Ange Admits 'Sometimes You Feel Like Breaking'

The megastar mum of six reveals she is struggling during the global pandemic

Angelina Jolie has opened up about the difficulties of parenting during the COVID-19 outbreak, coming to the conclusion that it’s “impossible” to do it perfectly. The usually private star penned a remarkably candid letter for TIME magazine in which she detailed her worries as the mother to the six children she shares with ex-husband Brad Pitt: Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 13, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 11.

Jolie, 44, who is splitting parenting duties with Pitt, 56, during lockdown, said she’s thinking of “all the mothers and fathers with children at home” during this difficult time as she’s experiencing the same thing herself – albeit from a multi-million-dollar mansion.

“I am imagining how hard each of you is trying to get through your days. How much you want to lead your loved ones through this. How you worry. How you plan. How you smile for them, when inside you feel at times you are breaking.”
