Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt make a great team in the delivery room!

During the birth of their twins, the couple "were talking, they were together," Jolie's doctor, Michel Sussmann said Sunday afternoon in a press conference on the steps of the Lenval Hospital on the French Riviera.

"It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy," said Sussmann who delivered the babies via Cesarian section Saturday night at the Lenval Hospital.

When it came time to cut the babies' umbilical cords, Pitt was up to the task. "He was my assistant!" Sussmann joked.

"He was perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional."

As for when the newborns will leave the hospital, "I don't know," the Sussmann said. "She will stay for a few days. You know, in Europe it isn't like in the United States, where the patients go home after three days. They will stay a bit longer until everything is okay."

Sussman continued, "the babies are fine. The babies are with the mother and father and they are fine."

Jolie, 33, gave birth via a Cesarian section at the Lenval Hospital on the French Riviera on Saturday night, the French newspaper Nice-Matin first reported.

"Saturday was a great day for all," Dr. Michael Sussman told Usmagazine.com. "The babies are good, as is Angelina."

Knox weighed 5.03 pounds and Vivienne weighed 5 pounds, Sussmann adds.

Reps for Jolie and Pitt did not confirm the report.

Earlier in the day, a rep for the hospital denied an online rumor that Jolie gave birth.

Last week, Sussmann held a press conference to let reporters know the twins were due "in the weeks to come.

"Everything is normal," Sussmann said. "Everything is going well."

Pitt was photographed on Tuesday at the hospital. He was there with son Pax, 4.

Jolie previously received visits from Maddox, 6, as well as daughters Shiloh, 2, and Zahara, 3.

The actress checked into the hospital at the end of June via helicopter, Nice-Matin reported at the time.

Jolie is staying on the hospital's fifth floor which features an "unobstructed view" over the Bay of Angels, the paper reported. She reserved four rooms on the maternity ward, with a bodyguard keeping watch, according to the report.

The twins are the 5th and 6th kids in the Jolie-Pitt family, joining Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2.

Before anyone starts to make assumptions...(cough,cough too late) most twins are born very tiny ..... Angelina's twins were actually big for a twin delivery average size is 4 pounds due to the fact that they are born early to avoid serious risk to mom and babies... So get your facts straight before you start giving her hell about how her babies are small and leave these people alone!!

I KNOW SOME OF YOU THINK ANGELINA IS A HOMEWRECKER AND MAYBE SHE WASN'T INNOCENT IN ALL OF THIS BUT IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO AND OBVIOUSLY BRAD WANTED TO DANCE.

That must be because you're not a world-famous movie star.

Guess I got to you just a little bit, right? How would you function in this world without your filthy mouth? Funny thing, I recently had an altercation (I know you don't comprehend that word) with someone just like you - all mouth. However, when she forced the issue, she was laying on the floor because her mouth was no match for my flying fists. You see, sweetie, even though I am far from gutteral, like you are, I am not afraid to confront people like you. Getting back to Angelina, whatever she is, was, or will be in the future, you couldn't in your wildest dreams come close to the fine person she is. I'll bet you she could take you on, too, even though she is beautiful and a lady. Now, get your dirty mouth in gear and launch your next verbal attack. I'll be waiting!!!!!!!!

WOW, I just read that Angelina Jolie had a baby, I never knew she was pregnant, is this her first? Does anyone know who she is dating or married? I really wish that the press would keep us up to date on what Hollywood people are doing.

Is that the extent of your intelligence? How did you find your way to a computer? Someone like you is lucky if they know how to wipe floors. You are just as gross as that other one who called even the babies those awful names. I'd give a few hundred dollars right now to see what you look like. It mustn't be too pretty!

You must be very bored. I have a day off from work and stupidly got into this site. Now I know why I go to work and break my brain every day. If I hadn't seen all these comments, especially yours, I wouldn't believe it. How gross are you, anyway. At the time you posted your comment this morning, what kind or good deed did you do for anyone, or do you even know? Why don't you make something of yourself and go out and get a job. Leave these two people alone; you aren't fit to wipe their shoes. Whatever "baggage" they are carrying, they are far more decent people than you could ever be. When was the last time you looked in the mirror? Did you like what was looking back at you? You have some damn nerve to write those comments, especially about the two new babies. Why don't you start calling yourself the gutteral expletives you have called Brad and Angelina and their babies? You are so stupid, you probably don't even know what "gutteral expletives" are. Get yourself dressed, get to an Employment Agency, and make something of yourself, something a whole lot better than what you are.

Who are anyone of you to judge her as being a home wrecker????
She is just as human as the rest of us.
What has anyone of you done the work she and Brad do to help the less fortunate people that aren't craving the spolight on what they are wearing, or where they are dining, let alone to make the tabloids?
She is blessed with someone who loves her and has beautiful children that are adopted that Brad has taken on as his own and had her own children with him who they love equally, what man could be such a man and be there for her such as he? They found love and happiness and let them enjoy it!
Remember when you point a finger at someone.....you have four fingers pointing back at you.
And not to mention No One Can Steal Another's Husband!
There must of been trouble with Jennifer's marriage to Brad long before Angelina came along.
Shame on all of you that cast judgement!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:24 AM Christine Says:

I adore Angelina! I admire her work as an actress and as a caring, human being that can look beyond the stars and glitter that Hollywood could offer and know that she is just basically one of us and lives life to the fullest without the drama of what she should be wearing or God forbid where she might be dining to make the tabloids. And not to mention she is one of the finest women who can have so many tattoos and look so hot!
One must remember all the work she does for so many people less fortunate than she and Brad. She and Brad I think make a wonderful team with the work they do together! God bless her and her new addition to the family!
May her and Brad and her beautiful children have a blissful 100 years of happiness!

Wow...I've never been to one of these blog pages before but couldn't resist after seeing the news about THE TWINS...I think it's neat that Angelina and Brad have all those kids and enough money to give them a good life PLUS they really seem to enjoy them. What's wrong with some people who make such ugly comments?

I'm happy that both babies are healthy, but what is wrong with giving birth in America? Besides there lives will somewhat be unstable they travel so much who knows where home really is. When they do get paid the mega bucks for the first pictures and they really do donate the money to charity like they say, maybe the money can stay in the U.S.A. The money could go to help flood victims in the Midwest, or the small town in Iowa that was wiped away by a tornado, or the fire victims in Cali, how about the families who have lost there loved ones to the war, and maybe the money could help the organizations that help find missing children. I'm sure the hurricane victims in the south could still use the money too. I'm sure the money will go to Darfur or somewhere else. Probably in Franch somewhere.

Hey Kansas!!! It's not the governments job to give you healthcare!! That's your responsibility!!! The more the government gets involved and screws with any business or industry, we as Americans pay for it..The price of everything goes up!!! But most people here are too stupid to know that and by your post, you definitely are.. You're right though, people b!tch about things and the when it comes time to vote...They stay home......But, Angie's dad being excited??? Funny, up until a couple of years ago, Angie didn't have anything to do with him because he cheated on her mom...and left her...At least she got over all the "residual guilt" over taking someone else's husband...Lucky for her!!!
