However, it was Jolie who broke the news to Mike.
“Jolie was FaceTiming him and he was like, ‘Guess what, daddy? Mommy’s engaged!'” the singer recalled. “And he was like, ‘Oh, that’s great.’ I wanted to tell her, but I was like, I don’t want Jolie to have to keep secrets from her dad.”
His ex immediately congratulated him and they talked about co-parenting.
“Once we got through that conversation, he was like, ‘Hey, I’m so happy for you,'” she said. “He was like, ‘Allan is a good guy.’ And I said, ‘Thank you.’ And honestly, I started crying ’cause he said, ‘Of all people, you deserve to have someone who loves you and respects you and you deserve this.’ He said, ‘After everything I’ve given you, you deserve it more than anyone else.’ And it means a lot to me that he said that.”
