Angelina Jolie is reportedly concentrating on her children rather than career at the moment. The actress, who filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, has been spotted spending quality time with her children off late.

The former couple were together for 12 years before Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016. They share six children - Shiloh, Maddox, Knox, Vivienne, Zahara and Pax.

A source told Hollywood Life: "Angelina has put all of her work and film projects on hold and is devoting herself to her family. She knows what a rough year her kids have been through, so Angelina feels like it is more important to be there for her children rather than chasing another film project."

"It is also a priority for Angie to spend time with them while they are off school, so they know how much she loves them. Angelina doesn't mind that photographers are catching the action too. She wants the world to know that she is a good mom first and a movie star second," the insider added.

Previously, during a recent interview with GQ, Pitt revealed his priority right now are the couple's children. He said: "Family first. People on their deathbeds don't talk about what they obtained or were awarded."

"They talk about their loved ones or their regrets—that seems to be the menu. I say that as someone who's let the work take me away. Kids are so delicate. They absorb everything. They need to have their hand held and things explained. They need to be listened to. When I get in that busy work mode, I'm not hearing. I want to be better at that," Pitt added.
