Angelina Jolie’s gynaecologist, Dr. Michel Sussman, gave a press conference on Sunday, and said both Angelina and partner Brad Pitt did great during the birth of their twins.

During her C-section at the Lenval Hospital in Nice on Saturday, Sussman claimed Angelina happily chatted during the delivery of twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.

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.”

Now that the babies are born, there is a bidding war for which magazine will feature their first photos. Experts guessed the exclusive shots could set a record for the most money offered for a cover.

So just how much are we talking about? The figure could go as high as $20 million. Luckily for everyone, I think the Pitt-Jolie Family is the type to donate any funds they receive.
