Angelina Jolie is notoriously private but has given an incredible insight into her life away from the spotlight in a new interview with Vogue.
The Girl, Interrupted actress opened up about her family and six children, who she shares with ex-husband Brad Pitt, as well as reflecting on her own personal transition.
She shared: "I'm still understanding who I am at 48. I guess I’m in transition as a person. I don’t feel like I’ve been myself for a decade, in a way, which I don’t want to get into."
Angelina went on to add of her family unit: "We had a lot of healing to do, we’re still finding our footing.” The Hollywood star loves nothing more than being a mom and her main focus is her six children.
She told the publication: "I was 26 when I became a mother. My entire life changed. Having children saved me — and taught me to be in this world differently.

Angelina is mom to Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and 15-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

"It's being excited to figure out: who is this person you live with? To separate yourself from your desires for that person."

During an interview on BBC Radio 4's Women's Hour, she said: "All the kids are learning different languages. "I asked them what languages they wanted to learn and Shi is learning Khmai, which is a Cambodian language, Pax is focusing on Vietnamese, Mad has taken to German and Russian, Z is speaking French, Vivienne really wanted to learn Arabic, and Knox is learning sign language."

The 15-year-old is a huge fan of musical theater and has been helping her mom on her latest project, transforming The Outsiders into a Broadway adaptation. A source close to the actress revealed to HELLO!: "Angelina is excited about this new venture. She believes this is a musical for all ages, but particularly resonates with young people.
