Meet Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline who at only 3 weeks old are about to take the world by storm. In an exclusive interview and photos, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie offer PEOPLE an intimate look at their growing family. (Hello! Has the international rights to the photos.)
"It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time," Angelina told PEOPLE of daily life at the Château Miraval in Provence, France, where the couple's four older children – Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2 – have been enjoying a summer of outdoor play (hide-and-seek is a favorite) on the château's sprawling grounds. Adds Brad: "[It's] still a cuckoo's nest."
Fortunately, they already have some household helpers. "[Shiloh] and Z pick out [the twins'] clothes and help change and hold them," says Angie. "It's sweet – they are little mommies."

After Wednesday's press conference – during which Angelina Jolie's obstetrician announced it could be "several weeks" before she gives birth – she and Brad Pitt continued settling in to the Fondation Lenval hospital in the South of France. "It's like Fort Alamo!" trumpeted the Nice-Matin. The local newspaper also described the international media crush at the hospital as something out of the TV series 24 with walkie-talkies "like the kind Jack Bauer would use."
But the scene inside seems far more domestic. Brad dropped by the maternity ward Wednesday afternoon with their two daughters, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2. Angie– who is expecting twins with Brad– is staying in a pre-booked suite of four rooms overlooking the Mediterranean, the paper reported, adding that each room goes for a modest 125 Euros. (That's just under $200.)
Her obstetrician, Dr. Michel Sussmann, said Wednesday that the Oscar-winner could give birth anytime "in the next weeks." The doctor has been monitoring Angelina's pregnancy for the past two months, Nice-Matin reported, noting that he has been practicing in the area for 23 years.
"She will only benefit from being monitored at the hospital in the weeks to come," Sussmann said. "All this is ... totally normal." Is he nervous having such a high-profile patient? "I'm not nervous at all," he told PEOPLE. "She's a very nice person, very happy. She's not nervous either."

Angelina Jolie's Vanity Fair Interview: On Falling Brad, Naming Shiloh, Her Mother's Death And Talking To Her Father
Angelina Jolie says she didn't expect to fall for Brad Pitt. “After my last divorce, I said I was absolutely going to marry somebody in another field, an aid worker or something," she reveals in July's Vanity Fair. "Then I met Brad, everything I wasn’t looking for, but the best man, the best father I could possibly wish for, you know?" she adds. "I don’t see him as an actor. I see him very much as a dad, as somebody who loves travel and architecture more than being in movies.”
Although Brad, 44, seems to have taken more of an interest in humanitarian causes since their romance, Angie, 32, says his passion for international affairs "was actually one of the things that brought us together. “Though he wasn’t as publicly active," she adds, "I found him to be very aware of the world, very curious, very compassionate. In his private way, he had been doing a lot. When we met, we realized our common goals were that we both wanted to be involved in the world and see what we could do. When it comes to common goals — orphans, orphans’ rights, children — we support each other," she goes on. "It brings us together and makes our relationship work.”
Angie also says that "people have made a lot out of it that we’re not, but we both have been married before, and it’s very easy to get married, but it’s not easy to build a family and be parents together. And maybe we’ve done it backwards, but we certainly feel married.”
Naming her daughter Shiloh:
"It’s a biblical name, but we didn’t name her for that. It was a name my parents almost named their first child ‹ there was a miscarriage: Shiloh Baptist. Because my father had been shooting in Georgia and that was the most southern name [my parents] could come up with. It’s a name I always liked. I used to go under it in hotels: Shiloh Baptist. I’d gone under it when [Brad] called hotel rooms where I was staying.”
Being religious:
“[My mother] stopped going to confession at one point because she was having sex before marriage. To me, she represented what religion should be. She never preached. If things didn’t make sense to her, she never just accepted it. I had Communion, but she never forced me to go to church.
“Brad got me this great thing for Christmas. It’s a bookshelf that has a book on every religion. That’s how we plan to raise our kids. Teach them about all religions. They can pick one or be a student of all of them. We’ll celebrate Kwanzaa for our girl. We’ll celebrate moon and water festivals for our boys. We’ll take them to temples in certain countries. Also to church.”
Losing her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, to cancer:“When [my mother] passed [in 2007], I realized that somebody who lives life with that kind of dedication to their family is the most noble. I was aware of it growing up. I admired her. And I loved her. But in her passing she reminded me what matters. And what’s most fun: to put yourself aside for these other little people you’re raising.
“Mad always knew my mom was sick. So when [her death] happened, I sat him down and I told him how some people believe there’s a heaven where everybody goes and is together again. And they believe it’s very white and beautiful. And some believe — he’d just seen Casper — there are ghosts who are people and they are always around. And some believe it’s a long peaceful sleep. When I told him, and I was crying, 'Grand-mère died today, we won’t be able to see her anymore, but she’ll always be around,’ he said, 'Like she’s here now? Like she’s in that chair?’ And I said, 'Well, I suppose she could be.’ And he accepted it. It’s funny. It’s like we teach kids the things that we want to believe. Then we see that they have such beautiful faith and it helps them go to bed and we’re in the other room not sleeping well.
“I had to be responsible for getting the morgue to pick [my mother's] body up. She was in Cedars [Sinai, in Los Angeles]. All I had to do is remind myself that she’s my best girlfriend and she’s not in any more pain. I’m so happy for her. As much as I miss her, I’m a good enough friend not to have wanted her to stay in pain any longer.”
Talking again to dad Jon Voight:"We don’t really have a relationship, but we’re in contact. And wish each other well. I think we’ve realized there’s been too much discussion. Him discussing me publicly. I’ve had to comment on him. I think it’s best that, if we try to have any relationship in the future, we do it quietly.
She said that she has never seen Voight's 1979 Oscar-winning performance in Coming Home.
“Because that was when my father left my mom, and the woman who he cheated on her with is in the film,” Jolie says. (When rumors that Angelina had an affair with Brad while he was wed to Jennifer Aniston, she denied them. "Do I need to defend that I’m a decent woman?" she said.)

Actress Angelina Jolie, 32, is enjoying her pregnancy and time with partner Brad Pitt and their children. Angie opens up in July's Vanity Fair about being pregnant, raising an international family, their 2-year-old daughter Shiloh and how they annoy their children. The family not only includes, Shiloh, but siblings Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, and Zahara, 3, all from different countries.
On being pregnant:
“I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. Also, I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depending on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”
On her international family:“
When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents. It’s not a humanitarian thing, because I don’t see it as a sacrifice. It’s a gift. We’re all lucky to have each other. I look at Shiloh — because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little — and say, ‘If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?’ I suppose I’m giving them the childhood I always wished I had.”
On Shiloh’s birth:
“We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don’t think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us. It ended up being the greatest thing…. I had a C-section and I found it fascinating. I didn’t find it a sacrifice and I didn’t find it a painful experience. I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do.”
On nannies:
“We don’t ever have anybody spend the night. We may have to adjust that when the next one comes. But we do have ladies that work with us, and they’re also from different cultures and back-grounds. One lady’s a Vietnamese teacher — wonderful. One is of Congolese descent from Belgium. Another is from the States and is really creative and does art programs.”
On raising her children:
“Artists raise their kids differently. We communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It’s what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.”
