She is known for her closeness to her six children, three of whom she adopted. And on her recent trip to New York City, Angelina Jolie was spotted spending time with her daughter Shiloh, 15, and her son Pax, 17, while visiting visual artist Daniel Arsham's studios in the Queens borough.The 46-year-old actress was first seen strolling around before entering the space, and she was seen briefly removing her face mask prior to being escorted in to meet the designer.Jolie was outfitted in a flowing white dress that obscured much of her shapely frame while spending time with her kids.The Girl, Interrupted performer contrasted the light tone of her main article of clothing with a sizable dark gray cardigan sweater that featured partially rolled-up sleeve ends, as well as a pair of light beige shoes.The Academy Award-winning actress' beautiful brunette locks gently fell onto her shoulders and the nape of her neck and added an element of color to her neutral-toned outfit.She was seen wearing a light gray facial covering, which she later removed during part of her outing with her kids. Jolie began the process of adopting her eldest child Maddox, aged 18, in 2002 and was married to her second husband, Billy Bob Thornton, at the time.Prior to becoming involved with the Sling Blade actor, the performer was involved with her Hackers costar Jonny Lee Miller, and although the two divorced in 1999, they remain good friends.Although she and her second husband initially intended to raise Maddox together, they split up in 2003, and she decided to bring up the child on her own.She went on to adopt a daughter named Zahara, aged 16, in July of 2005 before beginning a relationship with her Mr. & Mrs. Smith costar Brad Pitt in October of that year.The two were the subject of much media attention due to the fact that the now-57-year-old actor had previously been married to Jennifer Aniston, with whom he broke up shortly before dating Jolie.In January of 2006, the actress announced that she was pregnant with the couple's child, and she eventually gave birth to Shiloh in May of that year.The following year, the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider star adopted Pax, aged 17, from Vietnam as a single parent, and Pitt legally became his father upon his arrival in the United States.The Fight Club star would go on to officially adopt all of Jolie's adopted children before they welcomed a set of twins named Knox and Vivienne, aged 12, in 2008.The pair went strong as a couple for several years and went on to announce their engagement in 2012 before they solidified their union two years later.They only enjoyed marital bliss for a short period of time, however, as they separated in September of 2016 when the Maleficent star filed for divorce.The actress cited an alleged incident when Pitt became drunk on a plane and began physically abusing his children, and although the actor was investigated by several agencies, he was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing.They engaged in a lengthy legal battle regarding their kids before a tentative custody deal was reached in 2018, which remained in place for two years.In October of last year, the couple went back to court, as the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor requested that a 50/50 arrangement regarding his parenting be reached.Although Jolie objected to the tentative plan, a judge ruled that Pitt was to receive partial custody of his biological and adopted children last month. The actress has spoken out regarding the outcome of the case, as her children under the age of 18 were not allowed to testify at the trial.

Angelina Jolie was spotted spending quality time with her daughter Zahara in New York City earlier this month.The mother-daughter duo was first seen shopping at designer Gabriela Hearst's store on Madison Avenue before leaving with a large bag of purchases and making a quick stop at a bagel cart.The 46-year-old actress' trip with her eldest daughter, 16, comes not long after she claimed that her child recently had surgery and was the focus of racial bias because of her skin color.Jolie was dressed in a stark white t-shirt that was tucked into a sizable and flowing gray skirt that obscured her sculpted legs.The Lara Croft: Tomb Raider star continued her neutral-toned ensemble with a pair of light beige high-heeled shoes that added an element of flat color to her outfit.Her beautiful brunette locks cascaded onto her shoulders, and she kept a purse with a chain-link strap over her left shoulder as well as a large bag of purchases on her right.The Academy Award-winning performer kept a light gray face mask on for the length of her outing to keep herself protected from COVID-19. Jolie shares Zahara with her estranged husband, Brad Pitt, from whom she filed for divorce in 2016.The performer recently spoke about how Zahara was the focus of racial bias from a medical practitioner while conducting an interview with Malone Mukwende for Time. During the sit-down, she noted that, as her kids come from different parts of the world, she understood that skin conditions would look different on each of them.'I have children from different backgrounds, and I know when there was a rash that everybody got, it looked drastically different depending on their skin color,' she noted.However, Jolie expressed that, when Zahara went in for a procedure, a medical practitioner did not take her skin color into account, which she took as an admission of innate racial bias.She recalled: 'Whenever I looked at medical charts, the reference point was always white skin. Recently my daughter Zahara, whom I adopted from Ethiopia, had surgery, and afterward a nurse told me to call them if her skin "turned pink."'Mukwende sympathized with the actress' daughter and noted: 'There's a language and a culture that exists in the medical profession...and because we are still doing it so many years later it doesn’t seem like it's a problem.' Jolie has been single since splitting from Pitt, but before she met him the star had an active love life. Prior to becoming involved with the Inglourious Basterds star Pitt, Jolie was married to her Hackers costar Jonny Lee Miller from 1996 until 1999, although they remained close friends after their separation - she was seen entering his apartment building last week with a bottle of wine.Following her split from her first husband, the actress dated around before tying the knot with her Pushing Tin castmate Billy Bob Thornton in 2000.The two went on to announce that they would be adopting a child whom they named Maddox, currently aged 19, from Cambodia before they split up and divorced in 2003. Jolie went on to become romantically linked to Pitt, 57, in 2005 after they costarred in the action-comedy flick Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The Golden Globe-winning actress subsequently adopted Zahara during a visit to Ethiopia in July of that year, and Pitt stepped in to formally adopt the now-16-year-old the following year.The couple eventually welcomed three biological children of their own during their time together, namely daughter Shiloh, aged 15, in 2006 and twins Knox and Vivienne, aged 12, in 2008.The pair also adopted a son named Pax, currently aged 17, in between the births of their own kids, in 2007. Jolie and Pitt separated in 2019, and the actor recently won a lengthy legal battle where he was awarded joint custody of the children. The actress notably objected to her former husband being able to take care of their kids, citing a 2016 incident where he allegedly abused one of his children on a private jet, of which he was eventually cleared.

Angelina Jolie gave a rare glimpse into her life as the mother of six children in a new piece that she penned for Time Magazine in her capacity as a contributing editor.The 46-year-old interviewed medical student Malone Mukwende about his initiative to bridge the gap of medical knowledge when it comes to people of color as most medical books neglect to teach about ailments on black and brown skin.During her piece, Angelina sympathized with the issue, explaining that she struggled to find medical advice for her children 'of different backgrounds' when they all came down with the same rash. She also revealed that her daughter Zahara, 16, recently underwent surgery.'I have children from different backgrounds, and I know when there was a rash that everybody got, it looked drastically different depending on their skin color,' the activist said.Mukwende's handbook, Mind the Gap, addresses those types of issues by aggregating photos and information about various medical conditions on different, non-white skin tones.'Recently my daughter Zahara, whom I adopted from Ethiopia, had surgery, and afterward a nurse told me to call them if her skin "turned pink," Angelina said. 'That’s the kind of thing I started to notice very early on. Almost the entirety of medicine is taught in that way,' Mukwende responded. Adding: 'Like you’ve just illustrated, that’s a very problematic statement for some groups of the population because it’s just not going to happen in that way and if you’re unaware you probably won’t call the doctor.'The actress has three biological children with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, Shiloh, 15 and 12-year-old twins Knox and Vivian, as well as three adopted children 19-year-old Maddox from Cambodia, 17-year-old Pax from Vietnam and 16-year-old Zahara from Ethopia.The Maleficent star, meanwhile, is back home with her family after doing some charitable work with the United Nations.Her first order of business when she was back in Los Angeles was heading out to grab a gourmet bite to eat with a few of her children at Baltaire in Brentwood. Jolie was seen Monday night heading into the hot spot with 17-year-old Pax and 16-year-old Zahara following her trip to Burkina Faso for World Refugee Day. Angelina just returned to the states after working in her capacity as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Special Envoy in Burkina Faso for World Refugee Day. Highlighting how the number of displaced people in the world has doubled in the past year, she said in the West African nation: 'There is nowhere I would rather be today than here, with refugees, the people I admire most in the world.' More than 1.2million people in the Sahel region of West and Central Africa have been forced to flee their homes since 2019, according to the United Nations. Speaking in Burkina Faso's Goudoubo refugee camp, in the central city of Kaya, Ms Jolie added that she had 'never been as worried' about displaced people as she is now. 'We have to wake up to the track we are on globally, with so many conflicts raging and the very real possibility that climate change will force tens if not hundreds of millions of people to have to leave their homes in the future, with no possibility of return,' she warned. Jolie's personal life has been in headlines quite a bit recently as she has been spending time with her ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller at his apartment in New York during a recent visit. Angelina and Jonny were married in 1996 after meeting on the set of their movie Hackers a year prior, but separated shortly after and officially divorced in 1999.The actress and Pax were spotted heading into Miller's Brooklyn home last week for a visit. And, a day prior Jolie spent hours with her former flame at home enjoying dinner and wine. The visits came after Angelina was reportedly left 'bitterly disappointed' after a court awarded joint custody to her ex Brad Pitt with the star allegedly set to appeal the decision with a hearing due for July 9.

Angelina Jolie is back home with her family after doing some charitable work with the United Nations.The 46-year-old's first order of business when she was back in Los Angeles was heading out to grab a gourmet bite to eat with a few of her children at Baltaire in Brentwood. Jolie was seen Monday night heading into the hot spot with 17-year-old Pax and 16-year-old Zahara following her trip to Burkina Faso for World Refugee Day. Angelina looked stunning in a sophisticated white wrap dress that draped around her thin frame and nude pointy toe pumps with a midnight blue silk facemask.Her brunette hair was styled in a sleek blow out and left down to cascade around her shoulders.With her at the high-end eatery was son Pax in black pants, a grey printed button-up and some funky black and white Chuck Taylors. Daughter Zahara kept things classic but young in a long sleeve black bodycon mini dress and sneakers. The actress shares her six children - Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15 and 12-year-old twins Knox and Vivian - with ex-husband Brad. The exes do not currently co-parent amicably and have been battling in court over custody for several years. Angelina just returned back to the states after working in her capacity as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Special Envoy in Burkina Faso for World Refugee Day. Highlighting how the number of displaced people in the world has doubled in the past year, she said in the West African nation: 'There is nowhere I would rather be today than here, with refugees, the people I admire most in the world.'

Angelina Jolie yesterday visited refugees in Burkina Faso to highlight the problems faced by people who have to flee their homes.The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Special Envoy, 46, donned a headscarf as she spoke in the West African nation to mark World Refugee Day. Highlighting how the number of displaced people in the world has doubled in the past year, she said: 'There is nowhere I would rather be today than here, with refugees, the people I admire most in the world.'More than 1.2million people in the Sahel region of West and Central Africa have been forced to flee their homes since 2019, according to the United Nations. The UN says funding for its response to the refugee crisis in the country is critically low and needs to be boosted by around 80 per cent. Speaking in Burkina Faso's Goudoubo refugee camp, in the central city of Kaya, Ms Jolie added that she had 'never been as worried' about displaced people as she is now. 'We have to wake up to the track we are on globally, with so many conflicts raging and the very real possibility that climate change will force tens if not hundreds of millions of people to have to leave their homes in the future, with no possibility of return,' she warned. 'The way the international community tries to address conflict and insecurity is broken.'It is erratic, it is unequal, it is built on inherited privilege, it is subject to the whim of political leaders, and it is geared towards the interests of powerful countries,' she added.She then called for the international community to focus on finding solutions to reduce refugee numbers globally, saying: 'The truth is we are not doing half of what we could and should do to find solutions to enable refugees to return home - or to support host countries, like Burkina Faso.'Ms Jolie's speech comes after she collaborated with Amnesty International last year on a new book to help young people know their rights when protesting against injustice. The Tomb Raider star said she is keen to help 'empower' those who are trying to make a change in the world, whether that be by protesting on the streets or within their community, with the book Know Your Rights (And Claim Them).It was revealed on Wednesday that the book helps children up to the age of 18 to counter misinformation and let them know how to stop their rights from being violated.
