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!

    Have to say I’m sorry I dished on the little ones name — never heard the name KNOX before, but who am I to complain. I’m just happy for the Jolie-Pitts to have had twins with good baby weight and they are healthy. CONGRADS!!!!

    So happy to find pittwatch.com, I am an ultimate Brangelina fan and so much that I waited and watched for Shiloh’s birth… excited about them having twins! Surely all the older siblings are very happy as well. Congratulations to the Jolie-Pitt family. Best of health to all of them.

    So excited! And now they have 3 of each. They probably took them because one twin may have been what they call a “vampire twin” just like my daughter-in-law experienced. The term means that one twin is taking more nourishment than the other, which can cause weight loss in one twin. They are an excellent weight for multiples as well. I heard that Knox is Brad’s paw paws name and Marcheline is, of course, Angie’s Mom’s name. I bet Vivienne and Leon have some significance too. I’m over the moon now that they are here and safe, those precious babies.

    How wonderful. I have been online trying to find as much info as possible. I can’t wait to see the pics. I hope they wait awhile before taking the photo. Shi changed so much after People did the earlier pics. I wanted it to be a boy/girl. 3 each. I hope they will have the chance to relax and enjoy their new additions. I wonder if Brad’s parents are there yet. They came right away for Shi’s birth. The other children must be so excited; especially Mad. Since he is old enough to understand what is happening. Well the media frinze will begin next week no doubt. I hope People get the pics. I not a big fan of OK.
    Much happiness to the “Jolie-Pitt Bunch”

    I slept a mere 4 hours…I’m still so excited. Yes, they’re here and I am ready for the “awesomeness”! Their names are unusual alright and KnoxLeon has already grown on me. I’ll call him Leo! Vivienne sounds sophisticated, worldly and regal. What a great day for all of us! A boy and a girl…that is just so fabulous. Can this family be any more perfect??

    Repeating my comment in the previous entry:

    Happy birthday to Mary Ann and welcome back to PinkyJP.

    After all the false alarms etc…it’s so great to know that the twins are officially here. I’m very glad to hear that Angie and the babies are doing well. I hope she’ll be able to rest well, and that the babies gets healthier and healthier as the days go by and before they head back home to Miraval.

    It sure is a great weekend for us JP fans!

    Looks like you won the lottery! Happy belated birthday, Mary Ann! LOL, Ok, Gena!

    Felicitaciones!, Mummy, Daddy & all 6 of the little Jolie-Pitt kiddies! Someone said Knox was one of the grandfathers’ names, I wonder if Vivienne is one of the grandmothers’ names. I’m sure we’ll find out the significance of twins’ names soon.

    Happy dance, happy dance!!!!!!

    Wow a boy and a girl – the perfect addition to their family!!!! What a blessed life we are witnessing! Thanks to all fans for holding a great safe place for JP family. Interesting to me that both babies received grandparents names…I wonder if Knox will be referred to as “Leon” being the little Leo Boy?
