Angelina Jolie’s daughter Zahara has opened up about her family life, giving an incredible insight into her relationship with her famous mom.
On Sunday, April 26, the college student spoke at a mother-daughter brunch for the Pearl of Purpose Foundation in Atlanta, which was also attended by Angelina.
As per a video posted on Instagram account @thejoliechronicles_, Zahara – who looked stylish dressed in a floral pink dress and white fascinator – opened up about the value of mother-daughter relationships.
She admitted it “felt challenging”, clarifying: “Not challenging because I don’t value it, but because my mom and I have a unique, almost kindred, relationship that can be hard to put into words.”
Discussing the relationship she has with the rest of her family, she continued: “Our love for each other is a found one. I was adopted at 6 months old and given some of the most special and loving people as my siblings, with a mom who raised us on the value of helping others, being kind and always striving for growth as people.
“These values may sound simple, but in a world where kindness is overlooked and helping others comes at a cost, I am grateful to have had a role model to show me what it looks like to be a decent human being.”

My family embraces the newness and strives to understand these meaningful organizations in my life as I share my experiences.”
