The Los Angeles and Mexico City premieres of their movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith may have been back to back, but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were not. Both stars were careful to have their producer stand between them as photographers snapped away on the red carpet.

At Tuesday's post-screening party in L.A., in the courtyard of Westwood's Hammer Museum, Jolie told a male companion about Pitt, "I can't see him in public," reports USA Today. The paper reports that the standoff – and the studied distance between the two stars – caused awkwardness at the party, as guests and handlers circled Pitt and Jolie.

"Can you believe this craziness?" Pitt, 41, reportedly asked Jolie, 30.

Wednesday's South of the Border event was a bit looser, with Pitt and Jolie all smiles – though, again, they stood separately, and answered no questions about their relationship, reports the Associated Press.

Sporting stubble, a low-key short-sleeve shirt, and newly bleached spiky-hair, Pitt posed for photographers, signed autographs and called Jolie "a firecracker" who's "dear to my heart," he said. "You never know what she's going to say."

When asked about a shortage of steamy love scenes in the movie, Pitt smiled and said, "It's PG-13. What are you going to do?"

For her part at the premiere, Jolie called Pitt "a great person" who's "very down to earth and very funny."

However, when asked if he were marriage material, Jolie just giggled and moved on.
