14 DAY TRIAL // At the moment, the Jolie-Pitt children are amongst the most famous celebrity kids, which makes all the paparazzi agencies in the world keep an eye out for the perfect occasion to snap them. However, baby boy Knox Léon and girl Vivienne Marcheline, the twins Angelina Jolie brought into this world in July 2008 are hardly seen, and this has prompted several magazines to speak of their frail health.
Star magazine, for one, claims to have it from very reliable sources that the twins’ state of health is far from rosy. This, the mag says, would explain why they are hardly taken out by their understandably concerned parents. Such a theory would also explain why no one has seen the two babies since the first photos with them and their parents were sold to People and Hello! Magazine.
Moreover, the magazine claims, citing the same insider close to the A-list celebrity couple, that Angelina is worried sick, up to the point of mortification, with concern for the two children. “They haven’t been the healthiest babies. Angie is being neurotic with Knox and Viv. She won’t let anyone near them without sanitizing their hands and taking off their shoes. She’s really freaking out.” the spy told the latest issue of Star.
This, again, would explain Angelina’s recent drastic weight loss, other media outlets are saying. Last time the couple stepped out together, for the premiere of Pitt’s movie “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” in Berlin, Angelina, though an exquisite presence on the red carpet as always, seemed worryingly thin, her slender frame being visible despite her donning a pair of floor-length, flowing white pants and matching jacket.
Of course, as most fans of the actress must remember, this is not the first time that the tabloids are saying she is suffering from an eating disorder. Neither is this the first time that her children are the object of speculation of this type, which, come to think of it, is understandable given the context. Pictures of Shiloh Nouvel, Brad and Angie’s first natural child, sold for $4.1 million for North America alone. Similarly, People and Hello! paid $14 million for the first exclusive photos of the twins – the biggest amount ever paid for the pic of a celebrity kid. The public is obviously interested in them.
