Angelina Jolie is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of W magazine. Life & Style magazine reports that Angelina is photographed breast feeding one of her newborn twins in the mag … and, indeed, the cover photo appears to show Ange breast feeding. It’s unclear if there are any other intimately private photos of this nature inside the mag but I think the cover photo deffo makes a statement … check it out:
It’s true! Sources who’ve seen the photos confirm exclusively to Life & Style that Angelina Jolie really did pose for the cover story of W magazine while breast-feeding! “Angelina posed for Brad [Pitt] in one of the photos while breast-feeding,” the source reveals to Life & Style. “It’s really beautiful and tastefully done.” “The photos are amazing,” adds a second source. Brad shot the photos in mid-August at Chateau Miraval, the family’s home in the South of France. They’re scheduled to appear in W’s November issue, hitting newsstands on Oct. 21.
My guess is that this cover photo is prolly the only one to show Ange breast feeding but … who knows … it is the Art Issue after all, I guess we’ll find out soon enough. As for this cover photo, I personally think it’s really a beautiful shot. Very tasteful, very pretty. Angelina really looks like the portrait of motherhood. I quite like this photo. Thus far, no portions of the W interview (if there is one) have been disclosed and no other photos from the mag have come to light … but I’ll keep my eyes out. Since the mag boasts that they have “Brad’s Private Photos of Angelina Jolie” I am very curious to see them. What do y’all think of this cover photo? Is it too much?
[...] now you’ve probably seen it. The W Magazine cover with Angelina Jolie on it? Where she seems to be breastfeeding one of her 50 kids? She looks good. Obvi. It’s Angelina. [...]

After reading the responses already posted, there were so many comments were about whether or not the person was comfortable or thought the picture being on newsstands is appropriate. To those I say, don’t look at it then. If it offends you that much, you don’t have to purchase the magazine. There are so many other things that could be found offensive and to think one of those things is a woman feeding her child. That is all this picture is of, a woman feeding her child. If you are honestly going to say that you are tired of seeing or hearing about Brad or Angelina, get over yourselves. As a mother, and one who attempted to nurse but couldn’t, I find it refreshing to see a healthy, happy woman feeding her healthy, happy child. For all those who have to see something more than what is there, give it a rest.
Brad can come and take a photo of me breastfeeding any old time!!! :0
she’s really pretty here, and if they want to give us a picture to let us see them in a way their totally comfortable with then thats great.. and, there’s tones more nude pics than this one- if you weren’t told she was feeding you prolly wouldn’t have guessed? am i right?
A few things, first of all I LOVE this picture. I’m not exactly a fan of Brangelina, but with all the controversy in the world/media over breastfeeding, I think this is a wonderfully done picture to shed light onto the natural beauty of feeding your child, like many people have already said.
When it comes to the privacy factor, I’m sure many of you have seen the pictures of the paparazzi SWARMING celebs. Before they can get into/out of their cars or stores or wherever, the pap are ALL over them. So yes, that can be overwhelming. Especially when you want to go anywhere with your children. That can be very frightening for young kids. A picture like this one is merely doing it ON THEIR OWN TERMS. Better then sitting in your yard, feeding your children, and having the paparazzi swirling above in helicopters, perched in bushes, etc…. all to get an intimate picture. This was a better way.
And it really disturbs me when people are offended by breastfeeding. I have NEVER seen a mother in public showing her breasts while nursing. We mothers have a job to do, don’t particularly want others seeing our breasts, and understand others dont want to see them. That is why nursing mothers wear button-down shirts or use blankets and other objects to conceal the actual breast. This picture is conservative compared to 85% of newspaper stand covers. GET OVER IT.
The general American public needs to see more women breastfeeding. This is a natural phenomenon and is not a sexual act. Our babies are healthier and happier when they can bond with their mothers and get food made-to-order for them!! Go Angelina!!!!
LOL had to laugh at this comment
“I wouldn’t be surprised if several groups get this banned off the supermarket shelves out of the eyes of babes.”
Breasts are made to feed children. The vast majority of children have seen a boob before. It’s not pornography. Its beautiful. Much less offensive than someone bottle feeding :)
okay so here’s my take
If i were a teenager or any age for that matter, i would be horrified by the fact that my parents plastered baby pictures of me everywhere for the world to see. true, brangelina only sold the pictures to people but they’re everywhere, no kid would like that that. and THEN your dad goes and takes a picture of you, suckling at your mom’s breast and decides to sell it to W magazine, where its placed on the cover, for the world to see. i understand the money goes to charities. but really, aren’t their other ways of contributing to charities without publishing baby pictures? don’t you think it’s just a little too self indulgent? and tad creepy…
Wow, people… it’s a breast. Not a cunt, not a gun, not a crazy Austrian raping his daughter… it’s HALF A BREAST. Which is a hell of a lot less than what is shown on MTV… hell, even the Disney channel. Regardless of it’ “tastefulness” (because that is subjective to everyone), it’s a… say it with me… BREAST. It’s ok to call 90lbs celebrities a fat cow, it’s ok to show dying children in a commercial for some Christian fund, it’s ok to show innocent people killed on the news for the profit of some yahoo in the White House… but GOD FORBID you show HALF a boobie. Eep!
I am not sure what all the chatter is about. While I think it is not necessary and only precipitates controversy I don’t think it is distasteful. Personally I don’t want ot see it but wish that people wouldn’t get all up in arms and offedned. Media loves to feed the public drama and the public eats it up1
God, I bet you pathetic women droning on about the beauty of motherhood, blah, blah, blah, are all living in sexless marriages (or divorces) with a 5 year old in your bed and still on your tit.
As a photographer myself, I find this photo both beautiful and honest. I would much rather see the subtlety and intimacy in this candid shot than the typical posed shots captured by People, US and the like. Also, think about the women who will just pop out a breast in public to feed their children and no one says a word. At least in this picture, she’s partially covered and you see the tiny fingers of her pretty little baby. As for the poster named Mars: these two are not exactly publicity whores, as you so eloquently put it….EVERY dime they receive from magazine exclusives they donate to extremely worthwhile causes. Do your research before spouting idiocy.
Wow. Ashleigh. That is insane. Married w/children AND have breast fed both. Oh ya, and the sex is still great. You obviously have a disgustingly pittiful life yourself.
As for the bs with AJ showing her breast. It would be considered abuse to deprive your child of food. And when a baby is hungry, they are hungry and don’t give a shit who is around. Its a frickin breast. Who gives a rat’s ass? She is feeding her child, which is the responsible thing to do. If you don’t like it, then don’t look, and don’t buy this issue of the magazine. I just can’t believe how shallow and stupid people are. Would we be saying all of this if she had a bottle and was feeding her kid formula? Of course not. Double standards. Breast were created to feed… our society has sexualized them, and something as natural as breastfeeding should not be sexualized.
Sorry – but I have issues with the word “tasteful’ being used around the subject of breastfeeding. Why do people always feel the need to emphasize that “oh – but it’s done tastfully” As opposed to what? Distasteful breastfeeding? Unless I see a woman breastfeeding whilst dancing on a pole – there is no such thing as distasteful breastfeeding! Good god … society is so messed up when it comes to breasts!
To the person who wanted to know why AJ doesn’t adopt an American baby, it is outrageously difficult and time consuming, even for the very rich,to adopt an American baby. While, in other countries, babies by the thousands suffer neglect and separation anxiety and do not thrive because they are in orphanages that are barely staffed. So why fight for years with other Americans over an American baby when you can be a parent in half the time at half the cost to an orphaned little one who might never be parented or loved?
To all of you who have criticized her for doing this I have 2 things to say: 1. Lexie, breastfeeding is NOT a sexual thing shared between the mother and the father. 2. Angie, it would be a grave injustice if this gets banned from supermarket shelves. This is a picture of a mother feeding her child. There are worse magazines that are always out in the open for my children to see when we’re shopping at Wal-Mart: Cosmo, Vouge, Elle, these have all had more questionable cover photos that children should not see and yes Lexie, those WERE sexual in nature!
I agree with Victoria, Ashleigh you are quite rude. I am only 21 and I am breastfeeding my 3 month old who sleeps in his own crib unless I want to snuggle with him, am having incredible sex, and making my relationship work,and I really dont care what anybody thinks about breastfeeding. That is what breasts were made for and I personally think it is just rather selfish to not breastfeed. Sure it can be easier, but formula is not near as good as breastmilk. if you dont feel that motherhood is something special, well there is probably something screwed up with your brain chemistry, because it is only natural for MOST women to feel strong positive emotions about being a mother because if they didn’t it would mean the end of our society. If it weren’t for women being mother’s you wouldn’t be here.
