Ange 'overwhelmed' by memories of Brad

Their relationship might be over, but it seems Angelina Jolie can't escape the once sweet memories she shared with ex Brad Pitt.

The 42-year-old, who has recently taken the couple's six children to Africa in celebration of daughter's Zahara's birthday, is said to have become "overwhelmed" by the memories she and her soon-to-be ex-husband shared there during their relationship.

"Obviously, Shiloh was born there, so she feels a very close connection to the continent, and she loved Ethiopia," an insider told HollywoodLife.com.

"Angelina is also planning to stop over in Namibia before flying back home - she has very fond memories of the time she and Brad spent there when Shiloh was born."

Ange took the former couple's brood, Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 11, and 8-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to celebrate Zahara's special day before reportedly heading to Kenya, to continue her humanitarian work and speaking on World Refugee Day.

"The kids love to travel more than anything, and they were really excited to go to Africa," the source added.

However the African trip meant the children weren't be able to spend Father's Day with Brad, the first he's celebrated alone after splitting with Ange last September.

It wasn't all bad news though, with the insider telling the publication the 54-year-old got to see his clan before they jetted off.

"The kids got to spend some time with Brad, on Saturday morning, before going to the airport. They went to his house and had a really lovely early Father’s Day celebration with him.

"They gave their dad homemade cards and some little presents they created especially for him, and Brad was absolutely thrilled."
