I’m confused. I thought Angelina Jolie getting pregnant was by accident. I didn’t realize that it was a decision that was thought through. I checked my archives and don’t have anything from her talking about how it all happened. If anyone has any old quotes from Angie about getting pregnant, email them to me. I am curious to reread them.
UPDATE: Thanks Brandi! She did say it wasn’t planned. But it could be interpreted a few different ways. It could just mean Angelina never thought she would WANT a child. Either way, Shiloh is beautiful and the family is happy. Click here to read it.
Angelina sat down with Reader’s Digest and talked about Brad Pitt, the moment she gave into having her own biological child and the hope to have many, many more.
On realizing she wants biological children:
“Before I met Brad, I always said I was happy never to have a child biologically. He told me he hadn’t given up that thought. Then, a few months after Z came home, I saw Brad with her and Mad, and I realized how much he loved him, that a biological child would not in any way be a threat. So I said, ‘I want to try.’ “
On how she went from single mom of one to part of a family of six in just three years:
“I met this amazing person, and we realized we had very similar views on how we wanted to live our lives. It’s happened quickly, with so many children. Yesterday, picking up the kids from school, Brad turned around in the car, and there were three of them. He couldn’t stop laughing.”
On deciding to adopt a toddler from Vietman:
“As kids get older, it’s harder for them to be adopted. … Something changed for me with Shiloh. We had Mad and Z, and neither looked like Mommy or Daddy. Then suddenly somebody in the house looked like Mommy and Daddy. It became clear to us that it might be important to have somebody around who is similar to the other children so they have a connection. Mad’s very excited that his brother is from Asia.”
