We reveal what it's like to be Hollywood's most talked about babies
Friday, 16 October 2009
For much of Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt's short lives, they've been holed up at Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's huge mansions in LA and France, but Now has got the lowdown on their daily lives.
A family friend reveals: ‘Angie wanted to keep them sheltered from prying eyes. It means it's been easier for the twins to have a routine. The babies both love playtime and are creative, thanks to being surrounded by their older brothers and sisters.
‘Viv's very much a girl's girl; she loves dolls and little tea sets, while Knox is crazy about his toy cars and loves playing in the mud. They have reading time before bed at around 7pm and an iPod with sleepytime music that helps them nod off.
‘Knox always has an arm round Viv. Brad and Angie sometimes have to leave them with a big team of nannies and security minders when they go away on UN trips or filming, but their routine never changes.'
Unlike their more outgoing siblings Maddox, eight, Pax, five, Zahara, four, and Shiloh, three, Brad and Angie feared the twins were too vulnerable to cope with any paparazzi intrusion.
That's because Vivienne was born at just 5lb and is reportedly allergic to milk and both she and Knox suffered severe colic caused by digestive problems since birth.
A family friend says: ‘The twins' digestive enzymes just weren't functioning properly, especially Vivienne's - she has a lot of food allergies, including cow's milk, so feeding them has been really tricky.
‘They don't go out nearly as often as their siblings because Angie and Brad just feel incredibly protective of them. The babies have had trouble sleeping and Angie says she can't remember the last time she slept two hours straight.'
Fortunately, Vivienne and Knox's 'sensitive' tummies have settled down and they pair recently enjoyed an ice cream with mum and dad at the Licky Licious ice cream shop in Amman, Jordan.

I thought she breast-fed the twins hence that statue? Why the cow milk allergy and why the hell giving those kids ICE-CREAM???
If the twins are allergic to milk then why was Angie and Brad just photographed last week talking them out for ice cream?
I really don't understand how the twins are allergic to milk both Brad and Angelina took them to have ice-cream. Because there is milk in the ice-cream. So I don't believe that the twins are allergic at all.
...so Vivienne is allergic to cows milk and yet they were recently pictured in an ice cream parlour... Just shows how much this "family friend" really knows.
I doubt that the parents would go to an ice-cream shop if one or both of their children had allergies to milk products.
