On Friday morning, Early Show reporter Priya David celebrated the approaching birth of twins to
David exulted over the pregnancy by reporting on the wonderful surprise Jolie and Pitt felt when they found out they were expecting twins. She quoted Jolie as saying, “We weren't expecting twins! So it did shock us, and we jumped to six quickly. But we like a challenge.”

She quoted Ari Karpel, senior writer of Entertainment Weekly: “It's so hard to judge from the outside whether something is genuine between two people.

David ended by quoting Jolie when asked whether she intended to marry. Jolie said, “It's not a big intentional thing not to marry. We immediately were a family when we became a couple, and children were the priority, and we're both legally committed to the children.”
Message from CBS: As long as two people really love each other and are committed to the children, it's ok not to marry.
