Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie would get married – if the kids asked them to

Angelina opens up about her hectic family life

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been together for five years

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have never made marriage a priority. But that could change with a request from a few special people.

'I think it would be hard to say no to the kids,' Angelina, 35, said on Monday morning on ABC's Good Morning America.

But so far, it hasn't been an issue, as none of their six children seem to think it's a priority, either.

'They're not asking,' Angelina says. 'They are very aware that nothing's missing.'

Angelina, who stars in the new spy thriller Salt, touches on other aspects of her family in the interview, including whether it will get any larger. She and Brad, 46, are torn about the issue - drawn to the idea of it, yet dreading how it would stretch them even thinner.

'We always have this thing, first thing in the morning, where we're really, really tired, and we look at each other and we wonder, are we ever going to get sleep?' the actress says.

'And yet we still love the idea of having more children.'

Offering a glimpse into their daily routine, Angelina says she's better at disciplining the girls, while Brad is better at disciplining the boys.

'I think girls and Daddy can just bat their eyes,' she says. 'And the boys, funnily enough, can kind of get me.'

She also describes the pandemonium of the Jolie-Pitts at breakfast time.

'We're like bartenders. We're like waiters,' she says of herself and her actor-partner.

'But we still, I think, are able to do it because we manage to have a great laugh. We do it together, and we find fun in it, and because of that, it doesn't matter if you don't get sleep.

'It's an honor to take care of them.'

On the subject of love, Angelina is asked if Brad is the love of her life - and if there is indeed one true love for anyone.

'He makes me feel like there is,' she replies.

Asked if they'll grow old together, she doesn't hesitate.

'Of course,' she says. 'We wouldn't have six children if we weren't absolutely sure of that.'
