As we all have heard by now, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie welcomed their twins on Saturday. Knox and Vivienne are the fifth and sixth children for Jolie, 33, and Pitt, 44, who are already parents to Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2.
Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Cesarean section on Saturday night. Knox weighed 5.03 lbs, and Vivienne 5 lbs.
Dr. Michel Sussmann told reporters outside Fondation Lenval Hospital in Nice, France, where twins:
“It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy.” He also told the Associated Press that the Cesarean was moved forward “for medical reasons” so that the babies could be born “in the best conditions.” And added Jolie is expected to stay in the hospital for a few days.
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.
Asked whether the birth had been a textbook delivery, Sussmann replied, “absolutely no problems.”
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.”
He added: “The babies are fine. The babies are with the mother and father and they are fine.”
Congrats to the proud parents!!
