What Angelina Jolie Had To Say About Shiloh Jolie-Pitt As A Baby

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced that they were expecting their first child together in 2006. The couple, who at that time was in Swakopmund, Namibia, gave birth to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt on May 27, per People.

Shiloh had been a part of the family for only a year and Jolie felt that she had already started to see a lot of herself in the little one. “Shi’s so full of light and love, she’s just a little honey, and very, very funny. I think I’m recognizing some of myself in that one — she’s going to be a little bit of trouble!” she told MSN in 2007 (via People).

Speaking to Reuters in 2010, Jolie revealed that Shiloh used to think that she was one of the brothers. “I think she is fascinating, the choices she is making. And I would never be the kind of parent to force somebody to be something they are not. I think that is just bad parenting,” Jolie told the outlet, adding that children should be allowed to express themselves in whatever way they wish without anybody judging them. “It is an important part of their growth, Jolie added. “Society always has something to learn when it comes to the way we judge each other, label each other. We have far to go.”
