Brangelina expecting twins?

Brad and Angelina (C) PA

It seems that Brad and Angelina aren’t prepared to be outdone by J.Lo’s recent unloading of her (still unnamed) twins. A “close friend” of the couple – who is rather helpfully also the “close friend” of a number of showbiz gossip sites – reckons Brad’s said there’s not one but two little Brangelettes on the way. Ahhh.

The couple’s chum went on to say that Brad had been very quiet about this pregnancy so far, “but this was the weekend he decided to let the cat out of the bag”. A delightful metaphor to apply to a pregnant woman, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Before we all get carried away, we need to keep things in perspective. Brad and Angelina haven’t actually publicly announced that Jolie’s got a single bun in the oven yet, let alone a couple of them. That much-publicised bulge might just be the result of a few too many pints. Time will tell.

If Ange does turn out to be up the duff, this will be her and Brad’s second biological offspring. The source went on: "They wanted more children and Brad says Angelina was very willing to have them herself." Damn decent of her.

The couple already has a good-sized and impressively-named brood, of course – with Maddox Chivan, Pax Thien, Zahara Marley, and Shiloh Nouvel all already firmly ensconced at Brangelina Towers.

The pair are probably dipping their hands into the Scrabble bag trying to come up with the new kids’ names right now.
