Did Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie tie the knot on Christmas Day?

CEBU, Philippines - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are rumored to have married in a Christmas Day ceremony in the Caribbean, according to reports.

The Telegraph claims the Hollywood power couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on the Turks and Caicos Islands.

News of their reported nuptials comes eight months after Brad, 49, and Angelina, 37, announced their engagement in April 2012 after seven years together.

The pair have been spending the Christmas and New Year holiday at the private Parrot Cay estate of fashion designer Donna Karan.

Joining the duo are their six children, Brad’s parents Jane and William Pitt, his brother Doug and sister Julie.

One local told journalist Jeffrey Slonim that the couple had allegedly hired 12 nannies to take care of their large brood for the vacation.

Speculation they had finally wed comes after a magazine report in early December claimed the pair had picked up their wedding rings from celebrity jeweller Neil Lane.

In November, Brad told reporters on the red carpet of the New York premiere of his film Killing Me Softly the nuptials would be ‘soon’.

He said: ‘The time is nigh. It’s soon. I got a good feeling about it.I am getting more pressure from my kids, and it is something I want to do within their lifetime, but I also feel like the time has come.’

The couple famously met on the set of Mr And Mrs Smith in 2004, when Brad was still married to first wife Jennifer Aniston.

However, by January 2005, Hollywood’s golden couple had separated with Brad and Angelina’s romance finally being confirmed in April that year when they were photographed on a beach in Kenya with their now jointly-adopted son Maddox.

Three months later, they went on to adopt Ethiopian daughter Zahara together.

In January 2006, Angelina confirmed she was pregnant with their first biological child together, a daughter Shiloh.

They also adopted son Pax from Vietnam in March 2007, and Angelina gave birth to twins Knox and Vivienne in France in July 2008.

If the couple have indeed wed, it will be the second marriage for Brad and third for Angelina.
