Brad and Angelina Live in a Different Realm

When I talk about Brangelina being in a different realm, I don't mean the giga-star level that the world sees them at. I'm talking about the stage in life that parents of a bunch of kids get into. This, of course, is totally outside of the demographics of their Hollywood peers, their fans, and really most of America.

I have four children of my own and if Brad and Angelina are anything like me, they barely have time to catch the news headlines off of a website. You sort of go into this quarantine phase in your life that I suspect you don't get out of until your last child is in at least middle school. Life is now full of interruptions. You finally get a moment to kiss and hold your lover only to hear your three year old saying, "I have to go poopsies." Candle lit late night baths? Try hoping she's still awake after you give in to "Daddy can you lie down with me? I'm too scared to go asleep by myself." Not only do you not have time for too many things outside of your family, you also don't care as much for many of the things you once thought were important ... like the NBA finals ... or the latest movies. Those cute little faces that are always looking up to you just melt that other stuff away.

Who knows what the Jolie-Pitt day to day life really looks like? The tabloids certainly don't know. It's funny how they haven't learned how to handle Brangelina properly. The normal old school bold face tabloid fiction doesn't stick to Brad and Angelina too well because they live in a different realm that the media is not use to. It's harder for a rumor to gain legs when the subjects of the discussion have SIX kids. Do you really think Brad is going to get fed up with the home front and go back to Jennifer leaving Angelina with SIX kids? She would kill Brad before he got half way down the street.

I guarantee life is not all blissful in Brangelina world. Raising a bunch of kids can be real stressful sometimes but there is also a real joy in doing it. It's a good pain. This may also explain why Brad and Angelina seem so happy together at public events. It's probably because they're getting a little time away from the little ones.

The rags will just have to wait for Max, Pax, Z, Shiloh, and the twins to grow up before they have fresh material to feast upon. I see this as another Prince Charles and Lady Di scenario. Their story is done. Now, we watch William and Harry get pounded as we are waiting in the check out line at the grocery store. Let's hope the Jolie-Pitt children will be as strong as their parents in weathering the gossip storms when it's their turn.
