This past August, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt married in an intimate ceremony in the south of France, attended by only close family members. The wedding was, by all accounts, a low-key event at the family’s vineyard property Château Miraval that was planned by the couple’s six children. Pax made the cake. Zahara and Vivienne were flower girls. Shiloh and Knox were ring bearers. Maddox and Pax walked Jolie down the aisle. The kids helped write the marital vows. The children’s drawings even adorned Jolie’s Versace wedding gown. And now, in a new interview, Jolie confesses that she had actually married Pitt before the summer wedding.But they legally had to. “Before the wedding in France with the kids, Brad and I were already married in California,” Jolie tells Italian magazine Io Donna. “As Americans, we couldn't marry legally in France.” Jolie insinuates that the couple’s first wedding was just as relaxed as the Château Miraval follow-up. “One day I said to Brad, ‘Let's meet up at 4:30 P.M.?’ I called a justice of the peace and we signed the documents.” So . . . maybe not the most romantic of wedding descriptions.Previously, Jolie described how she feels following the couple’s wedding (or two). “It does feel different,” Jolie told Vanity Fair in the magazine’s December cover story, of her evolving relationship with Brad Pitt. “It feels nice to be husband and wife.” She also divulged some details about the vows their children wrote for them. “They did not expect us never to fight, but they made us promise to always say, ‘Sorry,’ if we do. So they said, ‘Do you?,’ and we said, ‘We do!’ ”

She’s famed for making a successful career for herself in the acting world, but over the past few years Angelina Jolie has been busy continuing her work as a UN Goodwill Ambassador.And now, the Hollywood star and her husband Brad Pitt are set to be introduced to Pope Francis in a special ‘VIP meet-and-greet at the Vatican,’ according to Us Weekly.The 39-year-old actress was spotted with her daughters Shiloh, aged eight, and nine-year-old Zahara at Ciampino airport in Rome on Wednesday afternoon – prompting further speculation she is due to meet the leader of the Catholic Church in the next few days.Dressed in a chic black overcoat and knee-length leather boots, Angelina was unable to hide her smile as she headed towards her car with her young girls by her side.According to the publication, the American star’s head of security flew out to Italy earlier on to do a security check ahead of the family’s arrival.A source revealed that both Angelina and Brad ‘admire the Pope’ and ‘like the Pope's message’ after he famously spoke about homosexuality in 2013, where he said: ‘If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has goodwill, who am I to judge?’ Meanwhile, the couple – who have been together for nearly a decade - finally cemented their relationship after tying the knot in August.Angelina recently spoke about their reasons for marrying after such a long time, and how she feels their relationship has changed since becoming husband and wife.
'What was lovely about it was that we didn't feel there was something missing or that we needed to get married. We felt so complete, and the commitment to children is one that you cannot walk away from, so we already had that commitment,' she told Daily Mirror.'It was really that we wanted to re-commit in a deeper way, and we wanted to celebrate the union with our children.'However, despite being a long-term couple, she added that she can feel a change somewhat since becoming a wife: 'And it does feel different when you say, 'my husband' or 'my wife'. It warms you in a different way and you look at that person a little differently.' Angelina and Brad will partner up professionally yet again in the film By The Sea, which will hit theatres in 2015. They will portray on-screen husband and wife in the drama, who end up striking up a friendship with locals of an ocean side town while stopping by during their travels.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie to Meet Pope Francis at the Vatican

Hollywood meets the Holy See! Tinseltown royalty Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are taking a very special trip to Rome this month, not to eat pasta and tour the Colosseum, but to meet the Pope, an insider reveals exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly. The A-listers will fly to Italy in early January "for a VIP meet-and-greet at the Vatican with Pope Francis," the source says of the stars, who consider themselves nonreligious. Pitt, 51, grew up Baptist but later distanced himself from his faith, telling The Hollywood Reporter in 2012, "I don't have a great relationship with religion. I oscillate between agnosticism and atheism." That said, a friend tells Us that both the actor and his wife "admire the Pope" and "like the Pope's message." (Pope Francis is thought to be more tolerant than his predecessors; speaking about homosexuality in 2013, he famously said, "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has goodwill, who am I to judge?") The jet-setting stars have been busy in recent days with individual projects — Pitt was at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Jan. 3, while Jolie was spotted in Las Vegas — but arrangements for their visit are under way.
