They are certainly good at keeping secrets!

Angelina Jolie just admitted to Italian magazine Io Donna that she and Brad Pitt were actually married well before their French wedding last August.

"Before the wedding in France with the kids, Brad and I were already married in California," Jolie revealed to the mag. "As Americans, we couldn't marry legally in France."

The Oscar winner told the mag that the marriage was a no-frills affair, "One day I said to Brad, 'Let's meet up at 4:30 pm?'" The Unbroken director added, "I called a justice of the peace and we signed the documents."

Although unbeknownst to us the duo was already married, the couple, who has been together 10 years, had a lavish wedding in front of family and friends at the Chateau Miraval over the summer. Sources say that the A-list pair wanted a wedding for their brood of six -- Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, 8, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 6.
