Angelina Jolie gives birth to twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline

The Brangelina twins have arrived!

The obstetrician who delivered the twins, Dr. Michel Sussmann, told  the Associated Press that Angelina Jolie, the babies and their father, Brad Pitt, "are doing marvelously well."

But what would an Angelina birth be without controversy and erroneous reports?

First InTouch reported Saturday afternoon that sources at La Fondation Lenval Hospital in Nice, France, said Jolie had given birth to twin girls. They said Angie delivered by cesarean on Saturday at 6 p.m. and had two girls, one born at 6:45, the other at 7.

But -- and it was a pretty big but -- Extra reported that the twins had not been born. They quoted hospital spokeswoman Nadine Bauer as saying that the InTouch report was "false information."

The spokeswoman insisted that journalists would not be notified "within minutes after the birth" and that the only way they would be told was by a press release posted on the hospital website.

Then Us Weekly said that French newspaper Nice-Matin had reported that Jolie had delivered a boy named Knox Leon and a girl named Vivienne Marcheline, according to the AFP. They said Jolie gave birth shortly before 8 p.m. via cesarean section.

According to US, each twin weighed about 5 pounds. Reps for Jolie, Pitt and the hospital did not confirm the birth of the boy and girl. But the doctor has.

So, finally, congrats to the expanding Jolie-Pitt nation.
