She gave birth at the Santa Maria clinic.

Pitt was there during the operation, said the doctor, who delivered the twins at the seaside Lenval hospital in Nice in southern France.

"Everything is going well," said Sussmann. "The mother, the babies, the father are doing marvelously well."

He said the Cesarian was moved forward from its originally planned date "for medical reasons" so that the babies could be born "in the best conditions." Sussman did not give details.

The doctor said Jolie is expected to stay in the hospital for a few more days.

The babies' first photograph is believed to have been sold to a US paper for 5.5 million dollars - but the money will go to a humanitarian cause, in keeping with the couple's charitable beliefs.

American Jolie, 33, and Pitt, 44, have one biological daughter together, Shiloh, who was delivered by Caesarean section two years ago in the African country of Namibia.

The couples also are the parents of three adopted children - daughter Zahara from Ethiopia, son Pax from Vietnam and son Maddox from Cambodia.

The couple is known for their humanitarian work from the hurricane struck New Orleans, to Africa and Pakistan.
