Following a week of very intense speculation as to whether they’re still together or not, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie made a public appearance together at the Directors Guild of America over the weekend. As speculation continues to make the rounds that the two are only keeping up pretenses for the sake of the children, a source tells People magazine that they are still very much together and an extremely “loving couple” while at it.

Sources that were in the audience at the DGAs, where very few media representatives had access and where Brad and Angelina refused to pose together for pictures, tell the magazine that there is absolutely no doubt that they’re still together. Not only that, but they continue to be very in love with each other, which became crystal clear the moment they walked in the room from their behavior towards each other.

“They snuck in through the kitchen, held hands through the evening and laughed heartily at each other’s jokes. To many witnesses of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s recent surprise date at the Directors Guild of America Awards, the pair’s affection was the real deal. ‘They were a loving couple,’ says a guest who spent time with them throughout the Jan. 30 event. ‘It was nothing you could fake. You could feel it, and you could see in their body language that it’s just a beautiful relationship. They were very sweet and tender with each other’,” People writes, citing an unnamed tipster.

“Pitt, who was there to present a nomination medallion to his Inglourious Basterds director Quentin Tarantino, was attentive to Jolie, with whom he has six children. ‘Angie just decided to go to DGAs to support Brad. They had a great time,’ says a source close to the couple. […] ‘You read all those things about them, but it is hard to believe any of it based off of how they were together,’ says a second guest. ‘Those two were very much together’,” the magazine further reports.

This, of course, comes to contradict all previous rumors, which had it that either the two had already moved on with their separate lives or were just waiting for the right moment to do so, when they would also announce their separation. Just yesterday, for instance, one US tab ran a story that said Brad Pitt was only with Angelina for the sake of the children and had already renewed contact with his ex wife, Jennifer Aniston.
