The mother of six revealed to the Associated Press that she “never wanted to have a baby” and that it wasn’t until she visited Cambodia that it was “suddenly very clear that [her] son was in the country, somewhere.” Jolie adopted Maddox, 15, from Cambodia in 2001, Pax, 13, from Vietnam in 2003 and Zahara, 12, from Ethiopia in 2005. The philanthropist also has three biological children with Brad Pitt.
