“I was very worried about my mother, growing up—a lot. I do not want my children to be worried about me,” she says.

Jolie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand and her father Jon Voight, divorced when the actress was young. “I think it’s very important to cry in the shower and not in front of them. They need to know that everything’s going to be all right even when you’re not sure it is.”

Many cited the busy schedules of Jolie and Pitt as the possible reason of separation.
She says it was nothing like that and their lifestyle “was” never a problem.

“Our lifestyle was not in any way a negative. That is and will remain one of the wonderful opportunities we are able to give our children… They’re six very strong-minded, thoughtful, worldly individuals. I’m very proud of them.”

Angelina and Brad have six children together, Maddox, Pax Thien, Zahara Marley, Shiloh Nouvel, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.

“We care for each other and care about our family, and we are both working towards the same goal,” she continues. But Jolie does admit that by the summer of 2016 “things got bad”. “I didn’t want to use that word… Things became ‘difficult’.”

After her separation from Pitt, Jolie became closer to her father and the two have now reconciled. “He’s been very good at understanding they needed their grandfather at this time. He knows kind of the rule: Don’t make them play with you. Just be a cool grandpa who’s creative, and hang out and tell stories and read a book in the library.”

Currently on a break from work, she has taken time off to be a better homemaker and mother.
