The Hollywood couple who have six children, ages 2-9 together, have often said they are not interested in marrying for the sake of pleasing the media. However, people grow and Brad Pitt may be ready to change his mind and make his union with Angelina Jolie official. The catalyst could be the kids, who Pitt tells USA Weekend, "ask about marriage. It's meaning more and more to them."

Being a father who is serious about his brood, Pitt shares how hard he and Jolie work to create order for their either-person family. “Angie and I do everything we can to carve out some semblance of normalcy for them, to re-create the kinds of moments that were special for us. It's not unusual for the kids to be covered in paint. We have mud fights,” says the 47-year-old sexy actor, who is currently starring in the 1950s drama Tree of Life alongside Sean Penn.

While it's hard to imagine the sexiest couple in the world having a normal family life, maybe once they tie the knot, the media will leave them alone. Or maybe that’s just crazy talk.
