Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are engaged to marry, a spokeswoman for Pitt said yesterday.
“Yes, it’s confirmed. It is a promise for the future and their kids are very happy. There’s no date set at this time,” Pitt’s spokeswoman Cynthia Pett-Dante said.
Pitt (48) and Jolie (36) have been a couple since 2005, and are raising six children together, but until now have said they had no plans to marry.
But Jolie was photographed at a Los Angeles museum this week wearing a large diamond ring on her engagement finger that Pitt had helped to design.
Jewellery maker Robert Procop said he had fashioned the ring in collaboration with Pitt, specifically for the actress. “The full creative journey – from conception to completion – took a year, with Brad Pitt waiting until the perfect moment to unveil this special jewel to Angelina Jolie,” Mr Procop’s spokeswoman said in a statement yesterday.
The couple, dubbed Brangelina by celebrity media, have previously resisted pressure to marry. – (Reuters)
