Angelina Jolie: Childbirth Is the Most Natural Thing
Angelina Jolie has delivered her baby in Namibia, just week before her own birthday.
Angelina Jolie has delivered her baby in Namibia, just week before her own birthday.
Angelina's new baby is Namibian by birth. Unlike Maddox and Zahara, "this child is not going to come with a country and a history,"Angelina Jolie has told media in February.
However, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt - that's the name of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's first biological child - is automatically given Namibian citizenship.
"The night of May 27, 2006, in Namibia, Africa, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt welcomed their daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. No further information is being given," Pitt's publicist Cindy Guagenti said in a statement.
Local reports have suggested Angelina Jolie might opt for water birth, but she has flown in Namibia her own ob-gyn from Los Angeles. Hence, the birth occured in the Burning Shore resort, where Brangelina has rented all 14 units.
Either way, Angelina Jolie was thrilled about the birth.
"She is with the people she loves in the country she loves," a friend of Angelina told Life&Style weekly before the baby was born.
Besides, a friend says that Angelina told Brad Pitt about the much-anticipated event: "Childbirth is the most natural thing in the world. So I might have to handle a little pain - so what? I'm not worried."
Angelina Jolie already has two adopted children - son Maddox, 4, and daughter Zahara, who is about 15 months old.
Brad Pitt, 42, and Angelina Jolie, 30, met in 2004 while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith, in which they played married assassins ordered to kill each other.
