Angelina Jolie is determined to give her children the privacy she feels they deserve, despite growing up in the spotlight herself. The Oscar-winning actress shared this sentiment while promoting her latest role as opera singer Maria Callas. Jolie, who has six children with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, emphasized that none of her children currently want to be in front of the camera, as they prefer to lead private lives.

Jolie expressed her hopes for her children, saying, “They weren’t born with privacy, right? So I hope they can have that as they grow.” She added that her eldest daughter, Shiloh, in particular, is extremely private and chooses to keep her personal life out of the public eye, regardless of Jolie’s own career.

While Jolie’s children have mostly stayed away from the camera, they have supported their mother behind the scenes. Maddox and Pax, her eldest sons, worked on Jolie’s biopic in off-camera roles, highlighting their willingness to contribute without seeking the spotlight themselves. Jolie fondly recalled how all her children endured her early attempts at opera singing at home before she honed her craft.

Jolie shared her pride in watching her children grow into independent, working adults, saying, “I love living this life with them and watching them just do and be all the things that they are—uniquely different people.” She clearly cherishes this stage of motherhood, where she can observe her children’s growth and individuality without the pressures of fame affecting them.

Discussing her role as Maria Callas, Jolie compared her love for singing with her love of motherhood, saying, “Motherhood is my happiness. You can take everything else away from me. I could… nothing else matters.” For Jolie, being a mother brings her immense joy and fulfillment, far surpassing any professional achievement.<iframe width=”853″ height=”480″ src Jolie’s 18-year-old daughter Shiloh, often referred to as the family’s designated dancer, exem“““““plifies this desire for privacy and independence.
