There are unconfirmed reports flying all over the Internet today that Angelina Jolie gave birth to her and Brad Pitt’s twin babies today at the Lenval hospital in Nice. So far the hospital has claimed it to be untrue and that the news will be posted on their website when it happens. Also, no one in the Brad and Angelina circle have confirmed the reports.
Keep in mind, that In Touch is one of the sources for this news and we all know how much of a tabloid magazine they are. It’s an exciting time, waiting for the Jolie-Pitt twins, so of course everyone wants to be the first to announce it. However, I believe it will be through People and perhaps a large news source like CNN that will have the real story when it happens.
A French news source is also reporting that they’ve been born and are stating it’s one boy and one girl, born via C-section. They also claim that the twins were named Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. However, I don’t know the French papers or magazines so I have no idea what’s considered tabloid and what’s considered a decent source for news.
Either way, Nadine Bauer, the spokesperson for the hospital told Extra that “it is wrong information”.
I’m sure the babies are coming very soon but we’ll have to wait for some solid sources and confirmations instead of the anonymous “sources” these people always quote. It’s sure getting exciting though, isn’t it?!

Well, it does more more sounds to be true. But I still will wait for their official confirmation. :) That being said, if the babies are here, then congrats to Brad and Angie and the family.

I guess the AP piece has confirmed that the Nice-Matin is not a gossip rag. They had all the info accurate yesterday.

I think it’s funny how all the news sources are scrambling to get up articles on this as quick as possible. Look at this paragraph from NY Daily News:
“The twins’ birth would bring Jolie and Pitt’s growing brood now stands at six. The celebrity couple has three adopted children, Maddox, 6; Pax, 4;, and Zahara, 3, as well as a biological daughter, 23-month-old Shiloh.”
You can tell that they’ve pre-written it months ago (when Shi was still 23 months old) and hurriedly updated it (their first sentence says that the twins “would bring” the brood to six, and also that the brood “now stands” at six in the same sentence). LOL. This is big news for the early hours of the morning! It’s nearly 5pm here, but I guess it’s middle of the night for the US.

Brad Pitt was at Angelina Jolie’s side as she gave birth to a son and daughter Saturday at the Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France, PEOPLE has confirmed.
“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.”
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.
The twins are the fifth and sixth children for Jolie, 33, and partner Brad Pitt, 44, who are already parents to Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2.
“The mother and father are very, very happy,” Sussmann told PEOPLE.
The doctor told the Associated Press that the Cesarean was moved forward “for medical reasons” so that the babies could be born “in the best conditions.” He also said Jolie is expected to stay in the hospital for a few days.
On July 1, Jolie checked in to the Fondation Lenval hospital to await the births. The family has been living in the south of France since this spring.
Jolie recently told Entertainment Weekly that she was surprised – but not daunted – when she learned she was having twins. “It did shock us, and we jumped to six [children] quickly,” she said. “But we like a challenge.”

Congrats Angelina and Brad!!! People magazine is reporting the births of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. The early reports said Angie had given birth to twin girls. I think this is why the Hospital spokeswoman Nadine was quoted as saying, “wrong information”. She never flatly said that Angie “hadn’t” given birth. Its 2:20am and I couldn’t sleep–I’m glad I opened my laptop. I’m so very thankful that mother and children are doing well.
Cheers all!

At last the wait is over !! i wondered if they would give another boy a name with an x in it, and bingo we have Knox.. Vivienne is a great girls name too…the babies are tiny and i hope they wait a little while before taking pictures of them for the worlds press..but i can’t wait to see these little ones grow and develope over the years..can you imagine how excited the other kids are going to be when the babies come home..shiloh is going to think they are her own personal baby dolls and Z will want to help with everything…c-section is a very big operation and Angie will take a while to heal and feel better so lets all send good thoughts and prayers in her direction and hope that she and brad will enjoy this wonderful time in their lives without too much pressure from the media.
