Angelina Jolie Bonds With Pax On Mother-Son Lunch Date

How sweet! Angelina Jolie and son Pax Jolie-Pitt, 13, headed out to lunch for a sweet mother-son bonding afternoon in Los Angeles. The lunch date comes two weeks after his first visit with all his siblings to dad Brad Pitt’s home, and they looked like they were having a really nice time! Angelina Jolie, 41, spent some quality one-on-one time with her second eldest child, Pax Jolie-Pitt, 13, on April 30. The mother and son duo were spotted heading out to lunch in Los Angeles along the Pacific Coast Highway at a fancy restaurant overlooking the ocean. How nice! Pax looked totally cool in a camouflage utility jacket and a sleek asymmetrical haircut — long on one side, and shaved on the other. So awesome! Angelina stuck with her chic but casual style: all black, big sunglasses, and simple diamond stud earrings.Angelina’s been spending a ton of time with her six kids separately after filing for divorce from their father, Brad Pitt, 53, in September 2016. It’s all about showering them with attention and meeting their needs without doting on the five other kids at the same time. What a smart move! Just six days ago, Angelina took daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, 10, who’s very into the arts, shopping at a music store. They went home with a brand new ukulele for the young creative. Fun! She’s also gone shopping with daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 12, the family’s little fashionista.It’s good to see Angelina and Pax together, because their relationship has been a little rocky since her split with his dad. Brad and Angelina are talking again and getting to a healthier place where they’re a little more understanding of each other’s situation. It’s all for the kids’ sake, and it’s making the transition much smoother. In fact, Angelina’s new $25 million home is just a mile away from Brad‘s place, where the kids grew up! They could basically walk back and forth if they wanted to! Pax must be a little less angry with his mother, seeing as at one point he reportedly begged to live with Brad instead of with her. Both Pax and Shiloh allegedly told their mom that they’d rather be with her ex because they felt a better connection with dad, according to OK! magazine. The former couple have apparently come to a place where all the kids are happier. What a relief! Brad even had the kids over for dinner for the first time since Angelina filed for temporary full custody.

Angelina Jolie's decision to partner with Guerlain was a personal one.The actress and philanthropist is the face of the brand's scent Mon Guerlain, which the company's website says she also inspired. Jolie revealed her late mother, The Man Who Loved Women actress Marcheline Bertrand, influenced her choice in an interview with Marie Claire. While it's rare for Jolie to speak of her mom who died in 2007 after battling ovarian cancer for nearly a decade, she opened up the magazine about her mother's fondness for Guerlain."It was a brand my mother loved, so I knew it from my childhood," Jolie shared. "It spoke to her, as it does to me, of beauty, history, and quality; one of the oldest perfume houses in the world, from France, a country I love and feel connected to." France, after all, hosted her surprise wedding to Brad Pitt in August 2014. USA TODAY confirmed that Jolie filed for divorce from the Allied actor in September of last year.Jolie said her mom, who was married to Ray Donovan actor Jon Voight, scarcely pampered herself."She was a very natural woman who never spoiled herself, never wore makeup, and wore modest jewelry," Jolie revealed, "but she always had a few special items for when she wanted to feel like a lady. One of those — and I remember it because it seemed so elegant — was her Guerlain powder. I think all women have those few special things that make them feel feminine."It seems Jolie's tie to Guerlain will also be a significant memory for her six children as she donated her salary from the campaign to charity."The Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation's work is inspired by our children and their connections to particular countries," explained Jolie. "We visit the projects together, and it is growing with them. We started 13 years ago in Cambodia, and have since moved to Ethiopia and Namibia, too. It is dedicated to education, health, and the environment. We are gradually expanding, but our focus is still very much on enabling local people to develop their own communities and future, as well as rights for women and children."

For Angelina Jolie, teaming up with Guerlain is about more than a partnership. The award-winning actress and humanitarian told Hello! that she decided to partner with the French perfume brand because it reminds her of her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died of ovarian cancer at the age of 56 in January 2007.Stars Who Beat Cancer.The First They Killed My Father director, who is the face of the brand’s new international scent Mon Guerlain, told the publication that Guerlain is a brand her mother loved and that she knew from her childhood.“It spoke to her, as it does to me, of beauty, history and quality,” she explained. “It's the oldest perfume house in the world, from France, a country I love and feel connected to and spend time in. As I talked to Guerlain about the artistry they devote to the making of the perfume and the way they work in communities, sourcing their ingredients, the pieces came together and I felt we were a match."
Brangelina: The Way They Were.While recalling her late mother, who was also an actress and humanitarian, Jolie shared that Bertrand was a very "natural" woman.“She never spoiled herself, never wore make-up, and wore modest jewelery, but she always had a few special items for when she wanted to feel like a lady,” she recalled. “One of those special items – and I remember it because it seemed so elegant – was her Guerlain powder (Ladies in All Climates). I think it speaks of all women having those few special things that make them feel feminine. And so when I was a little girl, I would associate Guerlain with that."For Jolie, who is the mom of six kids with estranged husband Brad Pitt, her go-to product is under eye concealer, she told Hello!, while also admitting that her approach towards aging is to appreciate life. "Maybe because my last decade has included many health scares and a focus on raising children, I am simply happy to be healthy, and above all that the children are healthy,” Jolie, who underwent a double mastectomy and later had her ovaries removed in March 2015, said. “There is nothing else to fear. It makes life clear.”

Angelina Jolie's brother James Haven has reportedly been let go by sister from his job as nanny to her brood.The 43-year-old former actor was allegedly employed by the Mr. & Mrs. Smith star to supervise the six nannies she employs - one for each child - in the wake of her split from former husband Brad Pitt. However, he was noticeably absent from the actress' entourage on a recent visit to London.Last September (16) DailyMail.com reported that Angelina had been leaving her children in the care of brother James and that he had accompanied her and the children to Cambodia where she was shooting a movie as well previously being spotted dashing through airports with the family on their travels.However, according to editors at Grazia, Angelina has "quietly dismissed" James from his role as head nanny, after she realised the job was taking a heavy toll on him. The former actor and his sister have always been extremely close. He famously came to the world's attention back in 2000 when Angelina and he kissed on the mouth at the Oscars where she won a Supporting Actress Academy Award for Girl, Interrupted."Things haven't been easy with Brad and Angelina's divorce, and James has done more than his fair share helping out while the family goes through a major upheaval," a source close to the star told Grazia. "But he's done. he's loved spending so much time with his nieces and nephews, but it's hard work and he's absolutely shattered.James was said to have overall responsibility for running the team of nannies responsible for the former couple's children; Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox, but with such a large brood, the role soon spilled over into managing the household too."It was his job to be there if any of the kids woke up during the night and to deal with the nannies if they had any issues. He was virtually running the household and it became very draining," the source added. "She was worried about how exhausted he looked and realised he needed a break. Brad is coming back into the kids' lives, so things have calmed down a little. She's grateful that James was there, but knows she can't rely on him every step of the way."The news comes as Angelina visited London last week (14Mar17) to deliver a lecture at the London School of Economics Centre for Women, Peace & Security about how rape is used as a tool of war.“I hope I do well,” she told reporters ahead of the lecture. “This is very important to me.”
