But what we didn’t know, until now, is that they were actually married before that.
Yes, the secret French wedding was in fact their second secret wedding as the couple had already tied the knot in the US.
“Before the wedding in France with the kids, Brad and I were already married in California,” Angelina told Italian magazine, Io Donna.
“As Americans, we couldn't marry legally in France.”
And their first wedding was as low key as the second, with Angelina admitting: “One day I said to Brad, 'Let's meet up at 4:30 pm?'”

“I called a justice of the peace and we signed the documents.”
Although it was reported the pair had obtained a marriage license before a judge in California prior to their nuptials last August, Angelina, 39, had never spoken of this before.
The wedding in France, at the Chateau Miraval, was attended by their children, Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, eight, and twins Vivienne and Knox, six.
Prior to the ceremony, Angelina and Brad spoke of how much their children wanted them to get married.
