In Touch has a funny story to go along with the new fan pictures of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s 14-month-old twins, Knox and Vivienne. The fan pics came from an ice cream parlor outing in Jordan, and pretty much every magazine and gossip site has jacked those pictures over and over. I was thinking about that the other day – considering these are the first images of the twins we’ve seen in months, the guy who took the photos should have held on to the pictures and sold them to the highest bidder – he could be a millionaire by now. Poor guy.
Anyway, In Touch Weekly put up a surprisingly nice little story about the twins and what their lives are like. I guess the In Touch editor got tired of running “the last straw” breakup stories and decided to make up some stuff about the kids. According to IT, after Brad and Angelina’s UNHCR trip to Syria, they made the stop in Jordan at the request of Angelina’s friend Queen Noor, the former queen of Jordan. Queen Noor “wanted to meet the twins.” Interesting. Angelina and Queen Noor are friendly – according to reports, Angelina stayed in Noor’s palace when she traveled to Jordan in July with Maddox. Here’s more:
Although their parents fight, the twins are certainly living a charmed life.
“Knox is mellow and loves to listen to music,” a family friend says. “Viv has Angie’s firecracker personality, but is so feminine.”
The twins are different but undeniably close. “They always hug and sleep together in a custom-built crib,” says the friend.
They have two nannies watching their every move, who keep them on a strict schedule. “They go to bed by 6 p.m. and are up at 6 a.m.,” and in their nursery, there’s a place to heat their bottles. Their siblings love being with them too.
“Z’s motherly, while Shi tells stories. Maddox draws pictures for them and Pax loves to make them painted macaroni necklaces.”
“Despite Brad and Angelina’s issues, they’re very devoted to their kids.”

In addition to these pleasant fictions (“They always hug”? Even a Brangaloonie like me is gagging a little), In Touch has some little photo pull-outs with some added commentary that’s pretty awesome. Considering the twins reportedly sampled their parents’ ice cream during the Jordan outing, the tabloids can no longer make up stories about how the twins are sickly, fussy eaters. IT’s source confirms: “They’re very happy, healthy kids.” Also, they’re saying that “Angie always says that Knox is a mini-Brad” and that Vivienne has “the same features” as Angelina. Also, Viv is talking. Their source says: “If she wants to be picked up, she says ‘up-py.’” Too cute, right? Empress Zahara will teach her new words, don’t worry.
