Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt reportedly used in vitro fertilization to get pregnant with their twins, Knox and Vivienne, because Mother Nature simply wasn’t fast enough and they didn’t want to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant. Read the story and see video here.
Although it has only been two years since Angelina Jolie gave birth to Shiloh, she and Brad Pitt decided to turn to in vitro fertilization because they could not wait for slowpoke Mother Nature. It worked for them. Now they have twins Knox and Vivienne.
Angelina Jolie chose to use in vitro in order not to face the stress of trying to get pregnant. You know . . . having sex with no guarantee of fertilization is so inefficient! Forget romance and sex. Just get that sperm to the egg pronto! We’ve got a family to create!
“If we’re going to have 10 kids, we’d like to raise them while we’re young,” she told Elle U.K. last year. Brad Pitt turns 45 on December 18.
Ten kids? They currently have Maddox (6), Pax (4), Zahara (3), Shiloh (2), and now Knox and Vivienne. Another two sets of twins should round out the family, or, to be more efficient, perhaps they could arrange for quadruplets and get the family completed more quickly.

Although the shortcut to twins sounds creepy, who could blame Ang? With her soon approaching her woman’s sexual peak, she might have another seven years of youthful beauty left before she’s reduced to vetting offers for movies like “Momma Mia!” . (And that is not an insult; Crabby adores Meryl Streep, who as far as she can remember never once shuffled her children in front of paparazzi to sell a movie.)
AND SO NOW WE KNOW, OR THINK WE KNOW, OR MIGHT KNOW, OR — OH, WHO CARES? — SOMEONE IS SAYING OFF-THE-RECORD THAT new celebrity angels Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt are the miraculous result of an Immaculate Conception.
According to that celeb bible US Weekly, the Brang brand was in such a hurry to propogate their genes that they skipped the old fashion method, (but we presume pretended a lot?), and instead went for the twofer plan at the invitro clinic, which wags call an expensive procedure. Surely they’re jesting? Expensive to lowly scribes, perhaps, but to Brad and Ang, the estimated $12,000 amounts to a carelessly-left tip.
Why bother, if you’re a celebrity, worrying about procreation cutting into potentially profitable years? Who wants to carry the extra weight around? By conceiving in a petri dish, Ang saves herself a full year of profits, which are estimated by Forbes to about $14 million annually. Well worth the investment of a $12,000 lab procedure, don’t cha think?
