LOS ANGELES: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have inked a multimillion-pound deal with UK’s Hello! magazine for publishing the first photos of their twins.

The magazine has also brought its publication date forward to August 4 in order to capitalise on the publishing coup.

“This is one of the publishing sensations of the decade — Brad and Angelina are the dream couple of the glossy magazine world and we expect to triple our circulation because of the public’s fascination and interest in the couple and their children,” Telegraph quoted a magazine source as saying.

Angelina gave birth to twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline on July 13 at the Lenval hospital in southern France, and the newborns’ first photographs are estimated to be worth at least £ 5.5m pounds ($11 million).
