Looks like arguably entertainment’s most powerful couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have succeeded in getting the world to look away from their special day after all. An unnamed spokesperson for the couple, both frontline actors who have made the bold transition into producing their own films, told the Associated Press on Thursday that the couple are now legally married.

 The source said Pitt and Jolie, who met on the set of the all-action film, Mr and Mrs Smith in 2005, got married last Saturday in France in a very private ceremony that evaded the expectant public.

Now popularly referred to as Brangelina, the couple has three biological children together named Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne as well as three adopted children named Maddox, Pax and Zahara.

They became engaged on April 13, 2012 and have been falsely reported to be separating a number of times in the past. Pitt was once engaged to fellow actress, Gwyneth Paltrow, another co-star in a 1995 film titled Seven but nothing came out of the relationship regarding marriage. In 1998, he started dating actress, Jennifer Aniston with whom he got married in 2000 but separated in early 2005 before finalising their divorce proceedings October of the same year. On her part, Angelina Jolie has been married twice. First to British actor, Jonny Lee Miller and then to Billy Bob Thornton, in 2000 before finalising their divorce on May 27, 2003....
