Angelina Jolie has revealed how becoming a mom ‘saved her’ from going to a ‘much darker’ place while opening up about life as a ‘single mother’ following her divorce from Brad Pitt – as she stunned in a graffiti-covered dress on the cover of Vogue magazine.

The actress, 48, got real about how adopting her first son, Maddox, at age 26 ‘changed her entire life’ and ‘taught her to be in this world differently’ while chatting with the publication.

She also spoke out about how ‘wanting to live’ for her six children has kept her going ‘recently,’ seemingly alluding to the bitter breakup she’s endured with her ex Brad, 59.

‘I was 26 when I became a mother. My entire life changed,’ she shared. ‘Having children saved me – and taught me to be in this world differently.

‘I think, recently, I would’ve gone under in a much darker way had I not wanted to live for them.

‘They’re better than me, because you want your children to be. Of course, I’m the mother, and hopefully that safe place for them and that stability.

‘But I’m also the one that they laugh at – and I see them taking over so many different aspects of our family.’

Angelina admitted that she has felt ‘a bit down these days,’ adding, ‘I don’t feel like I’ve been myself for a decade, in a way, which I don’t want to get into.’

She also said she’s in the midst of ‘transitioning as a person.’

‘We had a lot of healing to do. We’re still finding our footing,’ she explained.

The 48-year-old graced the front of the magazine’s November 2023 issue in a white strapless gown that was covered in pink spray paint as she promoted her upcoming fashion company, Atelier Jolie.

She stared fiercely away from the camera and clutched onto two bottles of paint in the snap, while her long brown locks were pulled back into a tight bun.

They welcomed three children – Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox. They also adopted Zahara and Pax, and Brad adopted the son Angelina had adopted before they got together, Maddox

But in 2016, it came to an explosive end after the pair got into an alleged physical altercation while on a private flight with their six kids. They’re seen in November 2015
