Los Angeles, Jan 27 (IANS): Actor Brad Pitt, who has been in love with partner Angelina Jolie for the past six years, says he is now looking forward to tie the knot.

The couple have previously insisted they wouldn't tie the knot until gay marriage gets legal throughout the US, but the 48-year-old doesn't think they can "hold out" until then, particularly as their six children are keen to see them wed, reports showbizspy.com.

"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," showbizspy.com quoted Pitt as saying.

"We'd actually like to, and it seems to mean more and more to our kids. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment," he added.

Jolie, 35 and Pitt are biological parents to Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. They also have adopted children Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, and Zahara, six.

Jolie is now reportedly expecting another child.
