Angelina Jolie has given birth to twins

Monday, 14 July 2008

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has given birth to twins - a boy called Knox Leon and girl called Vivienne Marcheline - and the first photos of the tots have been sold for $15 million.Jolie's obstetrician, Dr. Michel Sussmann, said the 44-year-old Pitt was at Jolie's side during the delivery, looking on as the doctor performed a Caesarean section to deliver Knox, weighing in at 2.28 kilograms (5.03 pounds) and Vivienne, who weighed 2.27 kilogram (5 pounds).

For now, mother, father and newborns are resting out of the public eye on the fifth floor of the Lenval hospital(in the Riviera city in the south of France), behind blue mirrored windows that provide sweeping views of Nice's sun-drenched beaches, but that are specially treated to deflect the prying lenses of papara

The celebrity couple, known in the media as "Brangelina", moved into a 17th century villa in Provence, France, earlier this year, with paparazzi descending on the village of Correns (60 miles [100 kilometers] from Nice) when news of their arrival leaked out.

Jolie, star of current hit movie Wanted, and Pitt, of Ocean's Eleven fame, went public with their relationship after acting together in the 2005 film Mr & Mrs Smith.
