The actress said she has been focusing on "healing our family" after her divorce with Brad Pitt.Angelina Jolie has had a tough time these past few years, given her divorce with long-time partner Brad Pitt and the subsequent custody battle for their children which is underway even today. The actress is looking forward to moving past these times and feels she would be in a much better place when she is in her 50s.The Hollywood star, who will celebrate her 46th birthday in June this year, opened up about her personal life while speaking to British Vogue for its March cover issue. When asked if she feels she is at a "happy stage" in her life, Jolie said: "I don't know. The past few years have been pretty hard. I've been focusing on healing our family. It's slowly coming back, like the ice melting and the blood returning to my body." The "Maleficent" actress added that she has not yet reached the end of this journey of healing, but hopes to be there and is "planning on it.""I do like being older. I feel much more comfortable in my forties than I did when I was younger. Maybe because... I don't know... maybe because my mom didn't live very long, so there's something about age that feels like a victory instead of a sadness for me," she explained."So I like it," the mother-of-six said about growing older, noting that she has a strong belief she is going to hit her stride in her fifties. She added: "Though we were on the trampoline the other day, and the children said, "No, Mom, don't do that. You'll hurt yourself." And I thought, "God, isn't that funny?" There was a day I was an action star, and now the kids are telling me to get off the trampoline because I'll hurt myself."The actress is currently living with her six children- Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, John (Shiloh), 14, and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, at her Los Feliz estate, a compound formerly belonging to Hollywood legend Cecil B. DeMille, who also had legendary comic actor Charlie Chaplin as his neighbour. Jolie said that she took the decision to move into the estate because she wanted her children to be close to their father Brad Pitt, who lives only five minutes away."I felt a little pressure moving in. Like I had snuck into where DeMille and Chaplin would hang out. I love most that there is no entertainment room, but lots of pathways and places to walk and think. I feel very fortunate we have that at this time," she said about isolating at the iconic mansion during the coronavirus pandemic.

Angelina Jolie Struggling To Date After Divorce; Accused Of Being A Homewrecker

Angelina Jolie is a favorite target of rumors. While she focuses on raising a family, magazines paint her out to be a homewrecker who’s unlucky in love. Here are some of those stories about Jolie that Gossip Cop has investigated.
Angelina Jolie Pining For Chris Hemsworth. According to Life & Style, Jolie was trying to break up Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth. The Marvel co-stars shared a stage for a panel and had an “instant connection,” which caused Hemsworth and Pataky to get “into a huge argument.” Pataky believed that “Angelina’s used her charm to steal husbands before, so why shouldn’t she be?” This story was both unoriginal, as Chris Hemsworth and Angelina Jolie were being connected in loads of tabloids at the time, and totally false. Pataky and Hemsworth are still happily married, so this story was obviously bogus.
Prowling For Women.The Globe made Jolie sound like a predator in its story about the Hackers star prowling for women. A source said, “Her friends are on the look-out for a sensitive ‘normal’ woman who can keep up with her intellectually, physically, and emotionally.” Jolie was “banning men from her bed” and was being “shoved” back into the dating world by her children.This story came out around the same time another magazine claimed she was prowling for men, so the tabloids couldn’t get a consistent story. Angelina Jolie is focused on raising her family, not on dating, so Gossip Cop busted the story.
Flirting With Kit Harington.Jolie and Kit Harington were, according to Life & Style, flirting on the set of The Eternals. Harington’s wife, Game of Thrones co-star Rose Leslie, was nervous that the two could be getting too close. A so-called insider said that “while Kit would never act on it, it is Angelina Jolie. There’s no denying her effect on men.” Another source said, “Rose has nothing to worry about on Kit’s end, but nevertheless, she should watch her back.” This story put 100 percent of the blame on Angelina Jolie for the destruction of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s marriage, which is rather unfair. As you may have noticed, this was an almost identical version of the Hemsworth story, with this tabloid merely swapping some names.
Johnny Depp Cheated With Angelina Jolie.In one of the most blatant bait-and-switch stories you’ll ever find, Star claimed on its cover “Johnny cheated with Angie,” only to print a story that never mentioned her. The most we got was a caption reading “the other woman?” beneath a photo of Jolie. The tabloid was acting as if Jolie was the reason for Depp and Amber Heard breaking up, but that messy relationship collapsed for reasons that had nothing to do with Angelina Jolie.

Angelina Jolie joined four of her six children as they watched the US Election results in a captivating image from her new British Vogue shoot.Taken at her $25 million Los Angeles home last November, the actress, 45, looked radiant as she witnessed the event unfold alongside Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.The screen star - who also shares sons Maddox, 19, and Pax, 17, with ex Brad Pitt - shared her positive outlook towards the next few years as she said: 'Well, I put a lot of my hopes for the future on the younger generation. 'Maybe that’s because I live with six kids, aged 12 to 19, so I see that particular group – and I certainly see how much more pressure they are under than we were at their age. They’re overwhelmed with a lot of information that we were sheltered from.'But I see Mad online speaking in Russian to someone or talking to Korea, or Shi saying hi to her friends in Namibia, I see there’s this new way young people can connect and know each other in this global way. It’s how they’ll start to solve our problems.' Democratic Party's Joe Biden and Kamala Harris defeated the Republican Party ticket of then-president Donald Trump and vice president Mike Pence following an epic four-day election. Opting for a sophisticated appearance, the filmmaker wore a plain grey jumper and a maxi skirt, while her kids were dressed in casual outfits. Elsewhere in the interview for the publication's March edition, the thespian declared she is focused on 'healing our family' after struggling through a 'pretty hard few years' amid her bitter divorce from Brad, 57.The Tom Raider icon admitted she is still dealing with the fallout from her 2016 split from the actor, but said she finally feels as though her happiness is 'slowly coming back'.
Angelina gave a rare insight into how her life has changed since the end of their romance as she featured in cosy images at her mansion - which she says she bought as it is just five minutes away from the Ocean's Eleven star's house. 'I wanted it to be close to their dad, who is only five minutes away,' the TV and film star said of the sprawling property, which was once owned by late director Cecil B DeMille.The humanitarian has been single ever since they separated in September 2016, following two years of marriage and a 12-year relationship. The exes are said to be 'in a better place' after battling over finances and the custody of their children. The Girl, Interrupted star shared: 'The past few years have been pretty hard. I've been focusing on healing our family. It's slowly coming back, like the ice melting and the blood returning to my body.'I'm looking forward to my fifties - I feel that I'm gonna hit my stride in my fifties. Though we were on the trampoline the other day, and the children said, ''No, Mom, don't do that. You'll hurt yourself.'' And I thought, ''God, isn't that funny?'' 'There was a day I was an action star, and now the kids are telling me to get off the trampoline because I'll hurt myself.'The Unbroken star also touched on her role as the special envoy from the UN Refugee Agency. Angelina said: 'I started in my early twenties, putting on my boots and backpack, and going out to try and figure out what the hell was going on in the world. 'I tried to give myself a broader education than I’d had at school. I grew up in a very empty place, in many ways, so had to go to find a wider understanding.' The Maleficent actress first took on her humanitarian duties following her trip to Cambodia for Tomb Raider back in 2000. She visited the Asian country - where she met and subsequently adopted Maddox with ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton - for a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) field mission.The TV and film star later travelled to Pakistan, where she donated $1 million (£821,980) in response to an emergency appeal. Angelina - who co-founded the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative nine years ago - has since taken a hands-on approach in promoting a number of causes, including education, women's rights and conservation.

Angelia Jolie discussed raising her 'resilient' children as she graced the cover of British Vogue's March issue.In the new interview, the actress, 45, admitted she doesn't view herself as 'a traditional stay-at-home mum' as she was 'was never very good at sitting still', but credited her six kids for 'helping' her motherhood journey. The screen star - who co-parents Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox with ex Brad Pitt - also reflected on 'healing' her family following a 'hard' few years, and 'hitting my stride' in her fifties.On juggling her career with looking after her kids, the Tom Raider icon - who posed for an accompanying shoot at her $25million (£18.2million) Los Angeles home - told the publication: 'Well, I was never very good at sitting still.'Even though I wanted to have many children and be a mom, I always imagined it kind of like Jane Goodall, travelling in the middle of the jungle somewhere. I didn't imagine it in that true, traditional sense.'I feel like I'm lacking in all the skills to be a traditional stay-at-home mom. I'm managing through it because the children are quite resilient, and they're helping me, but I'm not good at it at all.'The humanitarian has been single ever since she separated from fellow thespian Brad, 57, in September 2016, following two years of marriage and a 12-year relationship. The former couple are said to be 'in a better place' after battling over finances and the custody of their children.Confessing she 'doesn't know' whether she's currently happy, Angelina insisted she has a positive outlook on the future.The Girl, Interrupted star shared: 'The past few years have been pretty hard. I've been focusing on healing our family. It's slowly coming back, like the ice melting and the blood returning to my body.'I'm looking forward to my fifties - I feel that I'm gonna hit my stride in my fifties.

And I thought, ''God, isn't that funny?'''There was a day I was an action star, and now the kids are telling me to get off the trampoline because I'll hurt myself.'
On championing the 'spirit of the youth', the filmmaker added: 'Maybe it's just the young punk in me but I like the spirit of the youth. I believe they can see right and wrong with more clarity. 'I see a lot of older people making excuses for certain behaviours, and it tends to be the younger person who is quicker to say, ''But this is simply wrong, and we stand against it.'' I've wanted to remain that person.' The Unbroken star also touched on her role as the special envoy from the UN Refugee Agency.Angelina shared: 'I started in my early twenties, putting on my boots and backpack, and going out to try and figure out what the hell was going on in the world. 'I tried to give myself a broader education than I’d had at school. I grew up in a very empty place, in many ways, so had to go to find a wider understanding.'The activist went on to admit she believes the perception of refugees has 'worsened' over time, explaining: 'We speak as if refugees are a burden. But they’ve had to adapt. They have a different skill set, a different look in their eye. 'They’ve confronted their own humanity in such a profound way. They’ve stood up to oppression. We should honour their fight. Honour the people who’ve fled bombs and protected their kids.' Stressing the importance of teaching global citizenship to her kids, she added: 'They are from across the globe. When I see Mad in Cambodia, it’s his home. 'He is a Cambodian man, and at the same time, he is also an American citizen and a global citizen. But it’s not just important for him to go there, it’s important for his siblings to go there, too. 'We’ve been very blessed to have a family of different cultures and races. We are all learning from each other.'The Maleficent star first took on her humanitarian duties following her trip to Cambodia for Tomb Raider back in 2000. She visited the Asian country - where she met and subsequently adopted Maddox with ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton - for a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) field mission.The TV and film star later travelled to Pakistan, where she donated $1 million (£821,980) in response to an emergency appeal.

Winston Churchill's WWII painting gets put up for auction by owner Angelina Jolie... and it's expected to fetch up to £2.5m

Mixing history with Hollywood, the artwork’s provenance could hardly be more impressive. Sir Winston Churchill’s only painting during the Second World War, which he gave to US president Franklin D Roosevelt, has been put up for sale by its current owner Angelina Jolie. The Moroccan landscape, called Tower of the Koutoubia Mosque, is expected to fetch £1.5million to £2.5million at a Christie’s auction next month – and could set a new record for a work by the former prime minister. Churchill painted it in Marrakech after the Casablanca conference in 1943, where it was agreed by the Allied forces that only complete surrender by the Axis powers would be acceptable. He invited Roosevelt to join him in Marrakech the day after the conference to show him the views of the city and the light at sunset, which he was particularly passionate about. Churchill, a keen amateur artist who created more than 500 paintings, captured the scene for the US president as a memento of their excursion. It depicts the 12th century mosque in Marrakech at sunset with the Atlas mountains in the background. The artwork was sold by Roosevelt’s son Elliot after his death in 1945 and had several owners before Miss Jolie and her then partner Brad Pitt bought it in 2011. Nick Orchard, head of Christie’s modern British art department in London, said: ‘It is arguably the best painting by Winston Churchill due to the significance of the subject matter to him.’
