“The parents and the babies are in excellent health. Everything is fine,” Jolie’s doctor, Michel Sussmann, told Reuters. He said the c-section had been planned for a long time but the date was brought forward “for medical reasons.”

The doctor said Jolie was under epidural and was able to speak to a “perfectly calm” Pitt, 44, during the birth.

“They were very happy,” Sussmann said Pitt “was looking at what I was doing. He was my assistant. No, that’s a joke.”
