The truth is out about Ange’s relationship with her twins, and Brad. Jackie Brygel reports.
It was a scene that just months ago would have seemed almost unimaginable – a smiling Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt enjoying the Venice sunshine with their 20-month-old twins, Knox and Vivienne.
These happy family outings have become an increasingly common sight as Angelina, 34, and Brad, 46, put behind them months of rowing and behind-the-scenes dramas.
Now the truth behind Ange’s problems and the twins’ lengthy disappearance from the public eye can be revealed, with reports she was battling postnatal depression (PND).
According to several sources, an exhausted Ange endured months of emotional turmoil after Knox and Vivienne’s birth in July, 2008. They cried uncontrollably due to colic, and the mum-of-six was rarely seen out with them.
Ange quickly fell into “depression mode”, an insider has told In Touch Weekly magazine.
“[Angelina] had been staying in bed most of the time”, the source says. She had “to force herself to remember to eat” because she was still breastfeeding. A listless Ange was “crying at the drop of a hat”, and felt consumed by her twins.
