Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have splashed out on a $40 million Italian home.
The couple - who raise six children together - have reportedly bought a 15-bedroom mansion located in the hills of Valpolicella, Verona, with seven bathrooms, a home cinema, gym, two swimming pools, and Jacuzzi spread out over 18,000 square feet.
Property Consultant Alexander Proto said: "They wanted something more exclusive and in record time to spend the summer vacation in Italy."
The pair reportedly looked at two cheaper properties - for sale at around $10 million - before splashing out on the bigger home, which they are expected to use for vacations.
Meanwhile, Angelina has confessed that she is scared of her children growing up.
The 35-year-old beauty - who raises Maddox, eight, Pax, six, Zahara, five, Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with Brad - admitted she can't stand thinking of the youngsters getting old enough to have more freedom.
She said: "Eventually all the kids are going to be teenagers or tweens. I'm not ready at all. I'm glad I have a few more years. I'm not ready for them driving, dating, I'm not ready for any of it. I break out in a sweat just at the thought."
The 'Salt' actress confessed that she and Brad already have a plan in place to deal with any teenage drama.
She explained: "Our plan is to just have a really, really great relationship with our children so when they hit that time that they don't want to talk to us we've instilled some good values already because it would be too late to say it as they're walking out the door".
