Angelina Jolie and son Pax on the cover of Hello magazineAngelina Jolie and her new son Pax left Pax’s native Vietnam earlier today to fly to the family’s home in New Orleans.

The pair, along with Angelina’s three other children, were spotted boarding a private Gulfstream jet at Noi Bai Airport in Hanoi after finalising Pax’s visa allowing him to travel to the US with his new family.

While awaiting the paperwork to be finalised, Angelina posed for a photo shoot with Pax and his new siblings, big brother Maddox and little sisters Zahara and Shiloh.

The photos, to be published in Hello magazine in the UK and People magazine in the US, show Pax playing with Maddox and the girls and posing with his new mum.

In the accompanying interview, Angelina reveals that Pax is coping well with all that’s happened to him over the last week: “He is a very serious, very sweet little boy.”

“You can imagine what courage it takes to be in all new surroundings with new people and a new language. He is very strong.”

“We are slowly beginning to build his trust.”

“I will stay at home to help Pax adjust to his new life. I have four children and caring for them is the most important thing for me at the moment. I am very proud and happy to be their mother.”

Angelina’s partner Brad Pitt was unable to travel to Vietnam for Pax’s adoption due to filming commitments.
