Angelina Jolie is notorious for her acting skills and charity work; some might even say she has the full package. But the June Elle cover girl admits she never thought she would have a happy ending when it came to love and family.
"I never thought I'd have children, I never thought I'd be in love, I never thought I'd meet the right person," the actress confessed.
"Having come from a broken home - you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don't look for them."
Almost a decade ago, everything changed when she met Brad Pitt on the set of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." They are now engaged and have a brood of six children together.
"You get together and you're two individuals and you feel inspired by each other, you challenge each other, you complement each other, drive each other beautifully crazy," the sexy Jolie gushed to the mag.
She then added, "After all these years, we have history - and when you have history with somebody, you're friends in such a very real, deep way that there's such a comfort, and an ease, and a deep love that comes from having been through quite a lot together."
Jolie stars in upcoming Disney flick "Maleficent" alongside daughter Vivenne, who plays Aurora.
"For young Aurora, they needed a child who wouldn't be fazed by the Mistress of All Evil hissing 'I don't like children' in her face. And my little Vivienne - we call her my shadow, because there's nothing I can do to shake her. I can be tired, I can be grumpy, I can be in a terrible mood, and she doesn't care. It's 'Mommy, Mommy,' and she'll cling to me," she says of working with her daughter.
"We knew that she would still do that thing, she'd still smile at me and insist that I pick her up. So we couldn't really cast anybody else."
