You’re likely flipping through the pages of your just-purchased edition of People magazine featuring photos of three-week old Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt.
While you’re going ga-ga over the snaps, here are some more highlights from the overjoyed parents.
– “We made a decision to have a big family and support each other to make it work.”
How are the rest of the siblings handling the latest additions to the family?
– “Shiloh calls them her babies. She and Z pick out their clothes and help change and hold them,” Jolie tells People.
- “It’s sweet–they are little mommies,” Pitt adds, “This is Mad’s fourth/fifth time becoming an older bro. He’s asking us when we can have more.”
How Mommy and Daddy reacted when they found out they were having twins:
- “We were in shock and could not stop laughing.” She also sets the record straight on tabloid reports that the twins were conceived via IVF. “If they had been conceived through IVF, we would have been happy to discuss it,” says Jolie. “But we have been fortunate never to have had fertility problems.”
Brangelina on the birth:
- When he first saw Knox, and Vivienne a minute later, Pitt felt “An awe words fail to describe.”
- “I knew they would be premature, so when I saw they were big and screaming with healthy lungs, I was at peace,” Jolie says.
More details on the babies:
“Viv is proving to resemble Ange in spirit, attitude and physicality,” says Pitt. “And Knox, a bit of me.” Pitt also shares how they decided on the twins’ names: “The name Vivienne came to us early, as if she named herself–she has always been Viv. And Marcheline is to honor Angie’s mother. Knox came soon after. It is a family name, my grandfather’s. Léon is a classic French name.” Jolie explains how her late mother, Marcheline, inspires her as a mom. “My mom loved being a mom and made sure her children knew every day how much joy we brought to her. I hope to give that to my kids.”

Check out Hollywood’s latest and most adorable babies:
Knox Leon and
Vivienne Marcheline Jolie Pitt.
People magazine in partnership with Hello (foreign rights) paid a whopping $14 million for the first photos of the cute duo.
The entire amount is expected to go to a charity designated by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
The gorgeous parents welcomed their equally gorgeous twins on July 12 at Lenval hospital in Nice, France. The two new bundles of joy pushed up the count of the Jolie-Pitt brood to half a dozen.
Says Angie: “It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time.” Adds Brad: “[It's] still a cuckoo’s nest.”
As for whether the parents of six have any extra help? “[Shiloh] and Z pick out [the twins'] clothes and help change and hold them,” says Jolie. “It’s sweet – they are little mommies.”
Doting dad Brad, meanwhile, confides: “Viv is proving to resemble Ange in spirit, attitude and physicality… And Knox, he’s a bit of me.”
Alright….gush away.

It’s all about the Brangelina baby buzz today!
Hours after cutting the umbilical cords of his newborn twins Saturday night, Brad Pitt told the mayor of Nice: “I’m the happiest father ever.” It was a phrase he kept repeating, according to what Mayor Christian Estrosi – who visited Pitt and Angelina Jolie in their hospital room – told the local newspaper Nice-Matin. Estrosi held up the birth certificates of baby Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline as ultimate proof to the media that the twins had arrived.
Meanwhile, Angie’s doctor, Dr. Michael Sussmann, who told the BBC there was “added pressure” in delivering the famous babies, visited Angelina in the hospital this morning and told People that mom, Knox and Vivienne are “all very well, very well. Everything is okay.”
If you listen carefully, you can hear the entire world breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Taking celebrity fandom to new extremes, check out a close up of the birth certificate of
Angelina Jolie ’s twins,
Vivienne Marcheline and
Knox Leon who are currently restnig at the Lenval Hospital in Nice, France.
The obstetrician who delivered the twins, Dr. Michel Sussmann, told The Associated Press that the actress and her partner Brad Pitt “were talking, they were together” during the birth of their twins. “It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy.”
As for who cut the cord? Brad the dad, of course! “He was perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional,” said the kind doctor.
No word on when the newborns will leave the hospital. “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.”
And now we await the pics….
