Brad Pitt has described Angelina Jolie as his "soul mate" in a gushing new interview with Parade magazine. Gossip has been rife in recent weeks that the pair, parents of six children, were heading for a split. "I have love in my life, a soul mate-absolutely. When someone asked me why Angie and I don't get married, I replied, ‘Maybe we'll get married when it's legal for everyone else,'" Brad revealed before discussing his views on gay marriage. "I stand by that, although I took a lot of flak for saying it -hate mail from religious groups. I believe everyone should have the same rights. They say gay marriage ruins families and hurts kids. Well, I've had the privilege of seeing my gay friends being parents and watching their kids grow up in a loving environment. Man, I resent people telling others how to live! It drives me mental!" Brad then went on to discuss how becoming a parent has changed his life. "Children are a dominant value in my life now, and they weren't before. They were always something I thought I'd get around to having when the time was right," he revealed. "It wasn't what I was really seeking. In a way, I think I had to go and exhaust me before I could be good at being a parent. This family is full of life! There are laughs, aggravations, irritations, but at the end of the day, it's fun. When life is really good, it's messy."
