Vivienne Marcheline & Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt Are Born
Woot! It’s official! Angelina Jolie did, in fact, give birth to her twin babies on Saturday July 12 in Nice, France just like In Touch Weekly reported. Despite the fact that they incorrectly reported that Angelina gave birth to twin girls, they were the first media outlet to report that she had given birth on July 12. US Weekly quickly “confirmed” that In Touch was correct in reporting the birth but then not only recanted on their “confirmation” as soon as Extra TV reported the new was false but they removed their original report from their website (they’ve since put the news back on their site now that the news has been officially confirmed). The scoop and kudos belongs to In Touch alone. Early this morning in Nice, France, Angelina Jolie’s doctor gave a press conference with the official news of the twins’ birth:
The Brangelina twins are here: Angelina Jolie has given birth to a girl and a boy. The obstetrician who delivered the twins, Dr. Michel Sussmann, told The Associated Press that the actress, the babies and Jolie’s partner, actor Brad Pitt, “are doing marvelously well.” Sussmann said Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Cesarian section on Saturday night. He told the AP on Sunday morning that the boy weighed 5.03 pounds and the girl 5 pounds. Pitt was there during the operation, said the doctor, who delivered the twins at the seaside Lenval hospital in Nice in southern France. “Everything is going well,” said Sussmann. “The mother, the babies, the father are doing marvelously well.” He said the Cesarian was moved forward from its originally planned date “for medical reasons” so that the babies could be born “in the best conditions.” Sussman did not give details. He said Jolie is expected to stay in the hospital for a few more days.
Amazing, amazing news! Brangelina’s twins, Vivienne and Knox, were born on MY BIRTHDAY :) That’s pretty cool, I think. I was in the midst of enjoying my birthday celebration a few hours ago when I got word that the twins’ birth was officially announced. I thought it would be kinda cool to share my birthday with the famed golden children … and I was right :) Welcome to the world, twins … we’ve been expecting you!!!
It occurred to me — Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are now the parents of 6 children: 3 girls, 3 boys, 3 adopted children and 3 biological children. Could the Brangelina Bunch be any more perfect?

3 boys and 3 girls - it’s the Brangey Bunch!
July 13th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Knox? Are you kidding..? Let’s see if she “doesn’t feel sorry” for the twins because they haven’t suffered like the adopted children too.
July 13th, 2008 at 10:18 am
I absoulutely love the origin of Vivienne’s middle name, what a wonderful tribute to Angies late mother :) I think for early twins, 5lbs a piece is a really awesome weight!! :) I can understand her moving it up, I had to have my own CSection moved up for both my babies as well. CONGRATS ANGIE & BRAD!!!!!!! :)

my birthday as well. The girls name is beautiful. These kids are going to be a ridiculous bunch. I grew up the oldest of 4 and I thought that was a handful…
July 13th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Shiloh shares the same birthday with me! :)
July 13th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Aw. Vivienne is the name we picked if our son turned out to be a girl … it’s pretty, but fairly uncommon (especially with that spelling; Vivian is more common). But Knox wasn’t our boy’s name, at least!
And good for them if they’re giving the proceeds of the first pix to charity …
July 13th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
I was thinking the same thing. They are like the damned Brady Bunch, but even more perfect!!!
July 13th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Brangey Bunch…LOVE IT! HAHA!
