Brad Pitt has formally adopted Angelina Jolie's two children as a precursor to the couple's marriage, In Touch has learned exclusively. A legal petition was filed in LA on Friday to change the children's names to Maddox and Zahara Jolie-Pitt.

As In Touch exclusively reported last week, the couple drew up a prenuptial agreement, primarily to benefit the two children, and the document includes details about the adoption.

The couple is now expected to marry soon, even though Brad's divorce from Jennifer Aniston was only finalized in October. Angelina will change her last name to Jolie-Pitt after the marriage, an insider says.

Brad, 41, and Angelina met on the set of their summer smash Mr. & Mrs. Smith last year, but denied a romance. The pair maintained their silence and kept a low profile until November 18 when they went to Louisville, Ky., together for the opening of the Muhammad Ali Center. They then spent Thanksgiving helping out in earthquake-ravaged Pakistan.

Jennifer and Brad split in January after four-and-a-half years of marriage and Jen, 36, filed for divorce in March.

Now that Brad is legal father to Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 10 months, the couple is expected to adopt at least one more child once they are wed.

While this will be Brad's second marriage, it will be a third for Angelina, 30, who was previously wed to British actor Jonny Lee Miller and then to Billy Bob Thornton.
