"Yes, it's confirmed. It
is a promise for the future, and their kids are very happy. There's no
date set at this time. Brad designed the ring," the representative,
Cynthia Pett-Dante, told CNN.
The longtime couple had
been insisting that they wouldn't marry unless the nation's laws allowed
all couples to marry.
Asked about this position
after the engagement announcement, Pitt's representative didn't have an
immediate comment.
Jewelry designer Robert
Procop of Beverly Hills, California, designed the diamond engagement
ring after a yearlong collaboration with Pitt, his representative said.
Pitt "wanted every aspect
of it to be perfect, so Robert was able to locate a diamond of the
finest quality and cut it to an exact custom size and shape to suit
Angelina's hand," the representative said. "Brad was always heavily
involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution. The
side diamonds are specially cut to encircle her finger."
The couple has six
children, including three biological children together. Pitt adopted two
of Jolie's children whom she had earlier adopted from Cambodia and
Ethiopia, and they together adopted a boy from Vietnam. Their biological
children include twins.
Jolie, the daughter of
actor Jon Voight and actress Marcheline Bertrand, won an Oscar for her
role as a mental patient in the 1999 film "Girl, Interrupted."
Pitt, who grew up in
Springfield, Missouri, was nominated for an Oscar and won a Golden Globe
for his role in the 1995 science fiction film "Twelve Monkeys."
Jolie was previously
married to actor Jonny Lee Miller and actor Billy Bob Thornton.
Pitt earlier had been
married to actress Jennifer Aniston.
The couple has used
their international celebrity to draw attention to a number of
humanitarian causes.
Despite ongoing reports
that Jolie and Pitt began their love affair during the making of 2005's
"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" -- while Pitt was still married to Aniston -- Jolie
insisted to the UK's Stylist magazine in 2010 that their relationship
began after the film.
"We became friends on
the film set," Jolie said, "but (the relationship) began after."
