Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, a high-profile Hollywood item since 2005, have got married in France, it's been confirmed today. The pair are believed to have tied the knot at their property Château Miraval in the south of France last weekend.

The couple announced their engagement in 2012 after Angelina was spotted wearing a diamond on her wedding finger. The couple have long insisted that they would not wed until the US legalised gay marriage across all states, but decided to break that pledge for their six children, who have been pestering the pair to become husband and wife for some time.
