Jolie confirmed the move at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Monday night, saying, "We love it there. The kids are going to go to school there. We're really looking forward to it."

    According to Us Weekly, the movie star pair moved to the Big Easy on Jan. 11 and have purchased a 3.5-million-dollar, six-bed mansion in the city's French Quarter -- the fourth house owned by the couple.

    Pitt is currently filming "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in Louisiana and Jolie plans on being a low-key mother to the couple's three children, Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and seven-month-old Shiloh.

    A source close to the actress said, "She's interested in befriending normal moms so she can do things with the kids."

    The couple also hope to raise awareness for the hurricane-devastated Gulf Coast region and they are already looking to get more involved in local charity work, the source said.

    According to Us Weekly, construction is set to start this month on 20 environment-friendly homes Pitt has jointly commissioned with the group Global Green USA.

    Pitt, currently starring in the globe-spanning drama "Babel," and Jolie, an Oscar winner for her role in "Girl, Interrupted," co-starred as married assassins hired to kill each other in the film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."

    According to Jolie, they began a romantic relationship after Pitt's marriage to Jennifer Aniston broke up in early 2005.

    Jolie has said they have no plans to marry but are committed to raising their three children together.
