Angelina Jolie is finally speaking out about her significant weight loss over the last several months.

At the NYC premiere of A Mighty Heart Wednesday night, Jolie, 32, told reporters that the reason she’s been shedding pounds is because she’s been grieving over the death of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died of ovarian cancer in January.

“I’ve always been lean and this year I lost my mom and I’ve gone through a lot,” said the actress, who is currently in New York with boyfriend Brad Pitt, 43, and their children, Maddox, 5, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and one-year-old Shiloh.

“I have four kids and I finished breastfeeding – it’s been hard to get my nutrition back on track.”

Jolie sparked concern among fans earlier this year when her already thin frame grew even smaller and the veins on her arms started protruding. But she insists that vanity is not to blame for her shrinking figure.

“Instead of people saying I look like a person dealing with something emotionally, they assume it’s because I want to fit into skinny jeans.”

She added, “Someone saying to me that I’m thin is not a compliment.”

They both look absolutely amazing…can’t deny that!

On when she’s most talkative:

“I don’t know how he does it, but … I talk a lot in the bath. It’s easier to talk when you’re naked … Get naked with me, and I’ll talk!”

On her growing relationship with Brad Pitt:

“I think we both went on a lot of faith – we really did. Our family has grown very quickly, and we have a lot of responsibility together, and we acknowledge that we are lucky we turned out be for each other everything we’d hoped. We could have been very wrong, but every challenge we hit has brought us closer. It has been that kind of relationship.”

On good dad Brad:

“It’s hot. There’s nothing sexier than a man who is a great father.”

On being especially happy for son Maddox:

“I’m so happy for my children – especially Mad. I didn’t know if he was ever going to have a dad. So when I watch them having real strong father-son time, or even when Mad tells me, ‘This is a boy thing, Mom’ – it’s just really beautiful to see.”

On Pax’s underwear trouble:

“I’m still having trouble convincing Pax that underwear and pants go together – underwear is not pants!”

On Zahara undoing her hair:

“You do her hair; She takes it out. It’s like everybody just starts to undress once you’ve gotten them dressed.”

Oh Shiloh recently learning how to walk:

“So she’s falling and trying to eat everything in the place.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s latest family addition has officially taken their surnames.

A Santa Monica court on Thursday approved Pax Thien’s name change to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt, a court clerk confirms to PEOPLE.

Pax, 3, was adopted from a Vietnamese orphanage in March, joining Pitt and Jolie’s three other children, Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 1.

Because Vietnamese law makes it difficult for unmarried couples to adopt, Jolie adopted Pax on her own, but he is being raised by both the actress and Pitt.

In April, Jolie formally requested that the court change her new son’s name to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.

In January 2006, after Jolie made a similar request in the same court, her other adopted children, Maddox and Zahara, were officially named Jolie-Pitt.
