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!

    Mary Ann belated happy birthday. The twins are born a day before my youngest g-son’s birthday. That will make me remember the twins birthday much easier. I really love their names. God bless

    OMG, my husband just called me since I haven’t had time on the computer this weekend. Thank you, thank you Sherry. I was praying for a boy and a girl. Now they are really 3 boys, 3 girls, the Jolie-Pitt bunch. I love their names. One funny thing though, my belly pig’s name when I was in the Philippines was Vivian not Vivienne. Now I could hardly wait to see the twins on the cover of People. JOy!Joy!Joy!

    I’m so happy for the Jolie-Pitt’s. Finally, the twins are here.I really like their names & wow a boy & a girl, Brad must be feeling he is in cloud nine. I can’t wait for him to call for a conference & see how his face lights up with excitement & happiness. Angie can’t make it more perfect to give Brad another boy & a girl. Now, I can’t wait to see their pictures.
    Gena, I will make a donation to Angie & Brad’s charity not a dollar but I will make it $10.00 instead.
    Let’s celebrate. God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

    Congrats to the Brad and Angie on the birth of the children. I too, am quite excited for them and the entire family. I was checking out the birth certificate, can some explain why it was written Angelina Jolie, née? I mean née usually means maiden name. Is there more news waiting to be announced? Just wondering…….

    hrhkat,

    Who are you to call Africa, “shit”. Their problems are far more deep then a simple 4 days work. Watch your mouth, and think before you write.

    Oprah who? Ummm. The woman who placed a girl’s school in Africa. Do some reading.

    Thanks.

    Thank you again everyone for your good wishes. I have been reading all the comments and we are all so excited. Sherry, when you want to get another discussion thread going, maybe we could try to figure out why this couple is so popular through out the world. My goodness we have commenters from all over.
    Lette, thanks for asking about how to pronounce Vivienne’s name I am also wondering. Also, one of our other commenters noticed that each of the boys second names end in the letter “n”. Also, I am dying to know if the grandfather with the middle name of Knox is the grandfather that told Brad he didn’t like his movie. I think that is so funny, us old people some how some way always put our foot in our mouths. My kids just look at me some times and just shake their heads or roll their eyes. Well all in all this has been such an exciting day. If we are all this excited can you image how Brad, Angie and the children must feel. So what initials do we come up with now since BAMPZS now has a KV to be added. I will leave that up to all of you who have much sharper minds than mine.

    more of the doctors stmnt has been made public. He said Brad was emotional but calm and called him his assistant. (cute) Said Angelina was laughing and talking to Brad durring the birth. The Mayor has delivered the birth certs and said the father (brad) is very very happy

    Congratulations! I’m so happy for them. What a neat family. I wish them all the best.

    My comment is under moderation. I explained where the name Knox comes from (second name of Brad´s maternal grandfather).

    Sherry, please get me out of moderation! E.g. this info about the background of Knox´s name – it gets mentioned again and again, but by the time my comment gets out of moderation, it is lost somewhere in the top of all the comments, and no-one reads it anymore. It´s not the first time it´s happened, and it is so frustrating. This is supposed to be a fan site, and we´re all discussing and sharing information, but if your information gets lost all the time, there´s no use posting anymore.

    Can you please lift this automatic moderation that happens to my comments? You said maybe my IP address is similar to some spammer´s address.
