Jolie is 'calmest ever' as a mother of six

Angelina Jolie feels more at ease with herself than ever before after becoming a mother to twins.

The actress and her partner Brad Pitt welcomed babies Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon into the world in July - expanding their brood of children to six.

But Jolie insists her hectic home life has been good for her soul, as she's the calmest she's ever been.

She tells Japan's Elle magazine: "I have become a lot stronger than I used to be. Although it is strange to say myself, I think I have become a better woman.

"I feel like I have found the calmest place in life."

The Jolie-Pitt family also consists of adopted kids Maddox, seven; Pax, four, and Zahara, three; as well as biological daughter Shiloh, two.
