Angelina Jolie opens up about her split from Brad Pitt for wellbeing of her kids

Angelina Jolie opened up about her divorce with ex-husband Brad Pitt and talked about leaving their father for the sake of their six kids.

"I separated for the well-being of my family. It was the right decision. I continue to focus on their healing," the Oscar-winning star told to a magazine.

"Some have taken advantage of my silence, and the children see lies about themselves in the media, but I remind them that they know their own truth and their own minds. In fact, they are six very brave, very strong young people." The actor added.

In the same interview, Angelina insisted she makes sure the words adoption and orphanage are positive words in her home.

Jolie was already the mother of Maddox and Zahara when she started dating Pitt in 2005. Brad went on to adopt his then girlfriend’s kids, and their last names were legally changed to Jolie-Pitt.

Pitt and Jolie married in August 2014 in France, and are parents of six kids, Maddox, 18, Pax, 16 and Zahara, 15, through adoption and she has given birth to three youngest children Shiloh, 12, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 11.
