Angelina and Brad…Parents AGAIN!!
PARIS, France (AP) — The Brangelina twins are here: Angelina Jolie has given birth to a girl and a boy.
Angelina Jolie and her partner, Brad Pitt, are welcoming the arrival of twins.
The obstetrician who delivered the twins, Dr. Michel Sussmann, told The Associated Press that the actress, the babies and Jolie’s partner, actor Brad Pitt, “are doing marvelously well.”
Sussmann said Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Cesarian section on Saturday night in southern France.
He told AP on Sunday morning that the boy weighed 2.28 kilograms (5.03 pounds) and the girl 2.27 kilograms (5 pounds). The 33-year-old actress gave birth at around 8 p.m on Saturday night, the doctor said by telephone.
Pitt was there during the operation, said the doctor, who delivered the twins at the seaside Lenval hospital in Nice.
“Everything is going well,” said Sussmann. “The mother, the babies, the father are doing marvelously well.”
He said the Cesarian was moved forward from its originally planned date “for medical reasons” so that the babies could be born “in the best conditions.” The doctor did not give details..
Jolie and Pitt have four other children: Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2.
Though the lenses of the world’s paparazzi had been trained on maternity wards across the French Riviera, Jolie managed to slip unobserved into the clinic, which has magnificent views of the Mediterranean, reportedly arriving by helicopter on the hospital’s rooftop helipad.
Pitt was seen coming and going after Jolie’s hospitalization became public.
The first photos of the new twins are expected to fetch millions of dollars.
