LOS ANGELES - Angelina Jolie gave birth to a baby in Africa on Saturday, according to her boyfriend Brad Pitt's publicist.
Jolie was scheduled to give birth to a baby daughter via Caesarian section at a hospital in Namibia, a celebrity magazine had earlier reported on its Web site.
There was no immediate word on the sex of the baby.
In Touch Weekly wrote that Jolie, 30, had planned to give birth to her child with Pitt at an African resort where they are staying, but doctors told Jolie she would be safer in a hospital.
“There’s nothing seriously wrong. They are expecting it all to be routine,” the magazine quoted an unnamed “insider” as saying.
In an e-mail to the Cannes Film Festival in the south of France on Tuesday, Pitt wrote he couldn’t attend the screening of his new film, “Babel,” due to “the imminent arrival of the newest addition to our family.”
The expected birth of the first biological child for both Jolie and Pitt, 42, has drawn intense media attention — and equally determined efforts by the couple to maintain their privacy.
Arriving at the coastal town of Walvis Bay last month, they have been shielded by their own bodyguards and Namibian police at the luxury Burning Shores resort hotel. Pitt and Jolie have largely kept out of sight along with her two adopted children, Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 16 months.
Both children have had their names legally changed to Jolie-Pitt.
Last month, the couple’s security chief gave a local journalist a statement signed by Pitt and Jolie asking that they be left alone.
Photographers have gotten a few shots, but for the most part, they have had to settle for photos of large, green barriers set up on the beach to block the view of prying lenses.
Samuel Nuuyoma, the governor of the Namibian province where the family is staying, has been quoted as saying he would visit the hospital and name the baby.
“No. No. That’s absolutely not true,” Nuuyoma, who has met the couple, told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
“I never said such a thing. Never in history,” he said, abruptly ending the phone conversation.
An informal poll by Namibian station Radio Wave determined that listeners were evenly divided on whether the day Jolie gives birth should be declared a national holiday, according to the station’s Web site.
