Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Just Keeping Up Appearances?
The tabloids can't seem to make up their mind. One minute, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are splitting, the next minute they are madly in love. Then there are reports that a journalist lied about Pitt defending Angelina, and now, the couple's spokespeople are of course stating they are still happily together.
It makes it difficult to know where the truth in all this conjecture and speculation really is.Â
What we do know is that Brad and Angelina as a couple have four children under the age of five, we know that three of those children are adopted, 5-year-old Maddox, 2-year-old Zahara, 3-year-old Pax and their one biological child, 11-month-old Shiloh.
We also know that as of yet, none of the three children Angelina Jolie adopted have been officially adopted by Brad Pitt, though he has submitted a petition to adopt both Zahara and Maddox and they do have Pitt as their surname. Only their daughter Shiloh, 11 months, is officially Brad Pitt's child. As of yet, no petition has been filed for Pax on behalf of Pitt, but in fairness, there may be a waiting period for Angelina Jolie's paperwork to be finalized in Pax's native country Vietnam.Â
Another thing we know is Angelina told the press in Vietnam at the time of Pax's adoption her intentions were to stay at home for a while and mother and nurture her expanding brood, when in fact within the first days of returning back home with Pax, Maddox and Zahara, she flew to Chicago for a screen test for her new movie Wanted, which will begin shooting in Prague in May.
And what about those children? Maddox had been enrolled in school for two months when the couple moved to New Orleans at the beginning of the year, and has since been uprooted again and is now back in L.A. living in their Los Feliz home.  The two pre-schoolers, Zaraha and Pax are being dropped off at studio lot daycare center. Sure, kids are resilient, but only when they have a constant and stabilizing force in their lives to balance all the uprooting and moving around. Who is their constant? Brad? He's been working on his film, The Curious Case of Bejamin Button, and Angelina's getting ready to begin her new film — not too mention all her globe-trotting as UN Ambassador and various charitable works.
