Angelina Jolie is set to mark a significant milestone this June as she turns 50, and sources reveal she plans to celebrate in a meaningful way, surrounded by her loved ones.
According to Life & Style, Jolie’s children, whom she shares with ex-husband Brad Pitt, have encouraged the actress to throw a special celebration for the occasion. The actress is said to be inviting close friends to the event, with Salma Hayek and Ellen Pompeo topping the guest list. Hayek, a long-time friend, and Pompeo, who has maintained a strong bond with Jolie, are expected to be in attendance. Also joining the celebration will be Loung Ung, a Cambodian author and activist whom Jolie met over 20 years ago during her humanitarian work in Cambodia.
While the birthday celebration will certainly involve her close friends, a key part of Jolie’s celebration plans revolves around spending quality time with her six children. The actress, known for her deep love for her family, has expressed her wish for a special recreational trip with her children to her home in Cambodia. According to the source, Jolie’s “love language is quality time,” and for her birthday gift, she’s requested that her kids join her for a trip to the place she holds dear.
Although the trip is not required to take place on her actual birthday, the insider shared that Jolie is hoping to make it happen sometime this year. “They’ve all got their own busy lives, and she’s got work commitments, so she’s said it doesn’t have to be on her birthday,” the source revealed. However, the trip to Cambodia remains a top priority, as it is a place that deeply resonates with Jolie—a “happy place” for her and her family.
As Jolie approaches her 50th birthday, her plans reflect her deep commitment to family and the special relationships she has nurtured over the years. With her children, close friends, and a place that holds personal significance, Jolie’s milestone birthday is shaping up to be a celebration of love, connection, and meaningful moments.
