Angelina Jolie: 'Brad Pitt Convinced me to Become a Natural Mom'

Angelina Jolie never considered becoming a natural mom -- until her love for Brad Pitt changed her mind.

The Tomb Raider star admits she never saw herself conceiving a child when she first fell for Pitt, even though he told her he wanted to have kids with her.

But the actress has since given birth to the couple's daughter Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne -- and insists she wouldn't trade the experience for the world.

"I was absolutely never going to get pregnant,"  Jolie, 33, tells W magazine, in an article featuring photos taken by Pitt of her breastfeeding. "I never felt that it was the right thing to do. Now I wouldn't trade that experience for the world.

"It taught me a lot about life, just the process of it, and now we have three other beautiful children that wouldn't otherwise be here.

"When we first met, Brad talked about having children in that way. I talked about only adopting children.

"Then he stopped talking about having other kids in the other way after adopting Maddox and Zahara, so I suppose in my heart I realized that he was happy with them as his children, completely. I knew he would never see them as different, and that gave me a certain peace.

"Then I suppose I just looked at him and loved him and just felt open to getting pregnant. I suddenly wanted to."
