Brad Pitt has revealed that he and his long term celebrity partner Angelina Jolie are feeling the pressure from their children to tie the knot.

The couple had always vowed not to wed until gay marriage was legal throughout the US but Pitt said it was proving difficult to "hold out".

"We'd actually like to and it seems to mean more and more to our kids," the Daily Express quoted the actor as saying.

"We made this declaration some time ago that we weren't going to do it till everyone can but I don't think we'll be able to hold out.

"It means so much to my kids and they ask a lot. It means something to me too to make that commitment," he added. (ANI)
