Some of the possible details of Angelina Jolie’s (as yet not officially confirmed) pregnancy are in the new issue of the National Enquirer. The Enquirer is a little shaky on some of the specifics, but according to them Angelina agreed to have another biological child with Brad Pitt before they adopted again. This was mostly at his request. However due to her weight… or lack of weight… Angelina was unable to get pregnant. The Enquirer speculates that she was truly afraid Brad would leave her, and sought the help of an in vitro specialist.

“Brad and Angelina are absolutely thrilled, but Angelina is also very relieved,” sand an insider. “She always knew having twins was a possibility, because Brad’s sister had twins. But after trying for months to conceive naturally, she also began to fear that she’d never get pregnant again. That’s when she went to the specialist. She really believes that the new babies will finally put to rest the problems in their relationship.

…the tension between them eased after Angelina agreed to postpone another adoption to grant Brad’s wish to have another biological baby, continued the insider. “Then when she couldn’t’ get pregnant, Angelina worried that Brad might leave her. Brad really is committed to the family and wouldn’t dream of leaving his kids. but that didn’t stop Angelina from feeling insecure.”

The Enquirer really loves the “Angelina is so paranoid/jealous/insecure” angle. I’m not sure I buy it. She doesn’t seem to be ridiculously desperate to keep a guy, and somehow I’ve always seen her as the one who wears the pants in that relationship. I would think that if she really is pregnant, she’s doing it because she wants to be, not just because Brad wants more biological kids.

They go on to speculate that getting pregnant has been beneficial for Angelina’s health.

It wasn’t very long ago that Angelina had lost so much weight that her friends and family were getting really worried about her health,” said the insider. “And her eating difficulties definitely played a part in her deciding to get some help in getting pregnant. As it turned out, it was the best thing she could have done. While Angelina hasn’t been looking after herself so well in the last year or so, she will do everything she can to care for her unborn babies, so her health is sure to benefit.”

Everyone is always saying that Angelina Jolie is pregnant, but the speculation really hit a high note at the recent Screen Actor’s Guild awards, for which Angelina wore a long, flowing dress that would hide any bump. For the first time in ages, she actually had some curves on her body. She and Brad couldn’t keep their hands off each other, and looked happier than ever.

Looking happy and relaxed, Angelina stuck to water at the function [the Critics’ Choice Awards], while Brad drank beer and others at their table downed glasses of champagne. Around the same time, the “Tomb Raider” mom was spotted visiting the office of Dr. Jason Rothbart, who treated her during her first pregnancy and delivered baby Shiloh in Namibia 20 months ago.

While the Enquirer talks about the in vitro like it’s a fact, it’s obviously rumor unless Angelina or Brad actually come out and say it. Lots of women experience fertility problems, so it is possible. But I’d say at this point it’s equally possible that Angie got pregnant the old fashioned way – especially considering that she and Brad have seemed so touchy and grabby lately. Either way, it’ll be fun to see if we get a confirmation soon.
