The Birth of Angelina & Brad Pitts Twins

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are now proud parents to a baby boy, Knox Leon and girl, Vivienne Marcheline. They were delivered by Cesarean section on Saturday night at 6:27 p.m and 6:28 p.m and both weighed about 5 lbs (2.27 kgs). They were delivered at the Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France, as told by PEOPLE magazine.

"The babies are doing well. The operation went just perfectly," Dr. Michel Sussmann. "Angelina is in very good spirits. Brad Pitt was at her side. He was there and all was well." Now isn't she one lucky lady, she not only has she a HOT husband but he was also there with her! (she can make the cake and eat it too, lol)

During the labor and delivery, the couple "were talking, they were together," Dr. Michel Sussmann told reporters. "It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy. Pitt never left Jolie's side - "he was my assistant!" Sussmann said jokingly - and even cut the babies' umbilical cords. "He was ... perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional," said Sussmann.

When will Jolie and the babies leave the hospital? "I don't know," he said. "She will stay for a few days. You know, in Europe it isn't like in the United States, where the patients go home after three days. They will stay a bit longer until everything is okay."  

The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, centre, holds the birth certificates (seen in the pic) of one of Angelina Jolie's twins, Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt, as he and Dr Michel Sussmann, Jolie's obstetrician, left, pose for the media, at the Lenval Hospital in Nice, southern France. Now this is what l call being a known celebrity, when the birth certficate of your child is shown to the world!

Here is a video about the news of the birth and the scene outside the hospital.

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.

Good-luck to the happy family!
