Windhoek - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have left Namibia with their newborn daughter and their two older children after a two month-stay at a luxury beach resort.
The governor of the Namibian region of Erongo, Samuel Nuuyoma, confirmed the family's departure on Saturday, but declined to specify the date, or where, they went.
The Hollywood couple thanked the government and its people for the peace they enjoyed in the southwest African country at a news conference on Wednesday.
"We are very proud our daughter was born here, and we leave with fond memories and definitely hungry to return," said Pitt, 42.
It was their first public appearance since Jolie, 30, gave birth to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt at a private clinic in the resort town of Walvis Bay on May 27.
Delivered by Caesarean section, the baby weighed 3.15kg and was said to be in good health.
Pitt and Jolie had retreated to Namibia for government-assisted privacy in the weeks leading up to the birth.
They were accompanied by Jolie's children, 16-month-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia, and four-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia.
Both children had their surnames legally changed to Jolie-Pitt when Pitt announced his intention to adopt them as well.
But the couple has denied rumours of an impending wedding, saying they want to concentrate on the children for now.
