When a relationship breaks, its shattered pieces leave scars on more people than one can count. For instance, when a couple with kids part ways, intentionally or unintentionally their children become part of the drama for which they never signed. However, when it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be, and as time passes by, kids make their own decisions as they process the whole situation. An example of the same can be seen in the case of ex-spouses Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Their years-long legal battle has consumed both sides of the family, especially their kids Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. Most of them time and again have expressed their support for their mom and now Maddox and Pax, who worked with the actress on her upcoming project Maria, have become witnesses to their mother’s pain.
Latest reports suggest that Maddox, 23, and Pax, 21, saw their mother Angelina Jolie cry uncontrollably on the ‘Maria’ set. Maddox and Pax are production assistants on ‘Maria.’ Shooting this made the actress go on an emotional roller coaster, and thus, she couldn’t even hold back her sentiments in front of her sons. While talking to BBC, Angelina confessed that her eldest sons witnessed her emotional honesty in “a new way.”
“They’ve seen me go through a lot of things, but they hadn’t experienced me expressing a lot of the pain that usually a parent hides from a child,” said the ‘Salt’ actress. She added that with her character in ‘Maria’ she has been able to channel her true feelings making her nothing but honest about what she is experiencing as she interacts with her sons.
The best part is both Maddox and Pax have been handling their mother’s emotional side quite well. They have turned into her confidantes, helping her go through the motions.
In an earlier interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jolie shared. “It really meant a lot that my boys were with me on Maria. That was probably one of the more intense things was that — usually when I’m expressing that much pain, it’s not in front of my children. You really try to hide from your children how much pain and sadness you carry.”
