'I think it would be hard to say no to the kids,' Angelina said on Good Morning America. 'They're not asking. They are very aware that nothing's missing.'
The Salt actress said she and Brad 'love' the idea of having more children.
But Angelina said they don't currently plan to expand their family.
'There's no plans at the moment for more. But we always talk about it. We're always open.
'We kind of joke about it, because in the morning we're so tired. Because nobody spends the night.
'We wake up and we have breakfast. And so, we always have this thing kind of first thing in the morning where we're really, really tired.

Angelina also gave an insight into the domestic life of her family.
'He's better at making eggs and bacon than I am. I try,' she said. 'But I think everybody prefers Dad's eggs and bacon. They always want pancakes.
'Knox is very into pancakes right now. And gets really upset if he can't have pancakes.
'You know, we just try to corral them. We've had to put new gates up, because the twins are kind of going everywhere, while we were trying to make breakfast and get the others out the door for camp.
'So, we've had to put like extra gates on the kitchen. And we have drawers in the kitchen full of toys.

The 35-year-old said she and Brad work together to discipline their brood.
'I think I'm better at disciplining the girls. And he's better at disciplining the boys,' she said.
'But we kind of made a plan early on that we believe that you can't be good cop/bad cop. That you have to back each other no matter what.
'We are working together. You cannot break us.'
