NICE, France, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- Britain's Hello! magazine has confirmed it secured the exclusive worldwide rights to publish the first photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's newborn twins.

Knox and Vivienne, the couple's fifth and sixth children, were born in mid-July in France.

The Times of London said the weekly magazine is rumored to have paid $11 million for the pictures, as well as an interview with the babies' film star parents, however, Hello! is declining to discuss how much the exclusive package cost.

The magazine's lawyers Friday sent letters to rival media outlets threatening legal action if they attempt to use the exclusive Hello! pictures or interview, The Times said.
