Angelina Jolie: got gestational diabetes, not married
Angelina Jolie might need to cut back on those craving cupcakes - she has reportedly developed gestational diabetes.
The actress is said to be around five months pregnant with twins but is finding this pregnancy a lot harder than her first.
A source told Star magazine that she’s “constantly tired” and is experiencing painful swelling caused by fluid build-ups: “Angie has gestational diabetes. She found out about a month ago and has been trying to keep it under wraps.”
“She’s been seeing a nutritionist about it - frequently.”
“She’s sick and irritable and feels heavy and weak.”
The condition affects around two percent of pregnant women and can cause pregnancy complications if not addressed. The disease usually subsides at the end of the pregnancy but there is an increased risk for both mother and child/children of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
In related news, sources close to Angelina and partner Brad Pitt have denied rumours the couple got married yesterday.
Reports claim the pair married in a private ceremony at a church in the French Quarter of New Orleans but a source told People magazine there was “no wedding”.
Spokespeople for neither star have addressed the rumours.
