NICE, France - 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.
"She is perfectly well," he said, noting that her arrival at the Santa Maria clinic on the seafront Promenade des Anglais in Nice Sunday had been planned for some time.
A source close to the clinic, part of the Lenval Hospital, said the birth was expected in mid-August.
Jolie will remain in the clinic until the birth, Sussmann said in a press conference he said he had called on the instructions of Jolie and her film star partner Brad Pitt.
She has taken a room on the fifth floor with a seaview along with three other rooms for visitors and bodyguards, Sussman said.
The twins will bring 33-year-old Jolie's brood with Pitt to six.
Pitt was seen Wednesday entering the clinic with at least two of their children.
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, three, 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 acquaintaince in France's Provence region.
