Angelina Jolie - Brad Pitt Love New Orleans 12/9/08
Angelina Jolie and her partner Bad Pitt want to settle down in New
Orleans, Louisiana - because the city's racial diversity echoes their
own family's mixed heritages.
The Hollywood couple have six children: adopted Maddox, seven, from
Cambodia, Pax, four, from Vietnam, and Zahara, three, from Ethiopia.
They're also parents to biological offspring Shiloh, two, and baby twins
Knox and Vivienne. And while the children love the southern U.S. city
for its culinary delights, Jolie insists they're actually learning about
various cultures by living in New Orleans.
She says, "Our kids love it here. They love the school and their friends
here. Most of all they love Verti Marte (a diner in the French Quarter).
Their favorite thing to do is go down there. But for all of us, we just
come here and we feel at home. "This is the place we feel combines all
the culture we love.
It's a melding of my French heritage with Brad's Americana. The kids
just love the food at the moment but they're absorbing years of
tradition through that."
Fight Club star Pitt has been working with his charity Make It Right to
rebuild the city after 2005's Hurricane Katrina left thousands of people
homeless when flood water washed away massive swathes of residential
areas.
