Did Brad and Angelina Marry On Christmas Day? by splashnews
From Vanity Fair
By ELVIS BARUKCIC/AFP/Getty Images.
The claim originates in a January 1 report from The Telegraph that trumpets: “Hollywood’s hottest couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, secretly tied the knot on Christmas Day in the Caribbean’s Turks and Caicos Islands.” What the article lacks in substantiation and sourcing, it makes up in descriptive detail about Donna Karan’s Parrot Cay estate where the rumored wedding allegedly happened.
“The Sanctuary”, a collection of three secluded villas, three open-air pavilions and four swimming pools, was built by Karan as a “cocoon of serenity” for her family following the death of her husband Stephan Weiss in 2001.The rest of the piece is culled from data about the pair’s surprise Friday-the-13th engagement announcement along with a December 27 New York Post report about how the couple spent the holiday with their family at Donna Karan’s aforementioned estate. The Post sourced “a tropical spy” who alleged that the Pitt-Jolie family brought along “parents Jane and William Pitt, [Brad’s] brother Doug Pitt and sister Julie Neal Pitt, their spouses and their children.” The source adds an unusually specific head count to his tropical tattle: “There are 22 people in all in their group. No nannies have been seen.”
The entire estate, styled in a hybrid Indonesian/African style, sleeps 22, but Parrot Cay is dotted with similarly luxurious private residences, perfect for their entourage (one local told a journalist that the couple had been spotted with two nannies per child in tow), and wedding guests.
While it has not been confirmed whether Brad and Angelina were married or were simply spending time with their extended family—a rare pastime of the rich and famous on major holidays—they likely spent Christmas in comfort. The Parrot Cay facility is said to include an infinity pool, 360-degree views, an open-air screen room, and a spa house, which Karan told Vanity Fair this August is “like a private yoga retreat.”

Did Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie become "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" on Christmas Day?
The unconfirmed rumor du jour has Hollywood's No. 1 celebrity couple spiriting their brood off to the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean to swap "I dos." The Dec. 25 ceremony allegedly took place at designer Donna Karan's Parrot Cay estates, suggests the Telegraph, and those in attendance were said to have included Brad's parents Jane and William Pitt, and his brother Doug and sister Julie.
A representative for Pitt's management team did not return a phone call and an e-mail seeking comment Wednesday. And reports about the nuptials all include plenty of caveats including "maybe," and "possibly" and "might-have-but-might-not-have-so-don't-blame-us-if-it's-not true."
But IIT (If It's True), it means Pitt and Jolie managed to pull off the wedding of the century while simultaneously pulling a fast one over on the media.
And while we can't help but feel as if we were robbed of seeing the couple's sartorial choices for taking that long-awaited trip down the aisle, we can't begrudge them wanting to express their love without the annoying thump-thump-thump of a paparazzi helicopter hovering overhead.
The couple became involved while working on the 2005 action film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," and have spent the last seven years building a life together and raising a family of six. For awhile, Pitt said the couple would not tie the knot until gays and lesbians also had the right to marry. But that resolve softened over the years, he said, as the couple's children begged and pleaded for a wedding.
The pair announced their engagement in April, and have remained coy about a wedding date.
Pitt has been married once before, to Jennifer Aniston. And Jolie has been married twice before, to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.

Brad Pitt was dressed in black from head to toe as he arrived at LAX yesterday. He was traveling solo after a tropical getaway to Turks and Caicos with his family. Brad and Angelina Jolie reportedly spent the holidays with their kids at Donna Karan's private home in Parrot Cay. They were also joined by Brad's parents, Jane and William Pitt, his brother, Doug Pitt, and sister, Julie Neal Pitt, as well as their families. As the Jolie-Pitt crew wrapped up 2012 together, rumors swirled that Brad and Angelina had tied the knot during their stay on the secluded island. Although Brad was not wearing a ring upon his return, reports of their pending nuptials have been in full swing since Brad revealed the wedding would be "soon" during his promotional tour for Killing Them Softly.
