Angelina Jolie has finally admitted that she and Brad Pitt fell in love while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. Hollywood’s most glamorous couple have long been at pains to stress that they only fell for one another AFTER Brad had split from the Friends star, but Jolie has confessed that they found love on the set of ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ in 2004.
However, it was not clear if the “confession” was a bid for more openness or an accidental slip-up during an interview in which she was “jet-lagged”. The revelation came during a seemingly innocent comment that she was excited about one day her children being able to see Mum and Dad in Mr And Mrs Smith. She explained: “Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love.”
Jolie also made no secret of their desire for their family to keep getting bigger still. “I mean, I know we seem crazy, just bringing them in one after the other, but we do plan,” she insisted. “We make sure one is absorbed completely into the family before we add another. “There are moments when we look at everyone around the dinner table, and it’s just crazy, but our family is the greatest thing we’ve done in our lives.”
So great, in fact, Jolie may put her blossoming Hollywood career on hold. She says she plans to stay home for another full year, and she expects acting to play a diminishing role in her life as time goes by. Since the twins were born almost four months ago, the older children have been home-schooled, “and they’ve had Mummy and Daddy every day for every meal, and they’ve been very close to us”, Jolie said.
