WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Actress Angelina Jolie is pregnant with Brad Pitt's child and is expecting this summer, People magazine reported on Wednesday.

"Yes, I'm pregnant," the U.S. entertainment magazine quoted Jolie as telling a charity worker in the Dominican Republic, where she is working on a movie.

People magazine added that Jolie's first pregnancy had been confirmed by representatives of both stars.

Actor Pitt, 42, divorced actress Jennifer Aniston in October after 4 1/2 years of marriage.

He had previously met Jolie, 30, on the set of their film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," but the couple played down rampant media speculation about their relationship, saying they were just friends.

Last month, media reported that Pitt had filed legal papers in Los Angeles to adopt Jolie's two adopted children, adding that this might be a step leading to marriage.
