Much has been written on the strange relationship that encompasses Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their two adopted children.  And much of it concentrates on the negative and speculation as to whether the pair can last long after their first child is born.

Angie finally finds peace with Brad

But friends of the actress say she has finally found peace with the help of Brad.

Life & Style Weekly cites insiders in a story that is published that claims for the first time in her life, the insiders say, Angie, 30, is truly content.

The reason - in Brad Pitt, 42, she has found someone who loves her and shares her hopes and desires for the future.

“Angelina’s achieving everything she’s ever really wanted,” says a close friend of hers. “She has a man who adores her, a biological child on the way, two adorable adopted children to raise and more adop¬tions to come. And she’s in a posi¬tion to do a huge amount to help children around the world."

"She and Brad are at the pinnacle of their relationship.”

That's the rub for some - as many wonder if it will last past this "pinnacle." 

But in her interview with Ann Curry for NBC she certainly seemed thrilled.  The change even struck Curry. “There’s been a major transforma¬tion in her,” she said. “I once knew a dark, sad woman who’s now so joy¬ful, she doesn’t stop laughing.”

The article also claims Brad is finally coming around to Jolie's unorthodox lifestyle as well.  While Pitt certainly appears to be the more traditional of the two-the mag reports that he's been transformed by the relation¬ship.

Brad once seemed content just to chill out in Malibu, and he was initially horrified that Angie wanted to give birth to their child in Africa. But now, “he’s seen what she can do in Namibia, and he’s come around totally,” a friend of Angie’s tells Life & Style.

“Brad believes they’re meant to be in Africa at this time.”

It will be interesting to see if Pitt holds those same feelings after the baby is born and he wants to have his first biological child able to have a "normal" relationship.
