Now that they’re feeling that the media is no longer as hungry for details of their personal life as it was some years ago, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are finally opening up. In a new interview with The Telegraph, Jolie says Brad is “a real man’s man.”

The interview comes shortly after one with Brad also came out, in which he admitted that he and his partner of several years were considering getting married, for the children, as he put it.

Speaking with The Telegraph about her upcoming projects, Jolie doesn’t pass the chance to gush about the father of her children – and how much of a gentleman he is.

‘I am very lucky with Brad. He is a real gentleman, but he is also a real man’s man,” Angelina says in what must probably be the first statement of the kind.

“He’s got the wonderful balance of being an extraordinary, great, loving father, a very, very intelligent man and physically he’s a real man… [blushes] in all things that it means,” she adds.

While the media has long labeled Jolie the most powerful woman in showbiz, and even though she knows that she’s strong and independent, she enjoys feeling Brad be protective of her.

“I love being a woman. I love that I can have children. I love feeling soft, I love being with Brad, I love all the sensitivity and natural emotion,” she says.

Unlike Brad, Jolie carefully avoids speaking about marriage plans, saying only that both she and Brad are very dedicated parents and that their relationship has changed very little since they first met – and fell in love.

Their family life may appear to be chaotic, but there’s actually a lot of order in said chaos, she explains: whenever she works, she makes sure she’s around at least for the weekend and one main meal of the day.

“When Brad and I decided to have a large family we decided we’d only do it if we could be really hands-on and take the kids with us, seeing them every day,” she says.

So far, they’ve managed to stick to this but, then again, their age and star power allows them to choose only projects that they love – and make the time spent away from the family worth it.
