Angelina Jolie is Having Twins

Jack Black Spills the "Secret"

Angelina Jolie finally confirmed today that she and boyfriend, Brad Pitt, are indeed having twins. Jolie admitted the news in an interview with the Today Show's Natalie Morales while in Cannes promoting her new project Kung Fu Panda alongside co-star Jack Black.

But the decision to come forward with the news of having twins was certainly not of Jolie's own making. In fact, it was Jack Black who let slip the news that Jolie and Pitt are expecting twins, when he said in the interview set to air tonight on Access Hollywood and tomorrow on the Today Show, that :"You're gonna have as many as (the) 'Brady Bunch' when you have these (children)."

Natalie Morales picking up on the apparent slip made by Black, asked Jolie whether the twin rumors were true. To which Jolie replied "Yeah, yeah, we've confirmed that already. Well, Jack's just confirmed it actually." Jack Black jokingly apologized for his slip up.

When asked about the sexes of the babies Jolie said she wanted to keep that matter private. Reports by Star Magazine have Jolie set to give birth to twin girls this year, while those of In Touch Weekly said that Jolie is set to have fraternal twins.

But much pregnancy rumors and speculations have been circulating the Hollywood power-couple as far back as the SAG Awards when Jolie stepped onto the red carpet in a billowing ombre dress, designed to hide her growing baby bump. From there it was full steam ahead for the Jolie-Pitt baby bump watch, which took a pit stop at the Independent Spirit Awards where it was all but confirmed that Jolie was pregnant.

Amid the increased media scrutiny, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been seeking refuge in France, where strict privacy laws favor paparazzi-shy celebs like Brangelina and Johnny Depp, or even those who are tired of being hounded by the press. So, when asked whether she plans to have her twins in France, Angelina Jolie said that the idea is possible, not confirming and in no way denying that France will be the birth country of her twins.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are no strangers to seeking refuge outside the US to ensure the privacy of their family and children. In 2006, Angelina Jolie gave birth to the couple's first biological child, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, in the relatively obscure African nation of Namibia to escape the glaring and intrusive lens of the paparazzi.

The twins will bring to a total of six children in the Jolie-Pitt household, adding to the brood of the couple who said they hope to have enough children to start their own football team.
