Angelina Jolie has opened up about raising her six children, saying she wants them to build lives of their own rather than feel pressured to follow her career or choices.
In a recent interview with L’Officiel, the Hollywood star spoke about her parenting philosophy and her pride in seeing her children develop as independent individuals.
Jolie shares Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 20, and 18-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with her former husband, actor Brad Pitt.
The Maleficent star said one of the most important responsibilities of a parent is knowing when to step back and allow children to discover their own potential. She explained that parents should support their children while recognising that they have separate lives and ambitions.
Jolie said she is proud that her children are choosing their own paths and wants to continue encouraging their individuality rather than influencing their decisions.
As her children move further into adulthood, the actress also revealed that she is looking forward to dedicating more time to her own interests and humanitarian work.
Jolie said she hopes to travel more, return to riding her motorcycle and spend more time working directly in the field. She also expressed an interest in living outside the United States and described her future lifestyle as potentially “nomadic for a while.”
The actress said her children are supportive of the idea and would like to see her explore the world while pursuing her humanitarian commitments.
Jolie also plans to become more involved in hands-on projects through her foundation in Cambodia. She indicated that she does not currently see herself maintaining a permanent base as she enters this new phase of life.
Meanwhile, Jolie’s relationship with Pitt remains a subject of public interest following their highly publicised separation. The former couple’s six children have also largely maintained their distance from their father in recent years.
Several of their children have taken legal steps concerning the use of Pitt’s surname, further highlighting the complicated family dynamics surrounding the former Hollywood couple.
