After a year of speculation, BRAD PITT's publicist has confirmed the actor is dating ANGELINA JOLIE, by releasing a statement from both of them confirming the actress is pregnant.
The Hollywood couple have been regularly photographed with Jolie's adopted children MADDOX and ZAHARA over the past year, but both have refused to confirm the nature of their relationship.
The couple have always vehemently denied they became romantically involved on the set of MR AND MRS SMITH in 2004, while Pitt was still married to JENNIFER ANISTON.
After weeks of rumours of Jolie's pregnancy, America's People magazine quoted the actress as telling a charity worker in the Dominican Republic, "Yes, I'm pregnant."
A statement from Pitt's publicist CINDY GUAGENTI issued yesterday confirms the actor is set to be a father and refers to him and Jolie as "they" for the first time.
Guagenti says, "I can confirm they are expecting. There isn't a lot more to say."
