A radiant Angelina Jolie has made her first public appearance, less than two weeks after the birth of her first biological child, a baby daughter called Shiloh Nouvel.
The Oscar-winning actress and her partner, Brad Pitt, were on buoyant form at a press conference in Swakopmund in Namibia, the country where their baby was born on May 26.
Characteristically elegant but sexy in a low-cut black dress, Angelina was all smiles as the couple answered eager questions and met with the nation's first lady and other well-wishers.
"We are very grateful to the people of Namibia for making our time so special," said Angelina, who has two other small children – Cambodian-born Maddox, who's four, and 16-month-old Zahara, from Ethiopia. "We could not have picked a better place to have our child."
The photogenic couple dismissed rumours of a wedding, which had intensified at the end of last year with the revelations that Angelina was expecting and Brad had applied to adopt Maddox and Zahara, and reached fever pitch when the couple withdrew to the African country to await the birth in seclusion.
"There is nothing in the air," insisted the Tomb Raider star. "The focus is the kids and we are obviously extremely committed to the children and as parents together."
