Angelina Jolie will never get tired of being a mother. The actress, who will soon be seen as one of the most iconic opera singers of all time, Maria Callas, recently sat down with Good Morning America for an interview, in which she compared Callas’ passion for singing to being a mother. Did it with my love. His six children.
During the GMA interview, host Michael Strahan asked the Maleficent star if “there’s anything in (her) life that compares to (Mariah’s) love for singing.” Jolie, without a minute’s delay, told him it would be “motherhood.” The actress said, being a mother is her happiness. “You can take everything else away from me. Nothing else matters.”
Jolie shares all six of her children—Maddox, 23; Pax, 20; Zahra, 19; Shiloh, 18; and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with ex-husband Brad Pitt.
His eldest two sons worked with him behind the scenes at Maria, which he said was a wonderful experience. He also recently collaborated with Vivienne on the Broadway show The Outsiders. However, none of her children want to pursue a career in showbiz that would require them to be on camera, the actress revealed, perhaps because the spotlight was on them at a very young age given their parents’ high-profile romance. But she had come.
“They’re quite private,” Jolie said of her children, citing daughter Shiloh as the most private of them all.
Jolie wished for her children, saying, “They weren’t born with privacy, so I hope they get that privacy as they grow up.”
Over the weekend, the Mr. & Mrs. Smith actress brought her youngest son as her date to the 2024 Governors Awards, marking her first red-carpet appearance in three years. Jolie was reportedly so proud to have Knox by her side that she herself asked her mother if he could support her in the work.
Although the mother-son duo spent a lot of time together at the event, a report from Page Six reveals that Pitt wasn’t too thrilled with their joint public appearance, as he felt Jolie would be upset with him just days after the judge’s decision. She was trying to prove her point to him. The case of the estranged couple’s French winery Chateau Miraval will go to trial.
Pitt has been estranged from his children since Jolie filed for divorce in 2016. Following their bitter split, all of their children have sided with their mother, and several of the couple’s adult children have even decided to drop Pitt’s surname from their surnames.
