Brad on Marriage to Jen: I Was Pretending It Was Something That It Wasn't (BLOG)

Brad Pitt is a satisfied man. Or at least that's what he tells Sunday's Parade Magazine in promotion of his latest film, "Moneyball." In a very candid interview, Brad shares why he wasn't happy in his marriage with Jennifer Aniston and how much he loves Angie. Plus, he addresses those pesky wedding rumors.

On why he's happy now:
"I put much more emphasis on being a satisfied man. I'm satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much. A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. … That's the trade-off. But I'll take it all."

On why he ended his marriage to Jennifer Aniston:
"It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn't living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to actress Jennifer Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn't."

On his decision to start a family with Angelina Jolie
"One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I'm so happy to have her."

On those pesky wedding rumors
"How many stories have you read that aren't true, stories about me and Angie being married or fighting or splitting up? And when we don't split up, there's a whole new round that we've made up and we're back together again! We'll get married when everyone can. We're not splitting up. And we don't have a seventh child yet."

On how much he enjoys fatherhood:
"I was surprised at how automatic it is, how much of it is instinctual. And now I have a great confidence and trust in those instincts. I mean, one sound at night and you're awake and up because they may need you. Or when they start to have a tantrum, you know to divert them from spinning out by helping them focus on something. It just

goes on and on. I tell them, 'You can make a mess, but you've got to clean it up.'
