Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt never really denied they wanted a fifth baby to join their precious family, but now they confirmed it.

While in Italy for this year’s annual Venice Festival, Brad Pitt, 43, told an Italian TV station he and Angelina are ready to have another baby.  

"Yeah, we're ready," he said, confirming all the ongoing rumors about another addition, and pretty much dismissing all speculation their relationship might be crumbling.

"It's the most fun I've ever had and also the biggest pain I've ever experienced," he said when asked what it was like to become a family with four children in a short space of time.

"I love it and can't recommend it any more highly - although sleep is nonexistent," he added.

Brad and Angelina were in town for the world premiere of Pitt's new Western, "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford."

The two actors already have their hands full with 6-year-old Maddox, whom Jolie adopted from Cambodia five years ago, followed by Zahara from Ethiopia in 2005, 15-month-old Shiloh, the couple’s biological child and 3-year-old Pax Thien, who was adopted earlier this year, and the rhythm seems to be pacing. Angelina sure meant it when she said she’s not getting any younger and wants to have the kids while she’s still young.

Having four small children "makes me much more efficient because when I work, I really have to focus. I know I've less time to get things done. Actually, I'm quite pleased by it," Brad said.

Rumors were, not long ago, the two are trying hard to conceive another baby of their own, and Brad really wants to have a boy, but who knows.

They were also reportedly interested in adopting another African girl, so that Miss Z would have someone bond with regarding the color of her skin, when she’ll grow up. Either way, we just have to wait and see.
