Angelina Jolie once thought “I never thought I was a mother”, now the female star is a great mother and these are the happy moments of the mother of 6 children.

Angelina Jolie’s best mom moments.

“It’s strange, I never wanted to have a baby,” Angelina Jolie told the Associated Press in 2016. “I never wanted to be pregnant. I never babysat. I never thought of myself as a mother.” However a trip to Cambodia, first to film and then for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees opened her eyes to her maternal instincts and she adopted son Maddox there in 2002. Initially raising him as a single mom, both their lives changed when Angelina fell in love with Brad Pitt. The couple went on to have six children together. Keep scrolling to see how Angelina Jolie grew and blossomed in her role as a mom.

Maddox

Angelina adopted the then seven-month-old Maddox from Cambodia in 2002. She had filmed Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in the country in 2000, sparking an interest that led to her returning as a Goodwill Ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. While playing with kids at a local school she had a life-changing realisation: “It was suddenly very clear to me that my son was in the country, somewhere,” she said.

Maddox has grown into a responsible young man, escorting mom to premieres and taking up biochemistry at a college in South Korea. Dropping him off there was incredibly hard for Angelina, who said she couldn’t control her emotions: “Oh my god, an ‘embarrass your children’ ugly cry!” she told Entertainment Tonight. She continued: “It‘s nice to know how much he knows he’s loved…but yeah, I miss him, I miss him. Or I’ll just get out there. It’s not like I haven’t set my plane tickets.”

A veritable media frenzy was unleashed when Angelina revealed her pregnancy and the birth of Shiloh in Namibia in 2006. Opening up about a procedure two of her daughters went through recently, Angelina highlighted the caring nature of her girls: “I have watched my daughters care for one another,” Jolie wrote in Time. “My youngest daughter studied the nurses with her sister, and then assisted the next time.
