BEIJING, June 4 (Xinhuanet) -- Brad Pitt and Angelina
Jolie have become the pround parents of a new-born baby girl.
Shiloh Nouvel is the couple's first biological
child - the Tomb Raider actress has two adopted children, Maddox, four, and
16-month-old Zahara, who Brad became a legal guardian of earlier this year.
The actor was in the delivery room when his partner
Angelina Jolie delivered the girl, who they have named Shiloh Nouvel, via
Caesarean section in a private hospital in Namibia on May 27.
Pitt, like many new dads, was offered the chance to
cut the cord - the lifeline which joins mother and baby - by medical staff and
reportedly jumped at the chance.
The couple's obstetrician, Jason Rothbart, who
travelled to the Southern African country from the US to be at the birth,
revealed Brad carried out the impromptu procedure and has also revealed the
baby's weight.
He said: "The baby was a healthy 7lb. Brad was with
Angelina the entire time and cut the umbilical cord. The surgery and birth went
flawlessly." Enditem
