Angelina Jolie, in her first U.S. interview since daughter Shiloh Nouvel was born three weeks ago, said her son Maddox, 4, adores his new sister – while daughter Zahara, 16 months, is still coping with the addition to the family.

"Mad loves her," Jolie said Tuesday on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360. "Because when Z came home she was older, she was 7 months old, so for Mad it's like having this tiny little pet he can just hold and look at. He's great."

But, she added, "Z's a little jealous because she's still a little girl."

Jolie, who said she and Brad Pitt would adopt their next child, also spoke about the relief she felt last year upon learning that Zahara, whom she'd adopted from Ethiopia, was not HIV-positive – as were many of the children she'd also considered taking home.

On a happier note, she said she was thrilled to find that her feelings for Shiloh, her first biological child, were no different from those she felt for her adopted children.

"I was kind of prepared to defend my other children," she said. "I was prepared to kind of give them extra love and attention, because something was going to be different about this new one." (source:people.aol.com)
