It’s her first Mother’s Day since starting a new life as a single mom.
But Angelina Jolie certainly seems to be adjusting to her new world, spending a quiet Sunday strolling around Malibu with her children.
The actress joined ten-year-old Shiloh, and eight-year-olds Vivienne and Knox as they took their dog for a walk around the streets near their luxury estate.
Casually dressed for the day in the heat, Angelina wore an all black outfit of a dress and blazer, protecting herself from the sun with a khaki page boy hat.
Not seen were her three oldest children – 12-year-old Zahara, 13-year-old Pax and 15-year-old Maddox.
Angelina has primary custody of her six children following her split from estranged husband Brad Pitt last year.
And the children are sure to have made every effort to make the day a special one for their devoted mother.
Indeed later in the day she was seen enjoying some one on one time with son Pax, with the two heading to TAO Asian Bistro in Los Angeles.
A source told DailyMail.com: ‘Angelina appeared in high-spirits and seemed amused by the restaurant’s geisha-shaped chopstick rests which say, Stolen from TAO underneath.’
But while the 41-year-old loves nothing more than her children’s company, her happiness was sure to have been tempered by her grief for her own mother, Marcheline Bertrand.
Angelina lost her mother to cancer in 2007, leaving her devastated.
Meanwhile her estranged husband is busy promoting his new movie War Machine – and in so doing so is opening up about the split.
Talking to AP, the actor explained: ‘I’ve got no secrets. I’ve got nothing to hide. We’re human and I find the human condition very interesting. If we’re not talking about it, then we’re not getting better.’
The 53-year-old added that he and Angelina were: ‘figuring out the new configuration of our family.’
Leading the way: Vivienne held onto the dog’s lead during the walk
‘Kids are everything,’ he said. ‘Kids are your life. They’re taking all the focus, as they should anyway.’
Of his recovery following the split, Bra added: ‘I’m not suicidal or something. There’s still much beauty in the world and a lot of love.
‘And a lot of love to be given. It’s all right. It’s just life.’
