Life Will Be A Bowl Of Cherries For The Pitts
The sexiest man alive is about to become the sexiest husband alive.
Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow have decided to tie the knot, according to People magazine columnist Mitchell Fink. “(Paltrow) told me she would tell me when this finally happened,” he said. “She just kept to her word.”
Fink said Paltrow’s publicist and a close family member called with the news. He said Paltrow listened in from Argentina, where Pitt is filming “Seven Years in Tibet.”
“The family is ecstatic about it,” Fink said, adding that no wedding date has been set.
Paltrow starred in “Emma” this year, while Pitt - People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” last year - won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar for “Twelve Monkeys.”
