Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie's Marriage Talk 'Blown Out of Proportion'

Posted byBy Stan Castle | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Will Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ever get married? If it was up to the media, the couple would be locking lips in a Las Vegas chapel tonight with all six of their kids watching.

Pitt’s latest comments about proposing to his longtime partner Jolie, were taken way out of context by the press.

“I think anything said tends to be blown out of proportion,” Jolie said on the red carpet at the SAG Awards in L.A., when asked about what her feelings were regarding the latest rumors of wedding ring talk.

Pitt intervened saying, “Yeah, that was my fault.”

Pitt did an interview with CBS News saying that he and Jolie are “getting a lot of pressure from the kids. It means something to them,” he continued. “We will [get married] someday, we will. It’s a great idea. ‘Get mommy a ring.’ ‘OK, I will, I will.'”

After the story was released, the media assumed that the love-birds may be walking down the aisle in the near future.

Last week, Pitt fueled everyones’ speculations again after he reiterated the pressure from his kids to The Hollywood Reporter.

“It seems to mean more and more to our kids,” he said. “We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to [get married] till everyone can. But I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out … it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment.”

Pitt and Jolie both have been married in the past.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
