Knocked Up Celebs

Most parents would do just about anything for their kids, and now you can count Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie among them.   The longtime, famously unmarried couple finally succumbed to pressure they were getting from their children and have… well, they got engaged, at least.

Pitt’s manager, Cynthia Pett-Dante told People:

“Yes, it’s confirmed. It is a promise for the future and their kids are very happy. There’s no date set at this time.”

Although there’s a wedding rumor about Brangelina every other week, the buzz began in earnest earlier this week when Jolie was spotted at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art with a large diamond on her left ring finger.   (Catch a glimpse of it here.)

The ring’s designer, Robert Procop, revealed that the ring was a year in the making.  His rep explained the process in this statement:

“I can confirm that, yes, Robert Procop did indeed design an engagement ring for Angelina Jolie, designed in collaboration with Brad Pitt.  Brad had a specific vision for this ring…He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect, so Robert was able to locate a diamond of the finest quality and cut it to an exact custom size and shape to suit Angelina’s hand.  Brad was always heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution.  The side diamonds are specially cut to encircle her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality.”

Procop has a decade of experience designing jewelry for Jolie, and with her too:  they collaborated on the Style of Jolie collection.  As with most of her projects, this one generates funds to support the Education Partnership For Children Of Conflict, one of Jolie’s charities.

The couple had been adamant that they would not marry until marriage equality is achieved in the United States.  In September 2011, Jolie told Vanity Fair that there was “no secret wedding” in the works.  However, in January, Pitt admitted that their kids were beginning to put the pressure on.

Pitt and Jolie have been together for seven years and have six children: Maddox (10), Pax (8), Zahara (7), Shiloh (5), and twins Knox and Vivienne (3).
