They Dated How Long?
They dated how long? Are those wedding bells we hear for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt? Recent construction at the Hollywood "it" couple's estate in France has fueled new rumors that they will soon walk down the aisle -- several years and a small brood later. Only time will tell whether Brangelina will get hitched, but let’s look at other prominent couples who took their time to say "I do" before living happily ever after.Feb 25 : Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly building a huge reception hall behind the chapel on their French estate, igniting rumours that the pair are ready to marry.
They had made a pact that they would not get hitched until gay marriage was legalised in the United States.
But Pitt, 48, has since admitted that his children are begging him to buy their mother an engagement ring.
Now it seems the ‘Moneyball’ star may have given in, and the pair could be set to finally tie the knot later this year.
Aerial images of the construction site show a large white building being erected next to the quaint chapel, which is part of their Provence chateau, the Daily Mail reported.
According to reports, builders are working hard to have the venue ready for September.
The couple are also believed to have visited the site to check on progress over the weekend.
They were already in France to attend the Paris premiere of Jolie’s directorial debut ‘In the Land of Blood and Honey’ on Feb 16.
