Husband No. 4 for Angelina

Less than two years after filing for divorce from Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie is walking down the aisle again

Angelina Jolie’s been keeping a low profile lately. But she hasn’t been hiding out alone. Besides spending quality time with her six kids, the actress has been secretly dating — and she’s gotten intensely serious about one man in particu- lar. “There’s a millionaire British philanthropist who she’s been quietly seeing for over a year now,” reveals a close friend. “Gradually, their romance blossomed into real love.”

Now she’s ready to take the next step with her mystery man: down the aisle! Life & Style has exclusively learned that Angelina is planning to marry husband No. 4 this summer in London. She’s taking all the necessary steps, pushing to finalize her divorce from Brad Pitt and moving their six kids to the U.K. a few months before the cer- emony. “She’s decided to marry her wealthy beau as soon as the ink is dry on the divorce from Brad,” says the friend. “In fact, Angie’s so in love that she was the one to propose!”

ALL THE “I DO” DETAILS

The timing couldn’t t

be better. Angelina, 42, is scheduled to be in her fiancé’s home country from April until August to film Maleficent 2 and to fulfill her duties as a visiting professor at the London School of Economics. That will allow her to be in England long enough to do some hands- on wedding planning. And kids Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 11, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 9, are happy to be a part of it. “While they love Brad, the children really like weddings and are incredibly excited about Angelina marrying again,” shares an insider. “They’ll be heavily involved in putting together the ceremony, which Angie is hoping to hold in late July or early August at the mansion the family’s renting outside of London. Pax has already called dibs on providing the music and overseeing the baking of the cake for the reception!”

Her brood isn’t just helping organize the “I do”s. They’re also being eyed for starring roles. “Angelina’s thinking of having Zahara and Viv as bridesmaids, and decided that Shiloh should walk her down the aisle,” says the insider. Though Pax asked to remain behind the scenes, Knox will be a ring bearer and Maddox will serve as the groom’s best man. “Maddox wants to play a crucial role,” the insider says. “In some ways, he feels like the man of the family now.”

When Brad’s not around, that is. Angie and the actor, 54, were together for 11 years, and married for two, before she blindsided him by filing for divorce in September 2016 after an altercation between Brad and Maddox on a private plane. While months of court- ordered therapy, supervised visitation and tense custody talks followed, the exes are in a good place now — and Brad has actually given the summer wedding his blessing. “He will probably be left off the wedding guest list, but Brad’s told pals that Angie deserves happiness even if it’s not with him,” says the insider. “He’s just thrilled about her getting ready to sign off on the divorce so that he can get on with his life as well.”

SECRET LOVE

It was the former couple’s mutual pal George Cloo-

ney’s human rights attorney wife, Amal, who helped Angelina move on. In 2017, U. K.-raised Amal introduced Angie to her British husband-to-be. “Angelina and Amal speak regularly about human rights around the globe and have become fast friends, and Amal had a hunch that the two would hit it off,” says the close pal. “Angie and her new man have been seeing each other on the down-low ever since. Only Amal, George and a few other pals have even been aware of the romance!” But Angie says it’s the best relationship she’s ever had. “She’s described her beau to friends as hands some, distinguished, bold, witty and one of the kindest souls she’s ever met,” dishes the insider. “They also have so much in common, including high-profile pals. Their first date was a quiet dinner at a British diplomat friend’s house, followed by a drink in her hotel room. And the relationship progressed quickly from there.”

Both are deeply passionate about politics and helping women and child refugees, says the insider, and he’s even traveled to watch Angelina in action at U.N. summit meetings. Over the past months, “he’s also visited her in California and the Middle East,” notes the friend. “It’s the most unexpected relationship of Angelina’s life, but she thinks he’s the one person who was truly meant for her. Even the kids see how much she cares for him by the way she giddily answers the phone every time he calls.”

A FRESH START

A select few will get to see firsthand how happy the man Angelina shyly calls “my Englishman” makes her at their wedding this summer. The guest list will include George and Amal, Angie’s brother James Haven and her dad, Jon Voight, says the insider. Also expected to attend: several British humanitarian contacts and Angelina’s close friend, Cambodian author and activist Loung Ung, the author of the book First They Killed My Father, which Angie turned into a 2017 film. “Angelina can’t wait to wed and says she’s never been this in sync with someone before,” notes the friend. “Her goal is ultimately to settle in London with him and the kids. She’s sure husband No. 4 will be her final husband.”
