It's been a tough few years for Angelina Jolie, with challenges including a high-profile divorce from Brad Pitt and a complex custody battle over their six children. But through it all, the beloved actress has emerged stronger, revealing in a recent interview that she's finally feeling like herself again. In the December/January issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Angelina shared how her children’s resilience has inspired her to grow and become a better person.
How Her Children's Strength Helped Angelina Rediscover Herself
Angelina, now 44, opened up about the incredible strength she's witnessed in her kids. "They've been through so much," she told the magazine. "As a parent, you encourage your children to embrace who they are, to trust their instincts, and to hold onto what they know in their hearts is right. And then, they look back at you and want the same for you." It's clear that the bond between Angelina and her children runs deep, shaping her journey to rediscover her own identity.
Her Kids: The Key to Rediscovering Her True Self
Angelina, the proud mom of Maddox, 18, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and 11-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, emphasized how her children have played a pivotal role in helping her rediscover herself. "Life can sometimes shut down the parts of us that are free, wild, open, and curious," she explained. "Pain or harm can do that. But my children know my true self, and they've helped me find it again and embrace it fully." It's clear that her kids are not just her world—they're her guiding light.

Encouraging Her Kids to Discover Their True Selves
Angelina believes it's crucial for her children to discover who they truly are. "Kids need the space to say, 'This is who I am, and this is what I believe,'" she shared. "We can't shield them from pain, heartache, or loss, but we can teach them how to live through it and come out stronger on the other side." As an Academy Award-winning actress, Angelina's wisdom extends beyond the screen, offering valuable lessons for parents everywhere.
Future Plans and Living Abroad
While Angelina would love to live abroad, she explained that she has to wait until all her children are 18 to make such a move. "They need to be based where their father chooses to live," she said, referring to her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, with whom she filed for divorce in 2016 after two years of marriage. Despite the challenges, Angelina remains committed to her family's well-being.
