The movie is sure to please her family at home, as her six kids with ex-husbandBrad Pittcontinue to step out with their famous mom more often. Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and 10-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne recently attended the premiere of Disney’sDumboearlier this year. And last month, Jolie and all of her children were spotted celebrating Shiloh’s 13th birthday.
Jolie is also currently preparing for her oldest son Maddox to attend college in the fall — and she couldn’t be happier for him to take the big step.
“I’m nothing but proud,” Jolie recently told PEOPLE. “I look forward to all he will do.”
“We enjoy reading the kids pullout of theNew York Timesand look atNational Geographic,” Jolie told PEOPLE, “but as a parent, I felt there wasn’t that one vetted and reliable internationally-minded news program tailored for children that we could sit down and watch together each week. That is what I hope this will be for our family and other families.”
