ANGELINA JOLIE & BRAD PITT ARE NORMAL PARENTS

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are just "mommy and daddy in our pyjamas" when they're not working on movie sets, according to the action girl.

Angelina Jolie insists the pair's home life with their six kids isn't the glamorous existence many think it is - they balance the glare of the spotlight with private family life and travels to exotic locations.

But it's not all fanfares and red carpets.

Angelina Jolie explains to Parade magazine, "He takes the kids to school; he visits me on set with the kids. I'm home for dinner, or I'm there for breakfast. We're together all the time. We plan... We actually don't go out much. It's funny. We're very homebound. We're very much mommy and daddy in our pyjamas."

And the actress also insists she and Brad Pitt aren't apart for long, despite media reports the couple rarely sees each other: "Brad and I take time off between films to travel, have big experiences, do things together. That's how we work it out.

"There's never a period when Brad and I are pulled apart. We are not separated for more than three days, ever. We stay really connected."
