Brangelina twins make debut
The twins of entertainers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have had their official unveiling by People magazine, which reportedly paid $14 million US for the rights to the pictures of the babies born July 12 in Nice, France.
This week’s cover of the glossy features Jolie cradling the babies — Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon — with Pitt looking at them over her right shoulder.
The photo was taken by Getty Images at the Chateau Miraval in Provence, France, where the couple have been living in recent months.
People.com released one photo on its website late Sunday prior Monday’s release of the magazine.
A small, corner picture shows the couple’s daughter Shiloh holding Vivienne.
The twins are the latest addition to the Jolie-Pitt brood, which also includes seven-year-old Maddox, four-year-old Pax and three-year-old Zahara.
The cover includes a quote from the 33-year-old actress describing family life as “chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time.”
The article inside has the new mother praising her other children for helping out.
“[Shiloh] and [Zara] pick out [the twins'] clothes and help change and hold them,” notes Jolie. “It’s sweet — they are little mommies.”
People acquired North American rights to the photos while British gossip magazine Hello! took all other territories.
Pitt and Jolie have said proceeds will go to charity.
