What do you get the man who truly has everything? Well, a heart-shaped island might do the trick.

Their love for one another has never been in doubt, but Angelina Jolie has apparently reinforced the depth of her feelings for Brad Pitt by buying him his very own heart shaped island.

Brad Pitt will be turning the big 50 next month, and reports claimed that his soon-to-be wife Angelina Jolie decided to splurge for her man's milestone birthday by purchasing all of Petra Island on New York's very private Lake Mahopac for a cool $20 million.

"As soon as Angelina heard the island was on the market she arranged a viewing. She was really impressed. The house is perfect for romantic getaways or as a family retreat.

"It's very private. And Angelina knows the fact the island is in the shape of a heart will mean so much to him."

Petra's original cottage was erected in 1950, while its larger property was built from one of Wright's blueprints in 2008 - 48-years after his death.

The finer details of its intricate design will not be lost on architecture fan Brad, who once admitted that Frank Lloyd Wright "changed his life."

Angelina has previously treated him to a tour of the late architect's home, Fallingwater, in 2006.
