The reason? It’s one more kid for him to boss around!
“Brad calls him ‘Maddox in charge,’” a friend of the couple tells OK!. “He loves assigning his siblings chores!”
And it seems that Maddox is also following in his architecture-minded father’s footsteps.
“Brad showed the kids pictures of the mansion they’re leasing on Long Island,” adds the pal, “and Mad decided to select the bedrooms for each of his brothers and sisters.”

Cover Story: Angie’s New Baby Diet
February 4th, 2009 / Author: OK! Staff
By their own admission, six children just aren’t enough for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Indeed, when it comes to the Brangelina bunch – Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 2, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 7 months, it’s never a matter of if, but when the family will grow.
In fact, OK! has learned exclusively that Angie, 33, is hoping to be pregnant with baby number seven by summertime.
“Angie is doing everything she can to get pregnant,” a source close to the actress tells OK!. “She’s taking prenatal vitamins, has dramatically cut down on her junk-food consumption, and is seeing her obstetrician regularly whenever she’s back in L.A.”
As OK! previously reported, doctors advised Angie not to conceive for at least a year following the July 12 birth of Knox and Vivienne. But the anxious actress is wasting no time in making sure the pregnancy happens right on schedule – or even before.
“Her goal is to be pregnant by the time Knox and Viv have their first birthday,” reveals the source. “Angie is one of those people who always manages to achieve whatever she wants."
And in this case, that’s baby #7!

There has been recent speculation that the culturally-intrigued couple will likely adopt another child very soon, maybe even on an upcoming Christmas trip.

Although it’s still unsure if the Jolie-Pitts will have another addition to their international young bunch any time soon, Momma Pitt trusts how Brad and Angelina will choose the next new tyke to add to their rapid-growing famous family.

Recently, OK! reported on Angelina Jolie’s struggle to fight back tears as she discussed her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, during a London press conference for her film, Changeling.

“She has to keep it together for the sake of her kids, but she is only human and falls apart from time to time,” a longtime friend of Angelina tells OK!. “She is still a mess over Marcheline’s departure, believing no one understands her the way her mother did. They had a very strong bond that she feels she will never have with another person.”
Throughout her grief, Angelina has been able to rely on her family. Her partner Brad Pitt has especially helped her get through the dark times. “Brad has been her rock, and he will always be there for her,” the friend tells OK!. “Without his love, she would never have been able to cope.”
Angelina also has drawn strength from her children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and 4-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne, whose middle name honors Marcheline.
“Mad tries to cheer her up and makes her laugh and smile,” reveals her friend. “She feels like she is the most privileged woman to have such an incredible family and has said her mother is a guardian angel over her household.”

Brad: Most Proud of Parenthood
November 19th, 2008
Despite late nights, dog duty and the constant attention of the paparazzi, Brad Pitt says he and partner Angelina Jolie will probably do it all over again with more children.
"We really enjoy it," he told Oprah Winfrey today of raising Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. " It’s the greatest endeavor we’ve ever taken on, and it’s the most interseting and most fulfilling, most rewarding thing I’ve ever experienced and why should it stop?"

One thing any new addition to the Jolie-Pitt family will have to get used to is the snapping of cameras as the high-profile family is followed by photographers almost constantly, something Brad says they try to cope with as best they can.
"We try to explain to them, ‘Yeah, people, they’re a little funny. They kind of like taking pictures and they’re a little weird but it’s alright.’ And like our little one said, "Actually, Daddy, it’s not alright."
No matter how the cameras might get to the kids, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button actor says he and Angie do what they can to do proivde a normal life.
"They have their friends and we try to keep as much normalcy as we can and do things together as a family," he reveals. "We keep everyone together and that’s our rule."
Brad also let fans in on some funny moments with the kids, sharing a story of when Zahara – known as Z.Z. – had something for her dad to investigate.
"Yesterday Z.Z. goes, ‘Daddy, smell,’ " he describes, holding out his hand. "And I go, ‘What, honey?’ She goes, ‘Smell.’ I go, ‘What is that?’ and she goes, ‘Dog poop. ‘ "
As for what Brad would like to do if he could be unrecognizable for a day, his wish is simple:"I would like to tear down my fences. I’d like to tear down my gate, I’d like to be able to see my neighbors. I’dlike my kids to be able to run in each other’s yards and their yards and our yards and wave at everybody."
Angelina: Children the Center of My Life
November 12th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff
It’s no secret that Angelina Jolie cherishes the role of mother she plays in everyday life to children Pax, Zahara, Maddox, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox, alongside partner Brad Pitt, but the role she played onscreen Changeling may have directly inspired her reality.
"I got pregnant right in the middle of it and I think partially because of it," she tells the L.A. Times of the challenging role of playing a mother who loses her child. "I was so emotional about children that I think something in me kicked into gear."

For Angie, who says, "the center of my life is my kids," life as a mom is complicated by the fact that she and Brad are both busy working actors, which results in some tough times and big yawns.
"I woke up at 3 in the morning with four kids with jet lag and two babies," she said of the day she appeared at a recent Hollywood Film Festival Awards gala where Clint Eastwood, who directed Changeling, was being honored. "I put myself together for a few hours and go out. And then I go home. This is my job."
Job or no job, Angelina says she doesn’t hate having to come to L.A., but would rather be out on the road with her traveling family.
"I don’t dislike it here," she admits of Hollywood. "I just really do love to travel. I love other cultures. And I love raising my kids in the world. I’m so fortunate that I get to do that."
Brangelina Behind Closed Doors
November 11th, 2008
Asked at a Nov. 5 taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show about whether Angelina Jolie was thelove of his life, Brad Pitt responded, “Dare I say.” Acknowledging his joy, the TV queen replied, “Dare I see!”

Indeed, thanks to Angelina, Brad has every reason to be smiling. Even with six kids running around the house, the mother of Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne, always makes it a point to take care of her man – though she admits that finding alone time in the bedroom isn’t always easy.
The kids do knock before entering,” Angelina recently told W magazine. “We’ve at least got that part down. Because Mommy and Daddy do need some space.”
One place the busy couple manages to get their space is in the tub, an activity more about making conversation than making love.
"I don’t know how he does it, but I talk a lot in the bath,” she revealed to Marie Claire in July. “It’s easier to talk when you’re naked.”
And easier to do quite a few other things, as well. During his Oprah Winfrey interview, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star admitted that he and Angelina will likely have more children. Parenthood “is the greatest thing I’ve ever taken on,” he declared. “Why stop now?”
But even pregnancy can’t get in the way of the couple’s adult-only fun. “It’s great for the sex life,” Angelina has said. “It just makes you a lot more creative.”
