Los Angeles - The Brangelina brood has just increased by two, according to an entertainment news television programme, which reported on Friday that Angelina Jolie has given birth to twins in France.
No other details were immediately available, including the babies' sex or when they were born. Entertainment Tonight posted the report on its website, citing a source close to Jolie that it did not name.
Representatives for Jolie and her companion, Brad Pitt, did not immediately respond to phone and e-mail requests from The Associated Press for comment.
The twins are the fifth and sixth children for the couple. Their other children are six-year-old Maddox, four-year-old Pax, three-year-old Zahara and two-year-old Shiloh.
The pair recently moved into the Miraval Estate villa in the French hamlet of Correns, in the Provence region, according to the mayor and the inn's owner.
"They are people who I hope will live normally here," Mayor Michael Latz told The Associated Press.
Security guards were blocking the gates to the estate on Friday, while a postal truck and other maintenance vehicles regularly passed in and out.
Onno Stijl, owner of the L'Auberge du Parc inn, said it was a good thing they were moving in and could help business. He said he gets his wine from the estate's vineyards.
"It's a couple living here now like everyone," he said by telephone.
The area, he said, "is a bit isolated but that gives it a certain ... privacy."
According to its website, the Miraval estate dates from pre-Roman times. It includes fountains, aqueducts, moats, a lake and vineyards that produce an organic wine distributed worldwide.
Pitt and Jolie may be Miraval's first movie stars in residence, but Miraval has seen its share of rock stars. The estate includes a studio which has hosted the likes of Sting, the Cranberries and Pink Floyd, who recorded tracks for The Wall album there.
