Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie used a new method, in vitro fertilization, to conceive their twins.

US Weekly magazine reported that power couple Brad Pitt (44) and Angelina Jolie(33) decided to use in vitro fertilization to conceive their twins. In vitro fertilization is a new method where egg cells are fertilized by sperm outside woman's womb.

They decided to choose this procedure which cost 12,000 dollars in order to conceive quickly without further fuss. A source told US that Jolie chose this shortcut way because she didn't want getting stress of trying again and again to get pregnant. "She could just knock it out," the source said. At Jolie's age, it was probably difficult for her to conceive naturally, but with this new method, her chance of having twins sum up to 25 percent.

Dr. Arthur Wisot of L.A.'s Reproductive Medical Group told US Weekly, "We live in an era of reproductive freedom, so anybody can do anything they want within legal limits."

Last year, the woman who was voted the greatest sex symbol of all time in the British Channel 4 television show "The 100 Greatest Sex Symbol" told British Elle, "If we're going to have 10 kids, we'd like to raise them while we're young,"

Vivienne and Knox were born on July 12 , in France. Before this artificial inseminated product were born, Brangelina have raised three adopted children, 6-years-old Maddox, 4-years-old Pax, 3-years-old Zahara and one biological child who is still 2 years old, Shiloh.
