Angelina Jolie has bought Brad Pitt a £250,000 "family wedding" ring.

The 'Tourist' star - who raises six children, Maddox, eight, Pax, seven, Zahara, five, Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - splashed out on the "exquisite" personalised gift, for her lover's 47th birthday tomorrow (18.12.10).

An insider said: "The band has each of their children's names on it and Angie's on the top.

"This is a family wedding band to symbolise Brad isn't Just Married to Angelina but to the family as a whole. It was described as absolutely exquisite."

As well as fitting seven names onto The Ring, Angelina also requested it be engraved with "mystical" references that are personal to the couple.

The source told the Daily Star newspaper: "She told me there are mystical references to his 47th birthday that have also been engraved on the band and the family all have their own interpretations of what the band means to them and of what 47 means to them."
