Family at Chateau Miraval, France
Welcome a son and daughter to the world
Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins on Saturday night with partner Brad Pitt by her side. The new additions to the Jolie-Pitt family are daughter Vivienne Marcheline, who weighed 5lbs, and son Knox Leon, at 5.03lbs.
The Tomb Raider star gave birth by Caesarean section at the Lenval hospital in Nice, where she has been staying since the beginning of the month. Mum and babies are doing “marvellously well”, says her doctor, Michel Sussmann. “Angelina is in very good spirits,” he added. “Brad Pitt was by her side and all was well.”
Reports had speculated that Angelina would give birth on Tuesday but, says Dr Sussmann, the procedure was moved forward for medical reasons so the twins could be born in “the best conditions”.

Angelina ‘resting’ in French hospital ahead of twins’ birth
Angelina Jolie has checked into a hospital in the South of France where she is to have the twins she’s expecting with Brad Pitt.
A spokesman for Nice’s Lenval clinic said the über-mum – who already has three adopted children and one biological daughter with the actor – would almost certainly stay there until the arrival of her babies.
“Ms Jolie came to the hospital last night as part of a preplanned rest period before she gives birth,” said Nadine Bauer. “The visit has been planned for a long time, there are no complications. She’s just resting.”
The new additions to the Jolie-Pitt family are expected to be delivered by French doctor Michele Sussmann and American gynaecologist Jason Rothbart, who is due to fly to Europe later this week.
With interest in the new arrivals high a British magazine is even claiming to know the names of the babies. They are apparently to be called Isla Marcheline and Amelie Jane – Marcheline is after Angelina’s late mother, while the other middle name is in honour of Brad’s mum.
