Brad and Angelina's babies OFFICIAL!

According to one of the few sources that I count on to be honest and sincere, People, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie did indeed welcome their new twin babies this weekend!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie welcome Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline

It happened on Saturday in the Lenval hospital, and they were indeed one boy and one girl!

“The babies are doing well. The operation went just perfectly,” Dr. Michael Sussmann told PEOPLE Sunday. “Angelina is in very good spirits. Brad Pitt was at her side. He was there and all was well.”

The names were also accurate as well – the boy was named Knox Leon and the girl was named Vivienne Marcheline, an obvious nod to Angie’s late mother. They were both born by c-section and weighed in just around the five pound mark, which is great for multiples. They were born early because the doctors wanted the babies to be born in the best conditions, which may have meant they were concerned about their size.

So exciting!! Welcome to the world, Knox and Vivienne!

    Nikki, after you posted I searched for the certificate and had a look at it.

    It just says “Angelina Jolie, née à Los Angeles – Californie – le 4 juin 1975″. As far as I know that just means ‘born in L.A. on the…’ So I guess we’ll still have to wait little longer for the “I do”s.

    SOOOO happy for all of them! The paper this morning said as of yet, the rest of the brood hasn’t met their brother and sister. I hope that was incorrect! By now, they should’ve been allowed into the nursery to see them. Glad she had the babies abroad… they have better health care over there and won’t just send her home packin’ with healing to do and two babies to care for. My sister lives in Europe; had a C-section and stayed in the hospital for 5 days. They’re saying AJ will stay for at least another 3. They’re so blessed that the babies are healthy and Mom is doing fine. Congrats to the whole family!

    I’m so happy for them. Although we really should keep them in our prayers. Recovering from a C-Section AND caring for newborn twins is no picnic. I just got finished recovering from my third C-Section and it was a rough first couple of weeks. I had lots of help and I’m sure she’ll have lots of help as well, but still…
    Does anyone know if she nursed Shiloh? I wonder if she’ll nurse the twins for any length of time. I can’t wait to see the pictures.

    Victoria, thanks so much for the explanation on which grandfather it was. Victoria, I know it is a pain when our remarks go into moderation, I believe if we were having a contest, Ligaya would probably win. Please keep on posting here at Pittwatch. Sherry does a great job and she gets to them as quick as possible. Like hearing from you so please hang in there.

    Ayla, belated Happy Birthday, that is mine also. I also wanted to tell you that I love your name. I have The Clan of the Cave Bear series, and I believe it my memory serves me correctly Ayla is the main character. In fact it has been about 5+ years since the author has put out a current book. Anyway, love your name. Hope all is well with the Jolie-Pitts today. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Madd, Pax, Zee and Shiloh met their new brother and sister.

    The children probably are anxious to see their new brother & sister. I wonder if Brad’s parents are already in France?
    Belated Happy Birthday Ayla. I agree with Mary Ann, your name is beautiful.
    God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

    Thank you Mary Ann for your nice comment!! Even though we don´t really know each other at all in the real world, it is funny how we are old acquaintances here in this blog! Sometimes I wonder what we all look like. I think one has a certain image of the other person in one´s head, and most of the time one would be totally wrong, I suppose!! :)

    I will definitely keep posting, but I think I am winning the contest! I AM Queen of Moderation, because 100 % of my comments go into moderation. I don´t think I had one comment in the past few weeks that didn´t go into moderation. I could probably post an empty comment, and it would still land there!! Moderation does not like me!! ;)

    [...] Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been keeping a low profile since the birth of their babies, Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. Also, as we all know, Brad has started to threaten legal action [...]
