When the Brangelina clan of six spies one of its parents in the newspaper, it’s a tough call for mum and dad.

"We’re still trying to negotiate how we explain to them what we do," said Brad Pitt of his children Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 3 and Knox and Vivienne, 1.

Normally, the kids are not allowed to read any item of print or gossip that features their parents. But slip-ups can’t be avoided. "It’s not strange to them that their parents will come on television. And it’s not strange for them to walk outside and for there to be a photographer. They just think if there is printed material [as he disdainfully refers to the gossip mags] hanging around, their parents might be on the cover."

Pitt told the Times Of London that the couple are excited over the cosmopolitan slice of life they can offer their kids. "Everywhere is interesting in its own way, each place has its own feel and something to offer: you pick up something, the kids are picking up something. They have this world view which we are very proud and happy that we are able to provide."
