The unborn child of
Brad Pitt and
Angelina Jolie arrived in the combustible Caribbean capital Friday accompanied by his or her famous parents to be. It was the budding baby's first media opportunity since Jolie's pregnancy was confirmed Wednesday. Likewise, it was Pitt and Jolie's first public outing since the news broke.

Mother did all the talking.

And owing to Jolie's role as a
United Nations goodwill ambassador, all she talked about was the nation that the U.S. government has warned Americans to avoid because of threats of kidnapping, looting and roving militias.

"You hear so much just about the danger and the fear and then you come here and you meet just an amazing people," Jolie said. "Given just a little chance, and given a little help, this is going to be a great country."

Jolie has been in the region at work on The Good Shepherd, a
Robert De Niro-directed epic about the history of the
CIA. It reportedly was in the Dominican Republic that Jolie confessed to an aid worker that, no, actually she wasn't just bloated.

In Port-au-Prince, Jolie and Pitt visited a school, and "watched children dance and recite poetry," per the Associated Press. More than a PTA-approved date, it was a solid for hip-hop musician Wyclef Jean, who was back in his native land to mark an anniversary for his Yéle Haiti Foundation.

"To have these people [Pitt and Jolie] grace our country is a beautiful thing," Jean said to the wire service.

The Jolie press conference was held at Telemax, the Haitian TV station recently bought by Jean, the French-language Haiti Press Network reported.

Though billed as a surprise visit, the Pitt-Jolie sojourn was about as poorly a kept secret as the nature of the Mr. and Mrs. Smith costars' off-screen relationship. Thursday's Miami Herald said Port-au-Prince had been "abuzz with rumors of an impending visit by Jolie."

For those keeping count, Pitt, 42, and Jolie, 30, now have willingly appeared in public together twice since the former's marriage to
Jennifer Aniston ended. The first formal photo-op came in Kentucky in October, shortly after the Pitt-Aniston divorce was finalized.

Taking the road less traveled by
Jennifer Lopez and
Ben Affleck, Pitt and Jolie chose to let paperwork do the talking for them, outing themselves as a committed couple in December when Pitt initiated proceedings to adopt Jolie's two children.

As Pitt was preparing to accompany Jolie on her latest international trip, reporters in New York City asked U.N. Secretary-General
Kofi Annan on Thursday if the Fight Club star was goodwill ambassador material.

"I will consider it, and I will let him know you recommended him," Annan said, per Reuters.

In other related Pitt-Jolie developments, Aniston's publicist has blasted as false reports that cropped up as last week in publications such as Life & Style that Jolie informed the ex-Mrs. Pitt of her pregnancy via a telephone call. A variation of the item, which had Pitt delivering the potentially uncomfortable news, also was branded as untrue.

"All the reports about phone calls between Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie are all made-up lies," rep Stephen Huvane told Extra.

Also not receiving a ring from Pitt or Jolie about the baby was Jolie's estranged father
Jon Voight. The Oscar-winner apparently learned of his progeny's pregnancy through Access Hollywood.

"It's a wonderful thing," Voight told the TV show. "I wish them the best."
