Brad Pitt and his partner of almost seven years (has it been that long!?), Angelina Jolie, enjoyed a night out together in Palm Springs at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Saturday night. Brad accepted the Desert Palm Achievement Award for his roles in “Moneyball” and “Tree of Life.”

The actor told ET that the reason he was walking with a cane, was because he injured himself carrying one of his twins, Vivienne, 3. Apparently he twisted his knee and suffered some ACL damage while wiping out on a ski slope. “It was a little slip over New Year’s Eve. A little bit of damage, but everything’s fine,” explained Pitt. “I was carrying my daughter down a slope and I slipped. It was me or her. She’s fine.”

“It is cool,” said Jolie. “When [Maddox] was younger, I took a fall and cracked my elbow because I wanted to make sure he didn’t have the fall … Every parent has injured themselves. Every parent will stand in the line of fire for their kids. So it’s a normal thing.”

When asked if Pitt was slacking on housework thanks to the injury, Jolie defended her long-time partner.

“He’s not that kind of guy,” she told E! Online. “He does everything still … I’m proud of him every single day,”

Jolie admitted they’d be cutting the night short unfortunately, the girls had a very important day to look forward to. “We’re rushing back to the kids tonight,” said Angie. “We have a birthday party in the morning with our daughters.”

The PSIFF awards were hosted by former Entertainment Tonight host, Mary Hart on Saturday January 7 in Palm Springs, California.
