Angelina Jolie blurs the privacy/publicity line as a magazine cover shows her breastfeeding.

The photo, taken by partner Brad Pitt shortly after the birth of their twins Knox and Vivienne, appears on the cover of November’s W magazine and shows the actress smiling while a tiny hand can be seen at the bottom of the frame.

Inside the magazine, which features more pictures taken by Pitt while they stayed at Château Miraval, Jolie reveals she didn’t mind being photographed.

"I'm with a man who's evolved enough to look at my body and see it as more beautiful, because of the journey it has taken and what it has created," she explained. "He genuinely sees it that way. So I genuinely feel even sexier."

She also reveals she never intended to have children of her own before meeting the ‘Ocean’s 11’ actor.

"I think one of the life changing things that he did, one of many, is that I was absolutely never going to get pregnant. I never felt that it was the right thing to do," the 33-year-old said.

When she saw the 44-year old Pitt interact with their adopted children Maddox and Zahara, she decided she wanted to fall pregnant.

"I suppose I just looked at him and loved him and just felt open to (getting pregnant)," she told the magazine. "I suddenly wanted to. It's one of those things you can't explain."

Since becoming involved with Pitt in 2005, Jolie has given birth to Shiloh (two) and the three-month old twins.

"I wouldn't trade that experience for the world," she explained. "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."

The ‘Changeling’ actress also reveals that Vivienne is "sturdier" and "more demanding" than he brother and the she intends to show her children the world: "If you tell them we're getting on a plane tomorrow, they're all excited to pack their bags, and if you say we're not coming back for months, they won't bat an eye."

Jolie, who has a third adopted child Pax, isn’t the first celebrity to be snapped breastfeeding — in 1991 Jerry Hall appeared in Vanity Fair with her son with Mick Jagger.
