Four months have passed since Angelina Jolie tied the knot for a third time to her longtime partner, and father to their six children, Brad Pitt, and although the Hollywood actress is loving her family, she recently admitted it is “hard work."

Jolie admitted balancing marriage life with Pitt and parenthood is "hard"

The director of the WWII epic ‘Unbroken’ spoke candidly about how difficult marriage and motherhood can be with Australian Women's Weekly, and she even divulged how she and Pitt are constantly trying to better their relationship. “[Brad and I] work really hard at nurturing our family to make sure that everybody is alright and everyone stays connected," Angelina told the magazine. "Maintaining a marriage and raising kids is hard work."

Jolie's latest project is the upcoming marriage-based drama 'By the Sea,' which she also wrote and stars in alongside her husband Brad Pitt. Filmed in Malta just after the couple tied the knot in August, the flick depicts a husband and wife trying to rekindle their dying marriage during a trip to Europe.

As a film schedule can be rather demanding, the Hollywood couple always want at least one of them to be with their six kids, and although this project was tough on their family, Jolie and Pitt tried to let it affect them. "You have to really make sure that your work doesn't get in the way," she added. "That you don't do something that is going to put too much strain on your family."

The usually private Jolie also opened up about her children Shiloh, Knox, Vivienne, Maddox, Zahara and Pax, and explained how she and Pitt prefer having a night in with their brood rather than partying with the rest of the Hollywood A-Listers. “They're six of the funniest people we have ever met in our lives," she said. "We love being home and we love being around them because they are just so entertaining."
