Jolie may be carrying Brad's twins (Go To Top)

Katy Holland, deputy editor of 'Mother + Baby' magazine, said that Jolie's rapidly expanding bump could be an indication that she is carrying more than one child. "The fact that Angelina's bump has grown so much in a week could be because she is pregnant with twins," Contactmusic quoted her, as telling Heat magazine. However, Holland was quick to add that until Jolie herself confirmed that she was pregnant with twins, there was no way to be sure.
