BRAD PITT - JOLIE AND PITT DENY WEDDING RUMOURS

Hollywood couple BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE denied rumours they plan to marry following the birth of their daughter SHILOH NOUVEL last month (27MAY06), but insisted they are committed to bringing up their three children together. The MR + MRS SMITH co-stars started dating last year (05) after Pitt split from his wife JENNIFER ANISTON. Pitt formally adopted Jolie's adopted children MADDOX and ZAHARA MARLEY in December (05). At a press conference earlier today (07JUN06) in Swakopmund, Namibia - where the actress gave birth to Shiloh Nouvel - Jolie said, "There is nothing in the air. The focus is the kids, and we are obviously extremely committed to the children and as parents together. "So that kind of says it for us, and to have a ceremony on top of it is nothing." Turning to Namibian nationals at the conference, Pitt said, "We have been able to have a very special, peaceful time for our family here, exploring your country and more importantly helping with the delivery of our daughter Shiloh. So for that we are eternally grateful." The couple said they plan to leave Namibia - where they have spent the past two months - in the coming days.
