Angelina Jolie and Brad PittBrad Pitt has reportedly told friends that partner Angelina Jolie is expecting twins.

Rumours of new Jolie-Pitt pregnancy kicked off last month with the couple unofficially confirming the news at the Film Independent Spirit Awards at the weekend.

A source close to the family told the Daily Mail: “Brad’s been very quiet about this pregnancy so far but this was the weekend he decided to let the cat out of the bag. He’s telling everybody close to him, because he’s having to change around his work schedule to get ready for the birth.”

“They’re having twins, Angelina is healthy, and he’s thrilled that he’s going to be a father once again.”

“They didn’t exactly plan this pregnancy, but they wanted more children and Brad says Angelina was very willing to have them herself.”

But the friend added that it’s unlikely that the family will relocate to somewhere out of the way for the birth, like they did for daughter Shiloh’s arrival in May 2006: “They want to have these children in Los Angeles or New Orleans. I don’t think Brad wants to isolate himself and the family again like he did when Shiloh was born.”

“But he’s also probably not going to take on a major acting role before the birth either, so he can focus on making sure Angelina is happy, healthy and comfortable.”
