Is Hollywood’s most gorgeous super duo finally getting hitched?
Speculation is at fever pitch that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, engaged since April, are getting married in the coming days at Chateau Miraval, their ultra-private estate in the south of France.
Preparations for a party are underway, a source told British newspaper The Sun, and locals believe the planning extends beyond a reported 50th wedding anniversary bash for Pitt’s parents, Jane and Bill.
“Brad flew in to oversee preparations, but they’re all here now,” an unidentified source told The Sun. “They say it’s for Jane and Bill, but some think this could be it.”
While The Sun predicts the nuptials will take place Saturday, local French newspaper Var-Matin is betting on Aug. 18 because the mayor postponed a local fair set for that weekend.
Celebrity photo agency x17Online rushed a paparazzo to the property Friday and reported no signs of party prep at the $35 million chateau close to Brignoles, a tiny village not far from Aix-en-Provence.
The newly renovated 14th-century estate has its own chapel, a feature that’s fueled rumors the pair would wed in France after Pitt popped the question with a giant diamond ring he personally designed with jeweler Robert Procop.
Reps for the couple did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday.
Pitt, 48, and Jolie, 37, met while filming “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” in 2005, when Pitt was still married to actress Jennifer Aniston.
They now travel the world on film and humanitarian projects with their brood of six kids — Maddox, 11, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 6, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 4 — in tow.

The A-listers rarely speak about their relationship, but Jolie recently told CBS’s “60 Minutes” that she was such a bad girl before she met Pitt, she’s lucky to be alive.
“I went through heavy, darker times and I survived them. … I did the worst, and for many reasons, I shouldn’t be here,” she told the news show, declining to give specifics.
“I’m still a bad girl,” she said, “I still have that side of me … It’s just in its place now … It belongs to Brad.”
Though Pitt and Jolie originally said marriage was off the table until gay couples across the country shared the same right to walk down the aisle, Pitt told The Hollywood Reporter in January that their kids badly wanted a wedding.
“It’s a promise for the future, and their kids are very happy,” Pitt’s manager said when she confirmed the engagement.
In an earlier interview with Australia’s “60 Minutes,” Pitt said the family of eight might grow yet again.
“I don’t know that we’re finished. I don’t know yet,” he said.
With a big smile, the shaggy blond actor said his kids with Jolie were the driving force behind all his decisions.
“If I’m choosing a film now, I want it to be maybe less immature than things I’ve done in the past. I’m very conscious they’re going to see it when they’re adults. I want it to mean something to them. I want them to think dad’s all right. It changes everything. Everything. And it’s so damn interesting.”
