Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie is gearing up to celebrate a significant milestone as she turns 50 on June 4, 2025. The Oscar-winning actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian, renowned for her unforgettable performances in films like Girl, Interrupted, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and Maleficent, is stepping into this new chapter with a heart full of gratitude and reflection.
A source close to Jolie shared with PEOPLE that she “appreciates getting older,” a perspective influenced by the loss of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who sadly passed away from cancer at just 56. “Her focus is shifting back to her foundation work as her family needs her less,” the insider noted, emphasizing Jolie’s strong dedication to her philanthropic efforts through the MJP Foundation, which supports communities in Cambodia. Jolie is a proud mother of six—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne—whom she shares with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt.
Even with her immense global fame, Jolie is known for keeping her personal life under wraps. Reports indicate that her children are thrilled about her upcoming milestone and are encouraging her to celebrate, although she tends to favor more intimate gatherings. “She usually prefers to just stay home with her kids, but everyone has been urging her to have a proper celebration,” a source told In Touch. The family is reportedly planning a small, meaningful get-together, with Jolie’s dream being a trip to her home in Cambodia with all her children.
As she steps into her sixth decade, Jolie continues to inspire as an artist, advocate, and devoted mother—showing that age only enriches her legacy.
