New parents Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie turned to fertility treatments when they decided to add to their family, a source told Us Weekly.
"They conceived through in vitro fertilization," a Brangelina pal said. "They both desperately wanted more babies soon."
Jolie, 33, opted for the pricey procedure so "she wouldn't have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant," the source added. "She could just knock it out."
Fraternal twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline were born on July 12 at a hospital in Nice, France.
The babies' power-couple parents have spoken about a desire to have several more children. Jolie said on "The Daily Show" last year that she and Pitt can't decide how many children they want. "It fluctuates between seven and 13 or 14," she said. "We kind of feel like, damn it, we're up for the challenge."
But, according to the Brangelina insider, the couple "were too impatient" in their wish to have children while they're young.
The twins join siblings Shiloh, 2, Zahara, 3, Pax, 4, and Maddox, 6.Pitt's publicist had no comment on Thursday
I’ve just decided that from here on out, the name Brad Pitt will also be used as a verb, meaning: to do an act of kindness and/or extreme selflessness resulting in general goodwill for all of mankind. Let’s try it out. “Oh yeah I saw this homeless guy on the street the other day and I totally did a Brad Pitt and gave him my sandwich.” Or, “One might say that Mother Teresa Brad Pitted herself a spot into heaven-typical!” Hmm…maybe?
I only bring this up because HE’S DONE IT AGAIN!! The rumor on the street is that Brad Pitt (the man, not the verb) will be shooting a Dell commercial set to premier at the 2008 Super Bowl and then just handing over the dough to Bono’s Red Campaign. The Red Campaign supports The Global Fund, which helps women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.
Dude, you’re talented, you’re rich, the ladies love you, and now you’re a humanitarian god. Save some for the rest of us! Oh well, it looks like I’m just gonna have to Brad Pitt my way into popularity.
