Jolie and Pitt expecting baby; Springfield family members elated

News-Leader

Doug Pitt confirmed this morning to the News-Leader that Angelina Jolie is expecting a baby with his brother, Brad Pitt, as reported on People magazine’s Web site.

When asked if his family was ecstatic about the baby, he replied
“Absolutely.”

“First and foremost, I’m just happy for Brad and Angie. It’s a big step. I’m just happy for them,” he told the News-Leader.

Doug, who by early this morning had already fielded half a dozen calls from media worldwide, said he’s glad speculation has ended.

He hopes the media will give his brother and Jolie a break.

“They just want a chance to enjoy it, like everybody else,” he said. “I would love for the press to just give them some space, to let them enjoy it.”

According to People magazine’s Web site, Jolie told a charity aid worker Monday, “Yes, I’m pregnant,” in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where she is filming “The Good Shepherd” with Matt Damon.

Representatives for both stars confirmed the report, according to People.

It’s the first biological child for Jolie, 30, and Pitt, 42.

The news comes one year after Pitt and Jennifer Aniston announced their separation. A month ago, Pitt’s publicist, Cindy Guagenti, confirmed a legal petition was filed in Los Angeles seeking to change the names of Jolie’s adopted children to Zahara Jolie-Pitt and Maddox Jolie-Pitt.

Doug Pitt wouldn’t say how long his family has known about the baby, but they’ve had several opportunities to get to know Jolie.

“It’s great,” he said of his brother’s relationship.

Brad Pitt brought Jolie and her kids to visit his family in Springfield on Nov. 20. Brad’s nieces and nephews “had a blast” with Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 1, Doug told the News-Leader a few weeks later.

Pitt’s mother, Jane Pitt, visited her son in California around his Dec. 18 birthday on a “girl trip” with Doug’s wife Lisa, sister Julie Neal and Brad’s nieces.

None of the family visited Brad in California the week of Christmas or New Year's Eve, Doug said, despite what celebrity tabloids have reported.

It's funny how Doug Pitt and their grandmother (Betty someone) are always talking to the press. I'm sure it's well planned out to keep that nice family image going.

It sure sounds like a statement written by Brad’s publicist.

loulou58 · January 16th, 2006, 08:10 AM

im over these two already, theyre not together, then they are, brads not adopting the kids, then he is, then theyre not pregnant, but then they are, theyre not getting married but now they will etc etc etc yawn..... are their publicists not getting bored of it themselves yet?

Their publicists are probably getting ready to check into the same loony bin that Jessica Simpson's checked into right before the "official" notice of separation.

I think it is damage control in a way. Jennifer leaned so heavily on Brad's mother during the divorce, and there were so many rumors about his family not approving, etc.

One thing I find interesting - such a big deal was made at the time that they didn't spend Thanksgiving with his family, and instead went on a UN trip. But here they mention being there 11/20, which would have only been a few days before T-day. Sounds like there was plenty of family time.

My sentiments exactly. I mean really, would they dare make any other comment at this time?
