Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are reportedly considering legally changing their surnames.

The Hollywood superstars are engaged and raise six children together. Their kids are known as Jolie-Pitt and it's been claimed that when they tie the knot later this year, Brad and Angelina will adopt that moniker too.

"The current plan seems to be that they want to legally change their names to Jolie-Pitt and get married in the US, then fly back to France for a wedding party with only their children, closest friends and family," an insider told the British edition of Grazia magazine.

Brad and Angelina have been cagey about their wedding date. It was thought that they would tie the knot at their French chateau, with claims a party to celebrate their union will take place in the near future.

"Wedding preparations seem to be well under way," a source said. "Chairs and tables have been arriving at the property over the last week. The roof has also been rebuilt everything now seems ready."
