Expectant mom Angelina Jolie opens up about Brad, babies and family in the July issue of Vanity Fair.
The actress, 32, and partner Brad Pitt, 44, are currently living in France while awaiting the birth of their twins. Rounding out the Jolie-Pitt clan are the couple’s four other kids: Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2.
Jolie, who adopted three of her children and give birth to daughter Shiloh, says pregnancy suits her.
“I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason,” she tells Vanity Fair. “It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing.
“Also, I’m fortunate…I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”
Giving birth to Shiloh by C-section, says Jolie, was an intimate family experience: “We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don’t think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us.”
Adoption, Jolie adds, was always in the cards for her.
“When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents,” she says. “It’s not a humanitarian thing, because I don’t see it as a sacrifice. It’s a gift. We’re all lucky to have each other.
“I look at Shiloh—because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little—and say, ‘If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?’ I suppose I’m giving them the childhood I always wished I had.”
With four active kids and two more on the way, Brad and Angelina rely on nannies during the day but handle the night shift themselves—so far.
“We don’t ever have anybody spend the night,” says Jolie, who only recently confirmed she’s expecting twins. “We may have to adjust that when the next one comes.”
