They’re getting married, said the New York Post. After seven years and countless entreaties by their six children, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie confirmed last week that they were engaged. Pitt, 48, proposed to Jolie, 36, with a massive $500,000 ring—featuring emerald-cut diamonds—that he helped design with jeweler Robert Procop. Though they’ve yet to set a date, sources say the couple are planning to marry in a pre-Roman chapel on the grounds of their mansion at Correns, in the south of France. “They have been quietly preparing for one of the most glamorous show-business weddings of all time for months,” says a close friend.
