When Angelina Jolie describes Brad Pitt as her partner she means it literally.
The 32-year-old Oscar winner and world advocate tells the U.K.'s Daily Mirror that Pitt, 43, devotes much of his time to her and their children's health and happiness.
"I am a very lucky woman," says the A Mighty Heart star. "I have a beautiful family and Brad is a supportive friend and a great father. And he is very romantic. We talk very deeply about how we feel. We're very similar. We support each other and back each other as parents. There is no divide."
The actress reveals that it was Pitt who helped her through the grief of losing her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, 56, to cancer in January.
"When my mother died Brad held her hand and helped me through all the stages of dealing with someone dying," she says. "After the funeral Brad brought everyone back to the house and asked questions about our mom. He focused on all the love and all the joy we were fortunate enough to have had. He is an extraordinary man."
While some have criticized the Jolie-Pitt's for their family's rapid expansion (Pitt's formal motion to adopt the couple's fourth child, son, Pax Thien, 3, was finalized on May 31), Jolie insists that her and her partner give each child individulaized attention, and that they have no plans to add to their brood -- unless their children are comfortable with it.
"In our home it is about making sure everyone has individual time, and right now all four of them have daily, very special individual time and we never want to have so many children we can't do that," she insists. "When they get older and if it starts to feel like we can fit more in, that's how we're going to gauge how many we have."
