Brad and Angelina OK Magazine

The last time we saw Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie in such an idyllic family scene they were simply playing at parenthood, dressed in retro gear and surrounded by a trio of blonde-haired child models to promote their film Mr and Mrs Smith. But it’s now nearly one year later, and this time round the images of the couple, set against the backdrop of the sweeping sands of the Namib desert, aren’t just a fantasy. ¶ Since they became a real-life couple, the pair, along with their adopted children Maddox and Zahara, have been photographed globetrotting everywhere from the Dominican Republic to Japan, from Haiti to Paris. ¶ But these exclusive posted photos, quiet, simple and unassuming, capture the Hollywood stars and their growing brood in their most intimate family moments as they enjoy their real-life African adventure — and await the birth of their baby.

UPDATE :: Photos added to the gallery compliments of dedicated JJ reader Stefanie! Even more of the article coming, so stay tuned!!

Nomadic stars Angelina and Brad are spending the last few weeks
before the baby arrives deep in Namibia, where picnics in the desert
are the order of the day. Accompanied by their nanny, Maddox
and toddler Zahara relish their adoptive parents’ undivided
attention as they play in the sand.
