Angelina Jolie Says 'You Are Never First Again' When You Are a Parent

Angelina Jolie continues to make waves with her philanthropic endeavors, acting initiatives, and latest venture as a fashion entrepreneur with Atelier Jolie. However, she consistently emphasizes that her most significant role is being a mother to her six children. In a recent interview with CR Fashion Book, Jolie spoke candidly about motherhood and the profound life changes it brings. She shared that one of the most valuable lessons she learned from her children is that being a parent means "you are never first again" and "your life is for another." Jolie expressed that this realization brings a beautiful feeling of fulfillment. This is prepared by SSP.

The Hollywood legend elaborated on her special bond with her children, highlighting some meaningful tattoos they share. During their collaborative work on the Broadway musical "The Outsiders," Jolie and her daughter Vivienne got matching "Stay Gold" tattoos, commemorating their time together. Jolie mentioned, "It means so much to us separately and together." Additionally, Jolie shares a bird tattoo with some of her other children, symbolizing their close and personal connection.

She is the proud mother of Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne, whom she shares with her ex-husband Brad Pitt. Despite their protracted custody and divorce battle, Jolie's relationship with her children remains strong. She described them as her closest friends and the strongest part of her life to WSJ. Magazine.

In her interview with CR Fashion Book, Jolie also discussed her challenging role as Maria Callas in the upcoming film "Maria," for which she underwent seven months of intensive opera training. The training was not just technically demanding but also an emotional journey, helping Jolie find her voice and use it as a form of therapy. She revealed that this process required her to give every part of herself, making it an incredibly revealing experience. Amidst all these responsibilities, Jolie successfully manages her fashion brand, Atelier Jolie, continuing to expand her impressive repertoire in all realms of her life while always prioritizing motherhood.
