The Truth Behind Angelina Jolie's £12 Million Paradise Island Birthday Gift To Brad Pitt

Did the Oscar-winning actress really splurge on a heart-shaped isle for her Hollywood man?

Angelina Jolie seemed to have found the perfect birthday present for the man who has everything when she reportedly splashed a cool £12 million on a heart-shaped island for her husband-to-be, Brad Pitt.

Reports claimed the 38-year-old Oscar-winning actress decided to splurge in true Hollywood style for Brad's upcoming 50th birthday next month, by purchasing the beautiful private island of Petra just off the coast of New York City.

While we couldn't think of a better way to treat the lovely Mr Pitt, it's now been revealed these were nothing but romantic rumours that spiralled out of control. Oh. In fact, the island-owner herself has now spoken up to deny Ange's extravagent purchase...

'It is not true,' Donna Massaro, whose parents Joseph and Barbara Massaro, own Petra Island, told E! News.

'It is still for sale. We are open to show Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt the island but they have to have lunch at my cafe first,' Massaro, who owns the Freight House Cafe, jokingly added.'It [the house] is a labor of love and a piece of art.'

The 11-acre island currently boasts two luxurious properties - a 1,200-square-foot cottage and a 5,000-square-foot mansion, both of which were designed by Brad's favourite architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Could it be any more perfect?!

Built in 2008, the house that sits on the heart-shaped hill reportedly includes jaw-dropping panoramic views, several sky-lit rooms and luxury interior of rock and wood fixtures throughout.

Well we're sold. And with the 12 Years A Slave actor's special day not falling until December 18, there's still time for Angie to make that special purchase.

Might have slightly ruined the surprise though now. Oops.
