New Baby, New Lives| Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt
Thrilled is more like it. Not to mention growing, globe-trotting and deeply in love. Since Jolie revealed Jan. 10 that she and Pitt are expecting a child this summer, the couple – who never previously even acknowledged a relationship – have demonstrated just how close they are. First order of business: a goodwill trip to Haiti to visit programs supported by friend Wyclef Jean's aid group Yéle Haiti – where Pitt, 42, and Jolie, 30, couldn't help beaming when they caught each other's eye.

Jolie "wants to do good for those who don't have anything, and she's brought someone into her life who feels the same," says a friend. Adds a source close to Pitt: "He found someone who is committed. This is a perfect situation."

This time last winter, Pitt's split from Jennifer Aniston appeared to put him further than ever from a dream of starting a family. Now, with a baby on the way and a petition pending to adopt Maddox and Zahara (a hearing is set for Jan. 19 in L.A.), he's an overnight family guy – and sources have said that the role of husband is likely to follow the adoptions.
