It seems Angelina Jolie is in a healthy place: The actress told The Daily Telegraph that she's going through early menopause following the surgical removal of her ovaries and fallopian tubes in March—and she's OK with that.
"I actually love being in menopause," she told the Telegraph. "I haven't had a terrible reaction to it, so I'm very fortunate. I feel older, and I feel settled being older. I feel happy that I've grown up. I don't want to be young again."
The latest surgery was a follow-up to the preventive double mastectomy she underwent in May of 2013. Both surgeries were the result of blood test that showed Angelina had an 87 percent risk of developing breast cancer, which—along with ovarian cancer—killed her mother, actor and producer Marcheline Bertrand, at age 56 in 2007.
Angelina and husband Brad Pitt (the two said "I do" in 2014) have said her health struggles have strengthened their relationship: "It was another one of those things in life that makes you tighter," Brad said on the Today show earlier this month. "She was doing [the surgeries] for her kids and she was doing it for her family so we could be together."
