In 2011 the Academy award-winning actress, 38, teased fans when she revealed that she is open to having another child.
"Nothing planned at the moment, but we just don't know," Jolie told Marie Claire magazine at the time before teasing "I could end up pregnant."
Jolie was reportedly inspired to have more children after a visiting Syrian refugees in the Middle East in recent weeks. She is said to be contemplating both a natural pregnancy and adoption.
"Angie and Brad's attitude towards kids is the more the better and that once you have several a few more makes no difference," a source told The Sun UK.
"She has been particularly touched by the situation in Syria and wants to adopt a child from Jordan to do her bit to help," the source continued adding "The publicity would help draw the world's attention to what's going on there."
The United Nations ambassador recently gushed about her love for Pitt, who was previously married to actress Jennifer Aniston. The couple is expected to wed in coming months.
"[Brad] has expanded my life in ways I never imagined. We built a family. He is not just the love of my life, he is my family. I hold that very dear," she said.
"I suppose what I've learned from Brad is to be able to have the kind of family whose happiness and well-being comes before your own," she continued adding "I'm very, very grateful to have such a loving family, and I wouldn't have that without him."
