Los Angeles:
Hollywood actor Brad Pitt says his six children are "putting on the heat" for him and partner Angelina Jolie to get married.
The couple have been together since 2005 and raise three adopted and three biological children -- Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
"The kids are putting on the heat. They really are," he said in an interview with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
However, Pitt, 47, and Jolie, 36, have always maintained they would not wed until gay marriage is made legal throughout the US.
"We live in this great country that is about freedom. It is defined by our freedom and equality and yet we allow this discrimination to go on every day and that's not what we're about," he said.
When asked by DeGeneres if gay marriage was legal, they would marry immediately, Pitt replied: "It seems."
The 'Moneyball' star also addressed comments he made about his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, in which he is quoted saying he "pretended the marriage was something it wasn't."
Pitt said the statement about Aniston was taken out of context.
"I don't know what was pieced together or put together. It has no reference to the past. And I think it's a shame that I can't say something nice about Angie without Jen being dragged in. You know, she doesn't deserve it," he added.
