Los Angeles: Actor Brad Pitt has filed legal papers in Los Angeles to adopt the children of actress Angelina Jolie.
Jolie's two children, Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 10 months, will go by the last name of Jolie-Pitt when the legal procedure is completed.
Jolie adopted Maddox from Cambodia and Zahara from Ethiopia.
"The ink isn't even dry on the adoption papers, and Brad is literally jumping for joy," Brad?s close friend said. "He's calling friends and telling them the great news."
The couple is expected to marry soon and have already drawn up a prenuptial agreement, primarily to benefit the two children.
Pitt's divorce from actress Jennifer Aniston was completed in October after four-and-a-half years of marriage.
Jolie will also change her last name to Jolie-Pitt after the marriage.
Pitt and Jolie met on the set of their film Mr. & Mrs. Smith last year and denied being anything more than friends though tabloid newspapers insisted that they were romantically involved.
Representatives for Pitt and Jolie were not immediately available for comment.
