They shocked the world by revealing they had secretly married in an intimate French ceremony on Saturday.
But Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's wedding may not be legal just yet, according to California law, which decrees they have to tie the knot in the state to make their union official.
The Pitts said 'I Do' at their French estate, Chateau Mirval, last Saturday in a ceremony presided over by a judge from California after they obtained their license in California.
However, California marriage licenses only authorize an official to 'perform a marriage ceremony within the state of California', according to the state Department of Public Health. This means the A list couple may have either got married before jetting to France or will have to do so rather soon.
A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Couny Registrar told MailOnline that the Pitts have 90 days to get married after obtaining their marriage license, saying: 'We do not have any information on the marriage.
'To get married in Los Angeles County, couples need to obtain a marriage license and solemnize their marriage within 90 days.
'Afterwards, they submit their signed marriage license to receive a marriage certificate. The marriage record becomes available after 6-8 weeks.'
She added: 'The judge would have to do it in California or LA County but many people have a ceremony outside of their official one.'
