We’re talking aboutBlake Lively and Ryan Reynolds,John Krasinski and Emily Blunt,George and Amal Clooney.
How did their children come into their lives, and what’s going on with them now?
Here’s the truth about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s six kids.
Cue Angelina Jolie, who was cast alongside Pitt in the 2005 action-packed flick “Mr. & Mrs. Not exactly an easy start to a romance.
It was in Cambodia that Jolie met Maddox in an orphanage and took the steps to adopt him.
Jolie looked at the baby, recalling, “I cried and cried.”
In March 2002, Jolie officially adopted 7-month-old Maddox.
She later bought a house and became a citizen of the country of Cambodia.
I wanted her to adopt me.
Ready to adopt once again, Jolie brought 6-month-old Zahara home from Awasa, Ethiopia.
Zahara’s start in life was not an easy one,SCMPnoted.
The little girl’s birth family was adamant that she return to Ethiopia.
When little Shiloh was born, Jolie immediately assessed that the little girl was just like her.
Shiloh herself would continue to make headlines throughout the course of her childhood due to her gender identity.
“I think that is just bad parenting.
It’s not like I’m the head of anything.
I’m very honest with my kids.
And I’m very human with my kids,” Jolie said.
“I am so excited about all the different stages and feelings and curiosities that they go through.
Why wouldn’t you be?
We’re supposed to help them figure out who they are.
Just like that, her family was to grow once again.
Jolie shared the difficult circumstances Pax faced in his early years.
Pax was adopted by Jolie in 2007, and by Pitt in 2008.
“We weren’t expecting twins,” Jolie said.
“So it did shock us, and we jumped to six [children] quickly.
But we like a challenge.”
“I just don’t bend down.
I’ll scream, ‘Honey!’
and he’ll come running and lift them up.”
As they say, teamwork makes the dream work.
[It’s] still a cuckoo’s nest,” Pitt further explained.
But sibling rivalry was clearly not something the couple had to deal with.
Jolie explained that both Shiloh and Zahara loved picking out outfits for the babies and helped with changing them.
“It’s sweet they are little mommies,” she said.
So why did they wait so long?
She also requested “primary custody” of all six children.
“This decision was made for the health of the family.
In a nutshell, Jolie pursued full custody of the kids, and then Pitt challenged for joint custody.
There have been issues with judges appointed to the case, judicial misconduct, and more mind-boggling details.
Jolie accused Pitt of “ruining this family,” to which Pitt had a troubling reaction.
The report in which Jolie was referenced by a pseudonym detailed the following.
This was not like a close call.
They did their investigation as they’re supposed to.
And the decision was made with all parties in agreement.”
