          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.
