Brad Pitt Says He & Angelina Jolie May Reconsider Marriage Stance

Brad Pitt: Time to Re-Consider Getting Married?

Having long held the position that "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," could Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie be having a change of heart?

"The kids ask about marriage. It's meaning more and more to them," the Tree of Life star and father of six tells USA Weekend. "So it's something we've got to look at."

While a wedding may still be on the distant horizon, what Pitt, 47, does makes clear is that his children – ages 2 to 9 – have already turned his life around.

"Kids hold up a mirror to you," he says. "You can't make excuses. You've got to make sure they've brushed their teeth and eaten a good breakfast. You want to be present if they wake up with a bad dream."

While he has admitted to enjoying the chaos his large brood sometimes creates, Pitt also owns up to a certain order in their lives, whether at their Los Angeles "base camp" – as he calls the family's main home – or on international film sets.

"On the road, we're a military mobile unit," he says. "The kids have got their stuff down to one backpack, and they're each responsible for their own bag. Mom does the packing; she's quite gifted at that. Puts in just what we need – nothing extra."

"We're pretty nomadic," he remarks. "We go where the crops are."

Despite their extraordinary circumstances, he says, "Angie and I do everything we can to carve out some semblance of normalcy for them, to re-create the kinds of moments that were special for us."

That also includes private time for the adults. "There are no secrets at our house," Pitt says. "We tell the kids, 'Mom and Dad are going off to kiss.' They go, 'Eww, gross!' But we demand it."

No gives a shit. Seriously.

And why does he keep saying the kids always ask about marriage and it means a lot to them? I lived with my kids' father for almost eight years and they never once asked if we were married. I don't know of any other kids who would even think of something like that unless the parents were the ones talking about it all the time. It seems kind of fake to me. If you have to justify marrying someone, maybe you shouldn't bother.

Whatever. Do they also inform the kiddos when they're smokin weed (for Brad) and the H for Angie? Just STFU.

what's with the douchey eye-wear and all-white guido outfit?

He sounds like his junkie future-wife.
Instead of promoting his new movie
he talks about his privacy...freaks.

I've been with my son's father for 18 years and my son is 16, he's never once asked or said anything about marriage. I doubt any child of a unmarried couple would care whether or not their parents are married, after all, it is all they would know anyway, so married or not, it wouldn't make a difference.

I think the two of them are planning to get married and are using the kids as the excuse to overshadow their earlier statement of not marrying unless everyone is able.

Beats "rubbing bottoms". I'll just leave that there.

So its no secret I now like Angelina but no way possible can I even begin with him. What a silly looking nut-less idiot armPITT is!!

I have 2 friends who have kids, are in committed relationships but are not married. Both are going through this with their kids right now. The kids are in school and are asking why they are not married when most of the other Mommies and Daddies are. The one couple has decided they will take a family vacation and get married this summer. The other keeps explaining to their kids that marriage is just a legal situation and that they are just as committed as the parents who are married.

**VenusInFauxFurs** · May 30th, 2011, 08:27 PM

Yeah, it depends. Some kids ask stuff like that.

My son asked a lot about marriage at one point, even though I was engaged (didn't work out as you all know) I very nicely explained things in 5 year old speak. Children get their heads filled with so much crap at school that the teachers have no control over, at one point my son came home and explained "baby cheeses" and the dead after another 4 year old was dragged to a funeral.
