Putting rumors of an imminent split behind them, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, accompanied by their children, have been spotted in Venice, Italy, where they’re to remain for the next three months. As per ongoing reports cited by USA Today, the couple has decided to relocate to Venice while Jolie pursues work interests there, this being the best way to be together while also focusing on their career.

As Jolie herself put it in several older interviews, though they usually put their family first, neither she nor Pitt is about to forget about acting. The method they came up with instead to keep everybody happy is to never work at the same time: that is to say, while one is on the movie set, the other must be out of a contract and at home with the family. This time around, it’s Brad’s turn to mind the children, it would seem.

“Happy family photo alert: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been spotted in Venice, Italy. The stars were seen getting a snack and boarding a boat with Maddox (back), Pax (left), Shiloh (with the ear hat) and Zahara yesterday. They are in Italy because Jolie is expected to begin shooting upcoming thriller The Tourist, with Johnny Depp,” USA Today writes. No official announcement as to the length of their stay there has been made, but reports say shooting should not take longer than 3 months.

“After arriving in a private plane at Marco Polo Airport on Monday afternoon, the family took two speedboats – one for their huge amount of luggage and another for the children – to their new home, reports the Daily Mail. Jolie, 34, isn’t expected to begin filming until March 15 which gives the family plenty of time to get to know the streets and canals of Venice, notes the Mail,” the aforementioned media outlet informs.

Though plagued by rumors that their relationship is breathing its last breaths, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still going strong, which in itself should be more than enough to put gossip to rest. In a recent interview with CNN, the actress, speaking from Haiti, said that while she and Brad were constantly talking about adopting another baby, the next adoption would not be from Haiti.
