Angelina Jolie has opened up about raising her six children, saying she is proud that they have grown into individuals who are forging their own paths. The actress spoke about motherhood in a new interview with L’Officiel, published on September 9, saying one of the most important things as a parent is “to basically not get in their way.”
Jolie said she wants to support her children while allowing them to build lives separate from her own. Now that all six are adults, she added that they encourage her to focus more on her own interests, including travel, fieldwork, and reconnecting with activities such as flying and riding her motorcycle.
The actress also said she hopes to live outside the US and be “nomadic for a while.”
