Pregnant Angelina Jolie has checked into a hospital in Nice, France, ahead of the birth of her twins, is “doing great” and is “very healthy and happy,” Reuters reports.

It became unclear at some point last month whether Angelina Jolie had already given birth to her babies, safe and private from the prying eye of the media. A spokesperson has cleared the mystery, revealing Tuesday that the pregnant Hollywood actress has checked into hospital.

Jolie was admitted to the Lenval Hospital on Monday, a hospital spokeswoman told the media, and the Academy Award winner’s spokesperson confirmed the reports Tuesday, stating that Jolie is “doing great.”

Jolie’s Los Angeles spokesman sent an e-mail to Reuters saying that Jolie is “doing great, very healthy and happy.” The rep would not elaborate on Jolie’s medical treatment.

Nadine Bauer, spokeswoman for the Lenval Hospital, told In Touch Weekly magazine that Jolie had come to the medical facility as “part of a pre-planned rest period, before she gives birth,” adding that the visit had “been planned for a long time” and that “there are no complications.”

“She is just resting,” Bauer added.

The twins will be Jolie and partner Brad Pitt’s fifth and sixth children, siblings to their brood of four: Cambodian-born Maddox, 6; daughter Zahara, 3, from Ethiopia; Vietnamese-born Pax, 4, and biological daughter Shiloh, 2, born in Namibia.

Speculation regarding a certain expansion of Jolie’s waist began long ago but it was only in late May, at the Cannes Film Festival, that the 33-year-old confirmed she was expecting twins.

Last month, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she confessed that finding out she was pregnant with twins had been a “shock.” Once over the astonishment however, Jolie discovered that unlike other women who complain of morning sickness, sore backs, mood swings, the dreaded inflation of the silhouette and what not, she felt quite happy and comfortable being pregnant.

“As a woman you’re just so round and full,” she said.

Round and full and happy, Jolie, Pitt and their four children have been in France for several weeks now, preparing for the arrival of their new family members. It has been speculated that they chose France in order to honor Jolie’s late mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, who passed away last year.

The couple plans to spend a while in France, considering they have signed a three-year lease on an estate in the French Riviera. Entertainment news sources reported in May that the Jolie-Pitts acquired a $60 million 1,000-acre estate called Chateau Miraval, located in a tiny village called Brignol in the Var.

The property allegedly has 35 bedrooms, swimming pool, billiards room, indoor pool, gyms, sauna and jacuzzi and a huge banquet hall. The castle is reportedly very intimate, with a driveway three miles long. The place is surrounded by forest on all sides and is close to Aix en Provence.

The Jolie-Pitts could very well organize play dates for their children with the offspring of their very famous French Riviera area neighbors, Bono and wife Ali Hewson and Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis.

Asked at one point whether her children would be learning French, Jolie replied “it’s a second language in our home,” and that Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh are already practicing.

Agelina's obstetrician is scheduled to give a news conference later this afternoon.
