Angelina Jolie: I'm always honest with my kids

Actress says her children can talk to her about anything

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have no plans for marriage

Angelina Jolie has revealed that she and partner Brad Pitt are always open and truthful with their children.

The actress wants to raise her family to be upfront and honest.

‘We tell them everything,’ she says. ‘We’re honest with them. My mother was that way with me.’

Angelina, 33, and Brad, 44, have 6 children – adopted kids Maddox, 7, Pax Thien, 4, Zahara, 3, and biological children Shiloh, 2, and 4-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

She says one of the things they discuss is their diverse backgrounds and cultures.

‘We talk about orphanages, we talk about their countries and differences, and it’s a source of excitement and pride,’ she tells The Sunday Times. 

‘I [hope] they can talk to me about everything. And by the time they get to be teenagers we’ll have formed a sufficient bond.’
