Narrative:

45 minutes in cruising at FL390. Everything was normal up to this point. I was flying when we got an ECAM for the #1 engine bleed. The captain accomplished the ECAM and noted on the status page the #1 bleed temp was amber but cooling. Cleared the ECAM and immediately got another ECAM for both the #1 and now #2 engine bleeds. We immediately coordinated with ATC and started an emergency descent anticipating a loss of cabin pressure. The captain took the aircraft and I pulled the out the QRH and accomplished the action items for the emergency descent. I asked if the captain wanted the expedited descent but he felt that considering the turbulence we had encountered not to. Shortly afterwards we got the cabin pressure emergency descent ECAM and I accomplished the ECAM items. The captain notified the flight attendant of the situation. The cabin pressure still was below 11000 ft. We initially were cleared to FL310 but as we descended and it was obvious the cabin was continuing to slowly climb we requested further descent. We continued to descend but had to alter both our rate of descent and course to avoid thunderstorms; ATC asked for sob; fob and our intention. ZZZ was the closest suitable airport and with the existing weather conditions and turbulence we requested direct ZZZ. We continued descent to 10000; notified the company via ACARS and informed the passengers and flight attendants of our intentions. The masks deployed passing 16000. We loaded the FMGC with the ZZZ ILS xxl got the ATIS and accomplished the approach descent checklist. We landed without incident. Upon arrival; we coordinated with dispatch and ground for ground personnel to park aircraft and to have the paramedics meet us to appraise the health of all on board. All passengers were fine. Ran the parking check list and decided not to continue on.

Title: An A320 accomplished a successful emergency descent and diverted to a nearby airport when both engine bleeds failed resulting in the loss of cabin pressurization.
