Pitt, Jolie have a baby girl

A representative for the couple said Jolie, 30, had given birth to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt on Saturday in Namibia, a sparsely populated desert country in southwest Africa. There were no further details available, People reported.

The couple, dubbed "Brangelina," have been closely followed by the tabloids and paparazzi in Namibia since arriving there weeks ago to have their baby.

Jolie reportedly took a shine to Namibia, better known for dunes and diamonds, while filming the movie "Beyond Borders."

The couple have been holed up in a sealed off beach resort in the tiny village of Langstrand and it was unclear if the child had been delivered there or at one of the private hospitals in the nearby towns of Walvis Bay and Swakopmund.

Locals in the Walvis Bay, shrouded in fog on Sunday morning, were thrilled by the celebrity birth.

"It's great ... She has put us on the map. It is a great thing," said resident Della van Noorten.
