Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt reportedly received a $14 million sum in exchange for positive coverage of their twins' birth.

The couple allegedly made a deal with People magazine to print only positive stories about Vivienne and Knox.

The Telegraph reports that two New York insiders -  who were actively involved in the bidding process - have come forward with details of the transaction.

However a spokesperson for People denies the story, insisting, "These claims are categorically false.

"Like any news organization, People does purchase photos, but the magazine does not determine editorial content based on the demands of outside parties."

Angelina and Brad reportedly donated the money made from the deal to charity.
