Angelina Jolie Gives Birth to Twins 😳
Sunday July 13, 2008
Angelina Jolie has given birth to twins – a boy named Knox Leon and a girl named Vivienne Marcheline, her doctor has confirmed to Us.
"Saturday was a great day for all," Dr. Michael Sussman.
"The babies are good, as is Angelina."
Knox weighed 5.03 pounds and Vivienne weighed 5 pounds, Sussmann adds.
And Jolie has already started to receive visitors. "Angelina's brother [James Haven] has been here this morning," a hospital insider tells us.
"There is a buzz at the clinic. The babies are resting, as is Jolie. They haven't [been] crying yet, so it just feels very peaceful."
Jolie, 33, gave birth via a Cesarian section at the Lenval Hospital on the French Riviera on Saturday night, the French newspaper Nice-Matin first reported.
The Cesarian section was moved up from its scheduled date "for medical reasons" so the babies would be born "in the best conditions," Sussmann explained.
Knox weighed 5.03 pounds and Vivienne weighed 5 pounds, Sussmann said to the AP.
Reps for Jolie and Pitt did not confirm the report.
Earlier in the day, a rep for the hospital denied an online rumor that Jolie gave birth.
Last week, Sussmann held a press conference to let reporters know the twins were due "in the weeks to come.
"Everything is normal," Sussmann said. "Everything is going well."
Pitt was photographed on Tuesday at the hospital. He was there with son Pax, 4.
Jolie previously received visits from Maddox, 6, as well as daughters Shiloh, 2, and Zahara, 3.
The actress checked into the hospital at the end of June via helicopter, Nice-Matin reported at the time.
Jolie is staying on the hospital's fifth floor which features an "unobstructed view" over the Bay of Angels, the paper reported. She reserved four rooms on the maternity ward, with a bodyguard keeping watch, according to the report.
