Angelina Jolie Opens Up About Her Children And Their Relationships

Although being a mother can be overwhelming, let alone parenting six children. Nevertheless, Angelina Jolie enjoys her time watching the kids grow, particularly how they inspire each other.

The "Maleficent" star, who raises 20-year-old Maddox, 17-year-of Pax, 16-year-old Zahara, 15-year-old Shiloh, and 13-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, opened up about life as a mother and how she brings up her unique children.

In PEOPLE'S 2021 Kindness Issue, Jolie said she is watching as her children become their best. The 46-year-old said her kids are "pretty great people" who have had a significant impact on one another. 

Jolie said she is not "the head of anything" and applies a sincere and human approach to raising them. The mother-of-six said she remains curious about her children's personalities in their upbringing.

As for her priorities when raising them, Jolie said it is to "be there to support and develop all the different aspects of who they are."

The "Eternals" star explained that she has six very individual human beings at home, making her excited about their various stages and emotions.

Jolie said parents' job is to help children figure out who they are, and this can only be achieved by being enthusiastic about developing with them.

The filmmaker admitted being tough on herself about her parenting skills, adding that she is not perfect.

She said every day makes her more aware of everything she does wrong and questions herself if she is doing things right.

Despite this, the mother-of-six acknowledged the healing power of her children's kindness, adding that they have done many loving things for her.

Jolie might have fans glued to their TV and begging for more, but she will have to do extra to earn the hearts of her kids.

According to the actress, the children did not hold back in expressing their feelings about the golden spandex suit, which her character wears in the movie "Eternals."

The Blast reported that the actress arrived on the carpet for the premiere of the Marvel production with five of her children except for Pax.

While speaking to ET in October, Jolie said her children were not pleased with her costume, though they had not seen the movie. When she remarked if they would love to see her in the dress, their response was:

"What do you do for a living? What are you? Get back in your robe."

"Eternals" is directed by Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao. The film also stars Salma Hayek, Kumail Nanjiani, and Kit Harington. The upcoming movie will be available at theaters on November 5.

Jolie mostly makes the headlines these days for news about work and family. However, speculations have been spreading about a romantic relationship with Abel Tesfaye known professionally as The Weeknd.

The Blast reported that the dating rumors started after they were spotted at dinner in the summer. The pair was photographed by paparazzi while leaving Hollywood hotspot, Giorgio Baldi, on June 30.

Jolie had stopped by E! 's "Daily Pop" show while doing press rounds for the upcoming "Eternals" movie. Host Justin Sylvester tried to get the movie star to open up about The Weeknd.

Sylvester asked if Jolie's kids were more excited by her role in the superhero film or her friendship with the R&B singer. The filmmaker's response was that her kids were excited about the upcoming film. 

Jolie and The Weeknd have reportedly clarified that they are "just friends" but close friends still believe there is something more happening between them.
