They are six

It’s official and it’s splendid news! Angelina Jolie has given birth to twins – a boy and a girl, Saturday night, the French newspaper Nice-Matin first reported. Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline [named after Jolie’s deceased mother] were born via C-section at the Lenval Hospital on the French Riviera. Knox weighed 5.03 pounds and Vivienne weighed 5 pounds, Dr. Michael Sussmann said to the AP:

Saturday was a great day for all. The babies are good, as is Angelina.”

According to the reports, the Cesarean section was moved up from its scheduled date “for medical reasons”” so the babies would be born “in the best conditions.” “Everything is normal. Everything is going well.” Sussmann said.

Brad Pitt was very supportive during the delivery. He was there all the time, holding Angie by the hand. According to Dr. Sussmann, the couple “were talking [during the delivery], they were together.”

It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy,” the doc added, saying it was Brad to cut the babies’ umbilical cords. “He was my assistant!” Sussmann joked, “He was perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional.”

So far, the babies and mother are perfectly fine and will remain in hospital for a few more days. “She [Jolie] 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,” Mr. Sussmann added during the news conference Sunday.

Meanwhile, Angelina and her newborn twins start receiving their first visitors. Angelina’s brother James Haven visited his sister on Sunday morning. Jolie’s dad, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, hasn’t yet visited his daughter and his newly born grandchildren but said he was “over the moon”. “It’s magnificent,” he told The Insider. “I’m very excited. If I were called today, I’d be there.”

Though being just about 2 days old, the babies are here officially. On Sunday, Mayor Christian Estrosi of Nice, presented one of the birth certificates of Brangelina’s twins on the steps of Nice’s Fondation Lenval hospital, where son Knox Leon and daughter Vivienne Marcheline were born.

The typed certificate revealed that Knox was born at 6:27 p.m. on July 12. Sister Vivienne came within a minute of that time, Dr. Michel Sussmann told PEOPLE. The document also showed the Mayor’s signature, as well as Pitt’s initials, the letters WBP representing his full name, William Bradley Pitt.

”On behalf of the inhabitants of Nice, I congratulate the happy parents, the most famous couple of the world who have chosen our city for this happy event.” Estrosi said. “I would also like to congratulate the four brothers and sisters of the newborns,” he added. Estrosi told he’d be honored if Pitt and Jolie allowed their twins to be French citizens.

This is not the last good news for the babies and the whole family. According to the latest reports, Knox and Vivienne stand all chances to become world’s richest babies. Publicist Max Clifford estimated that the pictures could fetch about $20 million, “which would make it the biggest baby deal ever.” The proceeds are to go to charity, according to the source.

The twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline are the 5th and 6th kids in the Jolie-Pitt family, joining Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2.

Well, congrats to the big happy family. Remember, once Jolie said they wanted to have about 13-14 children. Well, these guys are trying really hard! Keep it up!
