Angelina Jolie’s actor father Jon Voight has spoken of his joy at the birth of her twins, confessing he is “deeply happy” with the news.

The actress delivered her babies by Caesarian section at the Fondation Lenval hospital in France on Saturday.

The twins, named Vivienne Marcheline, after Jolie’s late mother Marcheline Bertrand, and Knox Leon, weighed 5 pounds and 5 pounds 3 ounces respectively.

Grandfather Voight, who recently made up with his superstar daughter after a six-year feud, can’t wait to receive the call inviting him to meet the newborn tots.

He tells The Insider, “I’m over the moon – it’s magnificent. In this world, all we can hope for is that mommy and the kids are healthy. I’m very excited. If I were called today, I’d be there.”

Earlier this year, Voight, who upset his daughter after telling reporters she had “severe emotional problems”, promised he would conduct their relationship privately, saying, “If we try to have any relationship in the future, we do it quietly”.

John Voight, estranged father of Angelina Jolie, is excited about the prospects that she might be pregnant again.

“It’s wonderful news that she’s having another child, if that’s true,” the actor told The New York Observer Monday.

Rumors that Angelina Jolie is expecting another child with Brad Pitt arose after she was seen at the SAG Awards in a loose and flowy vintage Hermès dress, Sunday night.

X17online.com had reported last week she was expecting twins. (Pitt’s rep refused to comment yesterday.)

“I can’t count on anything the press says about her because there is so much said but she has certainly captured the imagination of the press,” Voight told The Observer’s Transom column.

Angelina Jolie has ended the rift between her and her estranged father, Jon Voight by reaching out with a telephone call. The pair hadn’t spoken since Voight told a U.S. television show in June 2002 that he hoped Jolie sought help for her “serious emotional problems”. Voight, 69, has since attempted to patch things up with his daughter, and last month, said, “I’m very impressed with Angelina’s work, with some of the humanitarian things, and she’s a great actress.

“I am always thinking of Brad and the kids. I’m sending my love that way.” A source tells the National Enquirer that Jolie called her father while spending Christmas in New Orleans with partner Brad Pitt and their four children.

The friend reveals, “It was a short call, but it meant the world to both of them. It was something for them to build on, and Jon couldn’t say enough good things about the way his daughter is conducting her life.”

Though a source tells Us it was the late Marcheline Bertrand’s “dying wish” that ex-husband Jon Voight, 68, and their daughter, Angelina Jolie, 32, make amends, it hasn’t happened yet.

The Internet buzzed with rumors of a truce when Voight was spotted October 7 at the Waldorf-Astoria, the NYC hotel where Jolie is staying.

But Voight’s rep tells Us, “It’s all a mistake. They didn’t see each other all weekend.”

Well that is just too bad.

John Voight is reeling with regret following the January (07) death of ex-wife Marcheline Bertrand, according to son James Haven.

Haven claims his Oscar winning father was always “tough” on mother Bertrand, who died at the age of 56 following a seven and a half year battle with ovarian cancer.

The couple split in 1976 shortly after the birth of Haven’s younger sister Angelina Jolie. Haven, 33, says, “My dad left a voicemail message that was very kind, wishing condolences to me and my sister. That was what he did.

“He was very tough on my mom for years and then the person he was tough on has gone. He can’t do anything now, he can’t fix that and it’s very painful.”
