Jolie-Pitt Twins Delivered by C-Section
One of, if not the most anticipated celebrity birth of the year has finally happened. Thirty-three year old actress Angelina Jolie gave birth on Saturday night, July 12, to boy and girl twins. The babies join older siblings, Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh.
The babies were delivered by Caesarian section in a French hospital by her obstetrician, Dr. Michael Sussman. The boy, Knox Leon weighed 5.03 pounds and his sister, Vivienne Marcheline, weighed 5 pounds. A report from Dr. Sussman said that the delivery was brought forward to ensure the safety of the babies; no reason was given as to why. He said however that, ??the mother, the babies, and the father were doing marvelously well.? Proud papa, Pitt was in the delivery room the entire time and remained ?perfectly calm? according to Dr. Sussman.
The baby girl was named after Jolie?s late mother, Marcheline Bertrand. The Jolie-Pitt family had moved to France a few weeks ago to await the birth of the babies. Jolie was admitted to hospital last week in anticipation of the birth.
Like most celebrity parents these days, Jolie and Pitt have sold the rights to the first pictures for millions to a yet un-named US publication. The money received for the pictures will be donated to charity.
Congrats to the entire Jolie-Pitt clan.
