Angelina Jolie has claimed she feared for the safety of her family during her marriage to Brad Pitt.
The actress filed for divorce from Brad in September 2016, just two years after the couple finally tied knot after 10 years together.
The former Hollywood couple share six children – Maddox, 20, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12.
In a new interview with The Guardian about her upcoming book on children’s rights, Angelina said she “can’t speak about” her own legal situation.
The actress was asked if she feared for the safety of her children during her marriage, to which she replied: “Yes, for my family. My whole family.”
“I’m not the kind of person who makes decisions like the decisions I had to make lightly,” the 46-year-old explained. “It took a lot for me to be in a position where I felt I had to separate from the father of my children.”
“[I want] all of us, including their dad, to heal and be peaceful. We’ll always be a family,” she added.
“I’m realising that sometimes you can survive things, but not know how to feel and live in the same way. So, it’s more about being open. I’m really trying to be open as a human being again.”
