Woot! It’s official! Angelina Jolie did, in fact, give birth to her twin babies on Saturday July 12 in Nice, France just like In Touch Weekly reported. Despite the fact that they incorrectly reported that Angelina gave birth to twin girls, they were the first media outlet to report that she had given birth on July 12. US Weekly quickly “confirmed” that In Touch was correct in reporting the birth but then not only recanted on their “confirmation” as soon as Extra TV reported the new was false but they removed their original report from their website (they’ve since put the news back on their site now that the news has been officially confirmed). The scoop and kudos belongs to In Touch alone. Early this morning in Nice, France, Angelina Jolie‘s doctor gave a press conference with the official news of the twins’ birth:

The Brangelina twins are here: Angelina Jolie has given birth to a girl and a boy. The obstetrician who delivered the twins, Dr. Michel Sussmann, told The Associated Press that the actress, the babies and Jolie’s partner, actor Brad Pitt, “are doing marvelously well.” Sussmann said Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Cesarian section on Saturday night. He told the AP on Sunday morning that the boy weighed 5.03 pounds and the girl 5 pounds. Pitt was there during the operation, said the doctor, who delivered the twins at the seaside Lenval hospital in Nice in southern France. “Everything is going well,” said Sussmann. “The mother, the babies, the father are doing marvelously well.” He said the Cesarian was moved forward from its originally planned date “for medical reasons” so that the babies could be born “in the best conditions.” Sussman did not give details. He said Jolie is expected to stay in the hospital for a few more days.

Amazing, amazing news! Brangelina‘s twins, Vivienne and Knox, were born on MY BIRTHDAY :) That’s pretty cool, I think. I was in the midst of enjoying my birthday celebration a few hours ago when I got word that the twins’ birth was officially announced. I thought it would be kinda cool to share my birthday with the famed golden children … and I was right :) Welcome to the world, twins … we’ve been expecting you!!!

It occurred to me — Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are now the parents of 6 children: 3 girls, 3 boys, 3 adopted children and 3 biological children. Could the Brangelina Bunch be any more perfect?
