Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have come to denial of previous reports that they used in vitro fertilization to conceive their twins.

Angelina Jolie and her lover Brad Pitt apparently try to shut down reports they conceived their twin babies Knox Leon and Vivianne Marcheline through in vitro fertilization. The actress, who gave birth to the babies on July 12, insisted they have never needed such fertility treatment.

As Angelina gave the rights to publish Knox and Vivianne first pictures to Hello!, she opened up about everything to the London-based mag, including the IVF rumors. "If they had been conceived through IVF we would have been happy to discuss it. But we have been fortunate never to have had fertility problems," the "Tomb Raider" star explained.

IVF rumors started to hit the famous Hollywood couple after US Weekly reported they decided to choose the procedure which cost 12,000 dollars in order to conceive quickly without further fuss. A source told the mag that Angelina 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.

Meanwhile, in related news, Brad revealed Angelina is breast-feeding the two babies and has been attempting to feed the two at the same time. "We try to get them to eat simultaneously for the sake of time management, but it gets a little crowded at the bar," the actor claimed.

Angelina and Brad gave People and Hello! joint rights to publish little Knox and Vivianne's exclusive pics. The world's influential couple sold the photos for $14 million, and has given the amounts to their own charity focusing on children. The worldwide magazines published the pictures on Monday, July 4.
