Brad and Angelina aren’t into taking the plunge, while Nicole and Joel made it down the aisle after becoming parents. Experts say tying the knot just because you have kids isn’t always for the best. Are you surprised?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may have six children, but they are one of the many celebrity couples who have yet to tie the knot. Thing is, they’re fine with that. “I have love in my life, a soul mate – absolutely,” Brad, 47, says. “When someone asked me why Angie and I don’t get married, I replied, ‘Maybe we’ll get married when it’s legal for everyone else.” But although Brad and Angie are happy raising a family out of wedlock, have they considered how their kids feel about their relationship?

On the other hand, actress Julianne Moore recently confessed that her children Caleb, 13, and Liv, 8, convinced her to marry their father Bart Freundlich. “The only reason I got married in 2003 was for my children,” Julianne, 50, tells the British newspaper the Guardian. “I had a therapist who said marriage is really a container for a family, and that made sense to me.”

If today’s unmarried celebrity parents were around back in the 1930′s and 40′s, their careers would have been destroyed if the studios ever found out about being pregnant out of wedlock. This is because morals clauses were put into the stars’ contracts.
For example, Loretta Young got pregnant from an affair that she had with Clark Gable while they were making the movie, “The Call of the Wild.” Because she was a devout Catholic, it was a mortal sin, and she kept her pregnancy hidden. She went away to Europe, then she came back to California. She had the baby; a baby girl named Judy, and she put the baby in an orphanage. When Judy was 19 months old, she was adopted by Loretta Young. Judy took the last name of Loretta Young’s second husband, Lewis. Several decades later, Loretta Young privately acknowledged Judy Lewis as her biological daughter by Clark Gable, but she refused to do so publicly. They didn’t speak for several years.
Back in the late 1940′s, Ingrid Bergman got pregnant from an affair that she had with the Italian film director, Roberto Rossellini. She had the baby; a baby boy, and it caused a scandal. She was denounced in Congress and called a “free-love cultist.”
What was considered a scandal back then is now, very sadly, widely accepted today. We have simply thrown God’s laws, especially when it comes to sex, marriage, family, and relationships, into His face and choose to live on our own terms.
Call me old-fashioned if you want me to, but it’s better to obey God than man.
