Angelina Jolie Shared an Intimate Photo of Herself With Her Daughter Shiloh in Cambodia
Angelina Jolie shared an intimate photo of herself with her 15-year-old daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, in Cambodia on Instagram, revealing details about the work trip they took to support MJP Foundation.
“A few days in Cambodia among the warm local people, and I feel my soul is recovering,” Jolie wrote. “This has always been a special country for me and our family. Happy to be reunited with friends and colleagues at MJP Foundation in Samlot district. The entirely local team runs programs for health and education and conservation. I spent some time with forest rangers discussing land encroachment, poaching and mapping patrol routes.”
Jolie adopted her oldest son, Maddox, from Cambodia when he was seven months old. She shot Tomb Raider in the country in 2000 and decided to adopt from there two years later. In January 2018, Jolie spoke to reporters about how it has become such a significant place for her family.
“We’ve been coming back and forth for 17 years, it feels like a second home to me,” she said, via People. “The children have close ties to the children here, many of them are their best friends. Maddox is happy to be back in his country.”
Maddox is now 20 and a student at Yonsei University in South Korea. When Jolie dropped him off at college in August 2019, she reflected on how she “ugly cried” leaving him at the airport.
“Oh my god like embarrass your children ugly cry,” she specified to Entertainment Tonight. “I also, just at some point, had the big [sun]glasses and the amount of times I turned and waved. I do know it was the one moment in my life I think I turned around six times before the airport just...and he sweetly stayed and kept waving, knowing that I was going to keep turning around. You could feel he knew he couldn’t leave. It’s nice to know how much he knows he’s loved. And but yeah, I miss him, I miss him. Or I’ll just get out there. It’s not like I haven’t set my plane tickets.”
