    Angelina Jolie was spotted wearing a band on her ring finger at the weekend, prompting reports that she and Brad Pitt have secretly tied the knot

    Angelina Jolie was spotted wearing a band on her ring finger at the weekend, prompting reports that she and Brad Pitt have secretly tied the knot.

    The A-lister was spotted shopping in Bondi Beach, Australia, where she is gearing up to direct her next movie, Unbroken – while wearing the new ring – a thicker and lighter band than the gold ring she's been sporting since April 2013, according to RadarOnline.

    Could our favourite Hollywood couple have secretly tied the knot?

    Previous reports have revealed that while Brad wanted a more traditional affair, Angelina was looking 'to incorporate different ethnic wedding traditions from around the world into one alternative ceremony and event.'

    A year ago, Brad told reporters that he has been under 'pressure' from his kids to marry Angelina, and said: 'I also feel like the time has come... The time is nigh. It's soon. I got a good feeling about it.'

    Then, back in February 2013, the couple reportedly obtained a marriage license – the same month Angelina is thought to have undergone her preventative double mastectomy procedure.

    Angelina and Brad also previously said they wouldn't tie the knot until same-sex marriage was legal in all 50 states, and in June 2013, DOMA was repealed by the Supreme Court, a ruling certain states have already used to help legalise gay marriage.

    In July, reports surfaced that the celeb couple wanted to tie the knot aboard a cruise ship, with sources claiming that Angelina made enquiries about chartering the Hebridean Princess - a ship used by the royal family - for the occasion.

    In any case, Brad and Angelina were happy to splash out on diamonds as they hit the Hong Kong jewellery district last week, visiting the Emperor Watch and Jewellery Store and reportedly spending $250,000 on purchases.

    'They bought a Parmigiani Watch (an exclusive Swiss watch brand renowned for its quality) and some other jewellery products from our shop that day,' assistant public relations manager for the store, Kristy Yue, told People.

    Brad also reportedly purchased diamonds for the mum-of-six, including an 18-carat rose gold diamond pendant called the Sunray and a delicate diamond tennis bracelet. Eek. Eyes peeled to Brad's wedding ring finger, people...
