Angelina Jolie has given birth to twins " a boy named Knox Leon and a girl named Vivienne Marcheline, her doctor, Dr. Michel Sussmann, confirmed to the Associated Press.

He said the actress, beau Brad Pitt and the babies "are doing marvelously well."

Jolie, 33, gave birth via a Cesarian section at the Lenval Hospital on the French Riviera on Saturday night, the AP and French newspaper Nice-Matin reported.

Knox weighed 5.03 pounds and Vivienne weighed 5 pounds, Sussmann told the AP.

Reps for Jolie, Pitt and the hospital did not confirm the report.

Earlier in the day, a rep for the hospital denied an online rumor that Jolie gave birth.

Last week, Sussmann held a press conference to let reporters know the twins were due "in the weeks to come.

"Everything is normal," Sussmann said. "Everything is going well."

Pitt was photographed on Tuesday at the hospital. He was there with son Pax, 4.

Jolie previously received visits from Maddox, 6, as well as daughters Shiloh, 2, and Zahara, 3.

The actress checked into the hospital at the end of June via helicopter, Nice-Matin reported at the time.

Jolie is staying on the hospital's fifth floor which features an "unobstructed view" over the Bay of Angels, the paper reported. She reserved four rooms on the maternity ward, with a bodyguard keeping watch, according to the report.

The twins are the 5th and 6th kids in the Jolie-Pitt family, joining Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2.

    Yay she had her babies. I'm so happy for their family. and to everyone who doesn't like Angelina it's not her fault that all Jen wanted was to use Brad as publicity and to advance her career. It's not Angelina's fault that Brad was so ready to start a family and Jen just wanted to keep using him Its not Angelinas fault Jen is selfish for not wanting to have
