The Jolie-Pitt Twins
Most people have heard by now — Angelina Jolie has just given birth to twins over the weekend. The new parents six times over, Brad and Angelina, have named them after family members.
The baby boy is Knox Leon, named after Brad’s father while the baby girl is Vivienne Marcheline, named after Jolie’s deceased mother (Marcheline), who the actress and her family lost recently to cancer.
Knox Leon is slightly heavier than his twin sister at 2.28 kg; Marcheline is 2.27 kg.
The twins were born in a heavily guarded private hospital in Nice, France under C-Section the couple has planned for ahead of time.
The couple’s doctor Michel Sussmann says, “The parents and the babies are in excellent health. Everything is fine.They were very happy”. Brad was in the room the whole time, assisting with the birth.
After the birth, the mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, signed the twins’ birth certificate at the hospital (as photographed) and talked to the press hovering the vicinity. “I congratulate the happy parents, the most famous couple in the world, who have chosen our city for this happy event … The newborns are, history will not forget it, real Nicois, citizens of Nice.”
The couple’s other kids Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh have all been flown to France and are staying at a villa since June.
There is no doubt these are the newest celebrities born today. Even before they came to the world, their images are already worth millions of dollars. News reports say that the couple have sold the rights to the twins’ first photograph to a US publication still unnamed for $11 Million. But the couple intends to donate the proceeds of this to charity.
