Brad is adopting her kids!

member · Hermes

Good grief. Does this mean they are getting married too?

Ugh! This is all happening so fast. If it was just the two of them, I wouldn't care. However, they are bringing the kids into it. I dunno, I always want to wish people the best, but this just screams "hollywood couple that will fizzle out in a couple years" to me.

This is just sad. I'm sorry but adopting kids is a much bigger commitment than marraige. At least with marraige there is a way out. But now you've dragged these poor children into it. Very very sad. So she'll let him adopt her children but she won't marry him? Um yeah that's normal.

Karina · Chanel

im sorry, but i love them together!!! i hope they stay together

I really hope they know what they're getting themselves into here. I hope their relationship is far more serious than we've seen so far. It seems like they're just kinda dating and now he wants to adopt her kids. I really hope that they're serious about their relationship so they don't drag these poor kids into a huge mess if they break up.

That is exactly wat I was thinking.

IMO (and FWIW, because I really have no idea), I think they are in it for the long haul. I think the relationship is much deeper than any of us know, and I think that the stories of Brad wanting kids and Jen not (kind of a reversal, because first I heard she did and he didn't) are true. I think Jen decided she wanted the time to grow her film career and Brad was ready. AND I think something really happened between them (whether sex was involved or not) on the Mr. and Mrs. Smith set and that was the death knell to the Aniston-Pitt marriage.

I loved Jen & Brad but I am slowly coming around to the idea of Brad and Angelina, because they do seem more suited to each other. I think his adopting the kids is a sign of how committed he is to her and the entire (family) relationship. It's hard not to hate her sometimes though...could one women have more things to envy? Stunning looks, a rockin' figure, boatloads of money, a fabulous lifestyle...and now, Brad Pitt. Sheesh!

Yeah, good way of putting it! She has the domestic mother thing going on, yet she's unbelievably sexy and has her wild side, and she's jetting around the world doing humanitarian things. Damn.

I did really like Brad and Jen together (not that how I felt about that mattered), but I've always thought you can't "steal" someone. So whatever may or may not have happened between Brad and Angelina while he was still married (although I am not a fan of cheating), there had to have been something wrong with his marriage for him to fall for someone else.
