NICE, France — Brad Pitt was emotional but calm; Angelina Jolie laughed and chatted. The world’s most famous celebrity couple were joined in emotion during the birth of their twins — a boy and a girl.
Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline were born one minute apart Saturday evening in a seaside hospital on the French Riviera.
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 cesarean section to deliver Knox, weighing slightly more than 5 pounds, and Vivienne, who weighed 5 pounds.
“The mother, the babies, the father are doing marvelously well,” Sussmann said.
The twins’ official photos will be worth between $15 million and $20 million, said Darryn Lyons, owner of Big Pictures, a photo agency in London.
