Angelina Jolie, arguably one of the most famous and gorgeous women in the world, thought that she would never find true love. The star of Disney’s latest blockbuster Maleficent is one of the few women today who can draw audiences on her own and command a hefty salary while she’s at it, all while saving the world.

When she’s not playing a super villain or engaging in her humanitarian efforts; she’s playing the role of Mom.

Mother of six and fiancée to Brad Pitt, Angelina shares with CNN that she, “never thought I’d [she] be in love, I never thought I’d meet the right person. Having come from a broken home – you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don’t look for them.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt seem to have the idyllic scenario of a perfect fairy tale romance. In 2005, the same year that the action thriller/romance movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith emerged on the scene, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt began their relationship. For nearly a decade, Pitt has been involved in raising six children with Ms. Jolie, beginning when he first petitioned to formally adopt Jolie’s sole two children at the time, Maddox and Zahara. Since then, the couple have welcomed four more children to their ever-expanding family: twins Vivienne and Knox, Shiloh, and Pax.

The gorgeous family supports and encourages Ms. Jolie’s humanitarian efforts, as well as her adventures in Tinsel Town. “You get together and you’re two individuals and you feel inspired by each other,” Jolie shares with CNN on her relationship with Pitt. “You challenge each other, you complement each other, drive each other beautifully crazy. After all these years, we have history – and when you have history with somebody, you’re friends in such a very real, deep way that there’s such a comfort, and an ease, and a deep love that comes from having been through quite a lot together.”

The actress co-stars with her daughter Vivienne in the May 30 release of Maleficent, with children Zahara and Pax, also making brief appearances in the film.

The live-action retelling of Disney’s classic Sleeping Beauty is the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the point of view of the wicked sorceress who casts her evil spell on the sleeping Princess. The decision to cast Vivienne, Jolie explained, as the young Aurora, occurred because “she was the only child who could withstand Jolie’s evil character.”

Jolie goes on to say in Elle magazine, “My little Vivienne – we call her my shadow, because there’s nothing I can do to shake her. I can be tired, I can be grumpy, I can be in a terrible mood, and she doesn’t care. It’s ‘Mommy, Mommy,’ and she’ll cling to me. We knew that she would still do that thing, she’d still smile at me and insist that I pick her up. So we couldn’t really cast anybody else.”

Having Jolie and Pitt as your parents might cast a very tall shadow over some little ones, but these Jolie-Pitts cling to their parents, even when they’re dressed up as scary horned creatures.
