Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reportedly sold their New Orleans home.

The sale of their $3.5 million home – which they bought two years ago while Brad was filming ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ – has fuelled reports the couple want to settle permanently in Europe.

Brad and pregnant Angelina are currently living in a leased property in the South of France as they prepare for the birth of their twins.

The 880-acre estate boasts 35 bedrooms, a banquet hall, chapel, lake, moat, two pools, a gym and even a recording studio which has been used in the past by rockers Sting and Pink Floyd.

Despite the move, Brad, 44, will maintain strong links with New Orleans, which is home to Brad’s Make It Right NOLA charitable foundation.

However, a spokesperson for the couple has denied the couple have sold their property, saying: "This rumour going around that they've sold or are selling their house in New Orleans is not true. It's just made up, as are a lot of things that are said about them."

The city conveyance office also did not have any record that the couple had sold their New Orleans home, which they bought under the name Mondo Bongo Trust.
