invests time mending relationships with most children, his connection with Maddox remains strained. In a Vogue interview, Jolie credited her children with saving her, emphasizing their transformative role in her life. Reflecting on their relationship, she described her parenting as ‘honest’ and ‘human,’ underscoring the profound effect her children have on each other.
