A twin boy and girl for Ange and Brad
Monday 14 July 2008
Congratulations! Brangelina have finally given birth to a twin boy and girl last night in Nice, south France – and they don’t disappoint us in the ‘wacky celebrity baby names’ stakes.
The poor little boy has been named Knox Leon, and naming experts have suggested that Ange and Brad believe the letter X to be lucky, seeing as they have a bit of an X-theme going on there for their male descendants – Maddox, Pax… Maybe not so lucky for Knox though, eh?
His baby sister’s name is a rather sweet tribute to Angelina’s late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died last year of cancer: Vivienne Marcheline.
The twins were delivered prematurely by Caesarean due to “medical reasons” but now mother and babies are doing well.
Brad and Ange are said to be “delighted” and have already introduced the new members of the Pitt-Jolie clan to their other children. And apparently Brad is quite the doting dad:
“Everything is marvellous. Brad Pitt was at the birth. He was very moved, and very happy of course.
“The operation went perfectly. Angelina is in good spirits too.” said Gynaecologist Michael Sussmann last night.
Best wishes from Closer!
