Raising six kids under the age of 9 is a difficult task, and Angie herself admits that life is “absolute chaos at times.” Which makes her statements in a new interview all the more shocking: For the first time, she’s confirmed that she and Brad Pitt, 45, plan to adopt again — and have another biological child. “I can see further additions to the family — both adopted and our own,” Angelina, 34, tells the British magazine Stylist in its October issue.
Brad and Angie plan to add another two children, if not more, to their family, confirms an insider close to the couple. “They want one more biological baby and an adopted baby — for now,” the insider says. “But who knows what the future holds. Some people get addicted to drugs and alcohol, but Brad and Angie are addicted to children.”
Why the need to adopt again? Angelina’s work as a Goodwill Ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees exposes her to children mired in poverty and war worldwide, and she’s motivated by a noble impulse to help. In Syria, the U.N.’s Al-Achi tells Life & Style, “Angelina and Brad both took time to play around with the children they visited.” But their desperate desire to save needy kids comes at the expense of the six they already have. “Rescuing children out of third world countries is wonderful, but it’s very stressful each time another person who has his or her own needs and demands and who’s also competing for attention and love is brought into a family,” says psychotherapist Jenn Berman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy, Confident Kids.
And Angelina clearly realizes that she’s being stretched too thin. “We have to make sure we can devote enough time to each of them,” she tells Stylist, referring to Maddox, 8, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 3, and 15-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne. “There’s always one of ours demanding that I help color in something very important with crayons.”

After many weeks of Internet speculation, Dallas pilot Jake Pavelka will be the new “Bachelor.” ABC made the announcement on the Tuesday night live results show of Dancing With the Stars. The new season of “The Bachelor” begins filming in a few days and Pavelka says he’s ready to meet the 25 eligible women who will be vying for his affection.
Eliminated by Jillian Harris on “The Bachelorette” last season, the 31-year-old Pavelka tells PEOPLE he’s encouraged that he will find love on the show.
“I’ve dated some really amazing girls, but I’ve never been successful at finding that one girl,” he says, “and I saw how the whole thing comes together, the process with Jillian. I saw how the process works and I believe in it. That’s a unique way to meet somebody.”
Harris, who accepted a proposal by her final guy, Chicago computer software consultant Ed Swiderski, tells PEOPLE she thinks Pavelka will be a fabulous “Bachelor.”
“Jake has a huge heart and he’s very sensitive,” Harris says. “He isn’t afraid to show his emotions. The world will see how far he is willing to go to find the right person.”
According to Pavelka’s parents, Jim and Sallie, the woman who lands their son’s heart will have to have a taste for adventure. “He likes a girl that is spontaneous,” mom Sallie says. “The way he put it to me, he would like a girl that can work in the yard and then put on a pretty dress and go out to dinner.” READ MORE
