Brad Pitt's Parents On Angelina: 'Very Proud'

Nosy tabloids have wanted to know since forever: do Brad Pitt's parents approve of Angelina Jolie, the reformed wild child who now saves her "wild side" for Brad? Could his family finally embrace his "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" co-star after she allegedly stole him from beloved wife Jennifer Aniston -- whom mom Jane and sister Julie remained close to and still visited post-break-up?

In short, the answer is yes. (What else did you expect?)

Accompanying Angelina and Brad down the red carpet at the premiere of Angelina's directorial debut film, "In the Land of Blood and Honey," Jane and Brad Pitt looked the picture of proud parents, beaming alongside the Hollywood power couple. When asked by reporters, Brad's parents said they were "very proud" of their son's partner and that Angelina -- mother of the six Jolie-Pitts -- was a "really good mom."

Brad most recently told "Parade Magazine" in September that his marriage to Aniston may have had "something to do" with his not "living an interesting life" -- and that he was "trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn't."

Meanwhile, Brad and Angelina, who began publicly dating in 2005, have expressed no immediate plans to marry.

"We've explained to them that our commitment, when we decided to start a family, was the greatest commitment you could possibly have," Angelina told "Nightline" on Monday. "Once you have six children, you're committed."

Awesome photo's and I am tired of hearing about " prissey-jealous Aniston"- she should NEVER be mentioned in this article - But since you brought it up. Amiston never wanted kids and now she is wanting a kid and TRYING to do all these things with kids that Angelina has been doing for a long time. The best to Brad n Angelina with their family and life.. We all should be so lucky to have what they have and give back.

Can we read about someone different besides Angelina, Brad, Jennifer and that lot? Brad's parents, now THEY are interesting.

The father sure doesn't appear to be that pleased, the mother looks as though she is trying very hard, and Angelina seems to not be amused...the body language and face expressions don't seem to match this headline

I always thought JA and BP made the perfect couple..actually JA and SW would be more perfect but i am no BP by any stretch. AJ needs a bath constantly. I prefer the JA look...I have no idea what any of them are really like, and just going by what little I have read, seen in interview and looks...pretty weak assessment but nevertheless no one else here has much else to work with either...it's taste by looking at the material we are given to work with. JA seems so cool and layed back...she's super sexy and AJ, again, deeerrrtay..as in Joe Deertay.

You have got to be kidding!! "Layed back"? That might be the "look" JA cultivates, but that lady is more high maintenance than AJ ever could be! Do you realize how much hard work--not to mention time & money--goes into being tanned, toned & tousled so "effortlessly"? Glowing, nude make up takes a lot more prepping & priming than doing smokey eyes with a nice red lipstick. And Jolie can wear a dress that covers her from her neck down to her toes & still look sexy, while Aniston always needs to flash cleavage or her legs to distract people from her insecurities (namely her face, even though she has lovely eyes). You'll rarely even find a photo of JA without her hair covering 40% of her face!

No, I wasnt kidding!!! You act like I'm speaking for you... I don't even understand your overbearing language. Let me try to clarify my point... Key word "my." I thought BP JA were a nice looking couple. That's the long and short of it and does my opinion matter? Only to you it seems! Secondly I prefer JA over AJ. That's based on screen personality, sex appeal which is shallow but not like I am making a choice whom to marry here.... I think you short sell AJ's personal needs plus the added fun of raising a family of potpourri children.. Which I think is awesome but certainly still demanding even with their endless means financially. And you don't think AJ spends time on herself? You better chickety check yourself before you wreck yourself

Dear MYi: Well gee, I guess i was not the only JA fan. Men's Health magazine voted her "hottest woman of all time." I would not necessarily agree with that either, but that is my opinion. What you have failed to hear and understand is this is my opinion from the start and give me stupid reasons on a stupid subject why i am wrong. I don't care if you prefer AJ....but since you bring up these "works" JA goes through, well how is it you know she does all that primping is true? You must know her personally? I doubt it...and if so, JEALOUS? YES"SUM. you think that AJ doesn't have her own program going? I get tired myself just looking at AJ holding her kids in a formal ball gown in pictures. The day AJ wears a dress that is from her neck down to toes is a day I will agree with you...Every dress she wears shows off more prison ink and skin than JA ever thought of showing...JA is hot, AJ is gothy and IN MY OPINION UNHEALTHY LOOKING. And does my opinion matter? Only to you it seems. I personally would not let JA go for AJ..end of my story. BTW JA has no cleavage to flash to distract even the most imaginative mind.

I think that people automatically assume that because AJ's always been cast in sexpot and super sultry roles and plays up her looks, that she must have slept with him while he was married to Jennifer Aniston. There are three people who have never, stated that. There is nothing wrong with realizing that you are unhappy and finding that someone else can make you happy. Some people want to villanize AJ just because they can't imagine that she might actually be a good person. Not all marriages are made to last, and maybe his with JA just ran its course. You don't have to have a physical relationship with someone to fall in love with them. Maybe he saw how she was with her son and realized that he wanted that, but JA wouldn't commit to that. Who cares if his parents like her, she gave them grandchildren, and I'm sure they love them!

Oh shut up. Can you be any more up her behind? Do the math stalker. Shiloh wasn't premature now count back 9 months. Thats whats wrong with you people today. You are only concerned with what makes you happy and you have no dedication to anything. Nevermind your sacred vows to forsake all others. You get twitchy when you realize marriage isn't rainbows and purple sprinkles. Has it ever occurred to you that Saint Angie won't marry Brad because she's afraid karma will drop kick her??

[asantewa3]

Since you want to act like a child...ehy dont you make me! Does Jennifer aniston pay you to come on here and defend her? She could easily out him as an adulterer if she wanted and the world would have believed her, so why didn't she? If I'm an angelina stalker (lol, by the way) then I would have to think you're a Jennifer stalker. If you don't like her do much why did you click on a story about her?

[chicamorena]

I very much doubt Angie has any worries about karma or anything else drop-kicking her. Now here's some math for you: Shiloh was born at the end of May 2006. Which means she couldn't have been conceived until late August or early September of 2005. Aniston filed for divorce way before that. And please don't complain about Brad Pitt getting it on with another woman before the divorce was finalized, because there are photos of Aniston doing a lap dance on Vince Vaughn before the ink was dry.

She's in the Council on Foreign Relations. That alone makes her a bad person. :)

Papa Pitt doesn't look that happy to me. Perhaps the charade is too much for him.

Papa Pitt maybe just be tired....probably doesn't think it is too exciting be photographed so many times in such a short period of time. Mama Pitt looks delighted.
