Angelina Jolie gives birth to boy and girl in France

Actress Angelina Jolie has given birth to twins by Caesarean section at a hospital in France.

Her doctor Michel Sussmann confirmed a report in the local Nice Matin newspaper she had a health boy and girl at Lenval Hospital in Nice on Saturday evening.

He told The Associated Press this morning that mother, the babies and Jolie's partner Brad Pitt were 'doing marvelously well'.
Jolie, 33, and Pitt, 44, already have one biological daughter together - Shiloh Nouvel Jolie - who was born in Namibia in 2006.

They also have three adopted children, Cambodian Maddox, six; Ethiopian Zahara Marley, three; and Vietnamese Pax Thien, four.
The Daily Mail reported this month, Jolie was getting increasingly irritable during her pregnancy and was keen for the twins to be born.

At the end of last month, it was rumoured she had given birth to two girls named Isla Marcheline and Amelie Jane Jolie-Pitt in France. Her PR denied these reports.
