Hollywood star Angelina Jolie will give birth to twins in the coming weeks in the French Riviera maternity clinic she has checked into, her gynaecologist said Wednesday.
"Her hospitalisation at this stage of her pregnancy is strictly normal for someone who underwent a caesarean in her first pregnancy," Michel Sussmann told reporters, adding that he could not give a more precise date for the birth.
The twins will bring 33-year-old Jolie's brood with Brad Pitt to six.
The Lenval Foundation's Santa Maria maternity clinic on the seafront in the city of Nice said Tuesday that Jolie had checked in as planned to prepare for the birth.
Jolie and Pitt, 44, have been the subject of celebrity gossip fascination since they met on the set of their 2005 film "Mr and Mrs Smith."
Dubbed "Brangelina," they have adopted three children: Maddox, six, born in Cambodia; four-year-old Pax, born in Vietnam; and Zahara, 3, born in Ethiopia.
They also had a biological child, Shiloh, born in Namibia in May 2006.
The pair, who frequently top magazine lists of the world's most beautiful people or couple, set up home in May in a chateau they rented from an American acquaintance in France's Provence region.
Pitt was previously married to "Friends" star Jennifer Aniston, while Jolie has been married twice before.
