For those of you who might wish to read the Pitt-Jolie-certified announcement of the birth of their boy-girl twins, this is the write-thru from the newspaper that the couple selected for the task – Nice’s Nice Matin.
For the Nice Matin, Jean-François Roubaud writes in part:
“The most celebrated babies in the world were born just before 8pm last night at the Santa Maria Clinic of the Lenval Foundation Hospital. Angelina Jolie, 33-years-old, has brought twins into the world: Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt, a small boy at 2.27 kilos [about five pounds] and Vivienne Marcheline, also a petit 2.28 kilos. The two were worth over $11 million even before they let out their first cry: the exclusive first-ever photo of the extended Pitt family – now six children – has been sold by the couple to an American magazine to benefit a humanitarian cause.”

France – Nice Matin – Original Article (French)
The most celebrated infants in the world were born just before 8pm last night at the Santa Maria Clinic of the Lenval Foundation Hospital. Angelina Jolie, 33-years-old, has brought twins into the world: Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt, a small boy at 2.27 kilos [about five pounds] and Vivienne Marcheline, also a petit 2.28 kilos. The two were worth over $11 million even before they let out their first cry: the exclusive first-ever photo of the extended Pitt family – now six children – has been sold by the couple to an American magazine to benefit a humanitarian cause.
It was Angelina Jolie’s doctor in Nice who confirmed this information to our newspaper last night: “Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are doing very well in Nice. And that’s why they made a point of reserving for Nicites [the people of Nice] and Nice – through Nice-Matin – the announcement of their happiness,” said Dr. Michel Sussmann.
The media pressure had subsided around the Nice clinic over recent days. Tired of craning their necks in vain, the paparazzi had taken a few days off and Angelina and her Nice gynecologist, Dr. Michel Sussmann, off-footed everyone. The Caesarean section that had long been scheduled was brought forward a few days. Born shortly before 8pm July 12, the boy-girl twins of Angelina and Brad Pitt are doing well, just as their global-star mother.
