Angelina Jolie Gives Birth to Twins

According to all newspapers in France and around the world, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have welcomed their twins. By the way, they did not have twin girls, or twin boys, they had one of each. That’s right sometime last night she gave birth, reports say around 8p.m. by c-section. Woo hoo! I’m sure this happy couple are even happier today.

According to CNN:

“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.

He said Jolie was expected to stay in the hospital for a few more days. The doctor said he believed that the baby girl’s middle name was chosen in honor of Jolie’s mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, who died in January 2007 after a 7 1/2-year battle with cancer.

Jolie and Pitt have four other children: Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2.

As you can see they really did think about these names and I’m happy to see that she has included her mother’s name inside her daughter. This is a very loving gesture and I’m sure her mother would’ve felt honored. I’ve no clue what the boy’s name comes from though, maybe something Brad always wanted.

According to People Magazine:

Sussmann confirmed the Nice Matin newspaper report that Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Cesarean section on Saturday night. Knox weighed 5.03 lbs, and Vivienne 5 lbs.

Congratulations to the happy couple.
