Angelina Jolie: I didn't conceive the twins through IVF

Actress denies rumours about conception of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline

Angelina Jolie says she was in shock when she and partner Brad Pitt discovered she was expecting twins

Angelina Jolie has denied rumours she had fertility treatment to conceive.

The actress gave birth to Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline on 12 June.

But Ange, 33, says she and partner Brad Pitt had no trouble extending their growing family.

‘If [the twins] had been conceived through IVF we would have been happy to discuss it,’ she says.

‘But we have been fortunate never to have had fertility problems.’

Brad - who has gone from 0 to 6 kids in 2 years - reveals he was so shocked to discover they were expecting twins he got the giggles.

‘We burst into hysterics,’ he tells Hello! ‘My sister had made a joke about twins the night before, because my grandparents and sister both had twins.

‘Angie was on the table during the sonogram and we were in hysterics. We didn’t see this one coming.’

Angelina and Brad, 44, are already parents to Shiloh, 2, and adopted kids Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3.
