Angelina Jolie recently shared heartfelt insights about her eldest adopted daughter, Zahara, describing her as “an extraordinary African girl.” Zahara became a part of Jolie’s family when she adopted her from an orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2005.
Zahara holds a special place among Jolie’s three daughters. In a virtual conversation with Ugandan environmental activist Vanessa Nakate for Time magazine, Jolie spoke fondly of Zahara, emphasizing her unique connection to her African roots.
“My daughter is from Ethiopia, and she is one of my favorite children,” Jolie expressed during the online interview. “I have learned a lot from her. She is part of my family and an extraordinary African girl with special connections to her homeland and roots.”
Jolie shares parenting responsibilities with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, raising six children together, including Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne.
Recent sightings of Brad Pitt visiting Jolie’s residence in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, suggest a potential improvement in their post-divorce relationship. The couple went through a complex divorce process, struggling to agree on child-rearing arrangements, including financial support.
Following extensive psychological counseling and family mediation, Jolie and Pitt agreed on co-parenting. Despite their differences, both prioritize spending time with their children, who regularly move between their parents’ homes.
Reflecting on their past, Jolie shared her desire to live abroad once her children reach adulthood. However, post-divorce custody arrangements restrict her ability to relocate without agreement from Pitt.
Pitt has publicly acknowledged struggling with alcohol addiction during their marriage but has since worked towards sobriety, earning him increased visitation rights with his children.
Overall, Jolie’s candid remarks shed light on her deep bond with Zahara and her ongoing journey of co-parenting with Pitt.
