Although Brad and Angelina said in the past a pregnancy could happen at any time, they were completely surprised. “But then Angie’s latest ultrasound revealed there were two heartbeats — well, they couldn’t believe it!” reveals the source. “They were totally shocked!”
This will be baby number seven and eight for the growing family — which includes Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 5, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 3.
“Angelina is absolutely thrilled,” says the confidante. “She and Brad can’t believe that they’ve been so blessed again. They are so excited that they are struggling to keep it a secret. But they are totally buzzing and have only spilled the good news to very close friends and family.”
But only their oldest child, Maddox, knows about the new baby bro. “They’ve decided to wait on the other kids until Angie’s a bit further into her pregnancy — they don’t want to get the younger ones all excited in case there are any hiccups along the way,” explains the source.
Maddox has become so attentive to his mommy since hearing the news. “He’s super protective of Angelina — the real rock of the family,” says the confidante. “Although he did say to his parents: ‘So now are you gonna get married?'”
After seven years together, Brad and Angelina might finally make Maddox’s dream come true. “We’d actually like to [get married],” Brad revealed in a recent interview. “It seems to mean more and more to our kids.”
These new babies could bring a lot of change — including a birth in the United States for once! “For the first time, they are discussing Angelina giving birth in the United States,” says the source. “They think it would mean a lot for the grandparents to be nearby when the new twosome arrive.”
This time around, Angie’s pregnancy couldn’t be easier. “This time the morning sickness isn’t bad,” says the source. “It’s a huge relief to Angelina. She wants this pregnancy to be as stress-free as possible.”
And Brad’s tending to her every need: “This pregnancy has really brought them all together. They can’t believe that they will soon be a family of 10!”
