Angelina Jolie Dismisses Fertility Treatment Claims 8/4/08

Angelina Jolie has dismissed reports she underwent fertility treatment to conceive her newborn twins with partner Brad Pitt. The couple was rumored to have turned to in vitro fertilization (IVF) to help them expand their brood with twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, who were born last month (12Jul08).

But Jolie, 33, tells British magazine Hello!, "If they had been conceived through IVF, we would have been happy to discuss it. But we have been fortunate never to have had fertility problems."

The twins became the fifth and six children to join the Jolie-Pitt clan. They are already parents to adopted kids Maddox, six; Pax, four; Zahara, three, and biological daughter Shiloh, two.
