I know better than to put faith in tabloids - whether they’re in print or online - but due to a lack of other actual news since the Jolie-Pitt family is finally enjoying some privacy after their whirlwind time at Cannes, let’s talk about the newest rumor.
According to X17 Online, the latest is that we haven’t seen the couple lately because Angelina Jolie is currently on bedrest. The site states that Angie is due to give birth to the Jolie-Pitt twins next month and that she has been told to take it easy for the remaining weeks.
Again, let’s be clear - X17, while entertaining and while having great photos, is a tabloid and they never actually name any sources, so it’s quite likely that Brad, Angelina, and the kids are just enjoying a little bit of peace in their new French home, kicking up their feet by the pool and getting in some final time with just the six of them before the two new arrivals are born. Tabloids like to fill lulls in celebrity lives with dramatic stories so it’s very possible that they completely pulled this one out of thin air.
That being said, it’s not entirely impossible. While Angelina seemed in great spirits at Cannes for both films and didn’t seem uncomfortable (and she also said it’s not like it was hard work to sit around, answer questions, and wave at people), it’s not uncommon for women who are pregnant with twins to be on bedrest near the end of their pregnancy. Since we don’t have any solid confirmation of a due date we can assume that MAYBE Angelina is due in June and MAYBE she could be on bedrest, or at least a modified version of it - in other words, maybe not restricted to bed, literally, but that she needs to take it easy and not do anything even remotely strenuous.
Also, I have to say, with all the other crap rumors that people make up about Brad and Angelina, at least this one isn’t malicious or mean-spirited.
I do hope that she’s not on bedrest. I had to spend two days in the hospital about a month before my first daughter was born and my lord was it ever BORING. Angelina Jolie is such a free spirit, constantly doing things and taking care of everything that I can’t imagine her just lying around reading and watching television without eventually going stir crazy.
Hopefully we’ll hear some real, solid news soon and know what’s really going on with our favorite celebrity family!
