Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were married last weekend in France, a spokesman said Thursday.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were married Saturday in Correns, France, a spokesman for the couple says. Jolie and Pitt wed in a small chapel in a private ceremony attended by family and friends at Chateau Miraval, a wine estate that the couple owns. In advance of the nondenominational civil ceremony, Pitt and Jolie obtained a marriage licence from a local California judge. The judge also conducted the ceremony in France.
The couple’s children took part in the wedding. Jolie walked the aisle with her eldest sons Maddox and Pax. Zahara and Vivienne threw flower petals. Shiloh and Knox served as ring bearers, the spokesman says.
Jolie and Pitt’s wedding caps years of rampant speculation on when the couple would officially tie the knot. Both had publicly said that they planned to.
“It’s an exciting prospect, even though for us, we’ve gone further than that,” Pitt told The Associated Press in an interview in November 2012. “But to concretize it in that way, it actually means more to me than I thought it would. It means a lot to our kids.”

Pitt and Jolie met in 2004, while working on the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith, in which they played the leads. Rumours began to fly immediately that sparks had flown between the two — intensifying one month after Pitt’s divorce from actress Jennifer Aniston, whom he married in 2000, when he was photographed with Jolie on a beach together.
They announced their engagement in April 2013, with Pitt having worked with jewellery designer Robert Procop on a custom engagement ring for Jolie.
The couple has three biological children together — Shiloh (2006) and twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon (2008) — and three adopted children: Maddox, Zahara and Pax.
This is the second marriage for Pitt, after Aniston. Jolie was previously married to British actor Jonny Lee Miller for three years in the late ’90s and to Billy Bob Thornton for three years before divorcing in 2003.
Both Jolie and Pitt are prepping movies. Jolie’s second directorial effort, the World War II odyssey Unbroken, will be released in December. Pitt stars in the upcoming World War II drama Fury, due out Oct. 17.
