Entertainment Tonight first reported on its website that Angelina Jolie had given birth in France.
Then People magazine posted a story online saying that Jolie had not given birth, and E! and US Weekly followed with their own stories saying the babies remained unborn. All of the reports cited anonymous sources.
Brad Pitt’s manager, Cynthia Pett-Dante, later said: “We have no comment except the story is not true.”
Entertainment Tonight said it stood by its story, with host Mary Hart saying that “a source who says she was inside the delivery room tells us, yes, the babies were born and, yes, mother and babies are fine”.
Jolie has said previously that her twins are due in August. She and Pitt have four other children, six-year-old Maddox, four-year-old Pax and three-year-old Zahara, who are adopted, and two-year-old Shiloh.
