Closer to home, at the Malibu Starbucks where the couple stopped by during the holidays, "they were so cute," says a local who often sees them there. "Their passion is very pure and powerful – you can feel it."

Just as evident is their passion for Maddox, whom Jolie adopted from Cambodia in '02, and Zahara, whom she adopted last July. In many ways they have quickly become a traditional family, living together in Pitt's oceanside Malibu home – now crammed with Maddox and Zahara's toys – and keeping busy with play dates in the park and preschool pickups.

"We're friends, and her kids are the most dear to her life," says musician Wyclef Jean, founder of the nonprofit Yéle Haiti, which Jolie supports. "The way she guards those kids, it's with passion. She talks about them 24/7."
