Angelina Jolie opens up in Elle magazine: I never thought I’d have kids

OHMYGOSSIP — Angelina Jolie is opening up! Speaking to Elle magazine, the actress — who raises six kids with partner Brad Pitt — admits she never thought she’d have a family or be in love. “I never thought I’d have children,” she said.

“I never thought I’d be in love, I never thought I’d meet the right person. Having come from a broken home — you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don’t look for them.”

“You get together and you’re two individuals and you feel inspired by each other, you challenge each other, you complement each other, drive each other beautifully crazy,” she said of Pitt.

“After all these years, we have history—and when you have history with somebody, you’re friends in such a very real, deep way that there’s such a comfort, and an ease, and a deep love that comes from having been through quite a lot together.”

Jolie also touched on her famously wild past, insisting her twenties were “misinterpreted as [me] wanting to be rebellious.”

“In fact it wasn’t a need to be destructive or rebellious — it’s that need to find a full voice, to push open the walls around you,” she said..

“You want to be free. And as you start to feel that you are being corralled into a certain life, you kind of push against it. It may come out very strange, it may be interpreted wrong, but you’re trying to find out who you are.”
