People magazine will publish pictures with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie together, in the July 11 issue. The six pictures, taken near her residence Buckinghamshire, England show a relaxed Pitt ridding a dirt bike with Jolie's son Maddox. Another three were taken at Luton Airport outside London.

Larry Hackett, People's deputy managing editor didn't want to reveal how much he paid for those photos, but said the price tag was under $1 million and "there was no bidding war" with competitors such as Us Weekly and Star magazines.

"I think they're better photos than what have been out there of this couple," said Hackett. "They represent news about this relationship. For better or worse, people are interested in this."

"She's a 30-year-old woman with a son," said Hackett. "He's a 41-year-old man who's just left a four-year marriage and is in the midst of a divorce. You know, you don't jump into these things, check it out, then split. I think they're being grown-ups. They're trying to figure out what's next."
