According to The Daily Star, the megawatt couple have told friends of their intention to add a second Ethiopian child to their family.
Their 6-year-old daughter Zahara previously lived in the poorly-developed eastern African nation.
"They are really excited about it," an insider told the British tabloid. "Brad and Angie made a promise to Zahara years ago that they would adopt another child from the region so she could have a sibling to relate to."
Seven also happens to be Brad's favourite number.
The source added: "Seven has always been Brad's lucky number. He and Angelina think it would bring them luck and happiness."
According to Us Weekly, a SWAT team from Hungary's anti-terrorism department raided one of the film's production warehouses and confiscated 85 fully functional weapons -- the majority of them assault rifles.
According to the magazine, the weapons bore paperwork indicating that they were non-functional, and its not yet known who is responsible for the snafu.
The guns were reportedly flown in via private plane Monday. An official for the Hungarian government told Us that they were wrapped in a parcel addressed "from a company to an individual [in Budapest]."
No matter who's to blame, Hungary's anti-terrorism unit is taking the matter seriously.
"Guns like these are highly illegal to transport even if they were to used as stage guns, which hopefully they weren't," Hajdu Janos and Zsolt Bodnar, the director and deputy director of Hungary's anti-terrorist force, told the magazine.
A spokesman for the film told TheWrap, "We are working with the authorities to resolve the matter and have no further comment at this time."
In addition to starring in "World War Z," which chronicles the aftermath of a zombie war, Pitt also serves as a producer on the film.
Matthew Fox co-stars in the project, slated to hit theaters on December 21, 2012.
Neither Paramount Pictures nor Plan B Entertainment, the production company behind "World War Z," immediately responded to TheWrap's request for comment.
The Horn of Africa nation has been suffering from its worst famine in 60 years, and the United Nations says 750,000 people are at risk of starving to death in the next few months.
The US estimates that the drought and famine have so far killed more than 29,000 children under the age of five in southern Somalia.
Mohamed Dahir of Humanitarian Initiative Just Relief Aid said the donation from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation will allow his group to expand its lifesaving health services that serve 300 women and children each day in Mogadishu's Badbaado camp for the displaced people.
But he spent much of a TV interview on morning talk show "Today" trying to explain an earlier remark that suggested he found his five-year marriage to Aniston boring, and that he is now a "satisfied man" in his relationship with Angelina Jolie.
The 47-year-old Pitt said in a profile by Parade magazine posted on the publication's website on Thursday that he is now a "satisfied man" in his relationship with Angelina Jolie.
The "Moneyball" star compares his new life with Jolie, with whom he is raising 6 kids, favorably to the roughly five years he spent married to Aniston.
"It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn't living an interesting life myself," Pitt told Parade.
"I think that my marriage (to Aniston) had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn't," he added.
Pitt and "Friends" star Aniston were married in 2000, and he has largely avoided talking about his ex-wife since their 2005 divorce.
In the magazine interview, Pitt also said he spent the 1990s "trying to hide out" from celebrity. "I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out," he said in the interview.
Although Pitt and Oscar winner Jolie have been together for over five years, the actor has said they will not marry until gay marriage is widely legalized. He is sticking to that.
"We'll get married when everyone can," Pitt told Parade.
The Parade interview with Pitt, who stars in the upcoming baseball drama "Moneyball," is being published in this Sunday's edition of the magazine.
Starring as Gerry Lane in the big screen undead apocalypse film, "World War Z," Pitt was in the midst of shooting a scene in which fearful masses rush through Glasgow's George Square, trying to get away from the scourge of the face eaters. One woman, involved in the stampede of fearful Scots, fell over amidst the madness, and was in danger of being trampled upon by her fellow extras. Then in came the hero; according to the Scottish Sun newspaper, Pitt rushed over, scooped up the woman and carried her off to safety.
There has been a rash of injuries on the chaotic set, but thanks to Pitt's bravery and quick reaction time, a tragedy was avoided. And the show kept on going.
"He didn't have time to speak to her as it was mid-shoot. But she said afterwards how grateful she was, despite having a badly-grazed knee," an onlooker told the newspaper.
The film is an adaptation of Max Brooks' novel, with adjustment made for timing and flow; the book itself is a telling of a number of survivors' experience, while the film puts the action right during that zombie apocalypse. Mireille Enos, Emmy-nominated star of "The Killing," plays Pitt's wife in the film.
