Abstract: We propose a model of bimetric gravity in which the mixing of metrics naturally gives a mass to a graviton by the compactification with flux of two gauge fields in extra dimensions. We assume that each metric in the solution for the background geometry describes the four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime with an $S^2$ extra space, though the two radii of $S^2$ for two metrics take different values in general. The solution is derived by the effective potential method in the presence of the magnetic fluxes on the extra spheres. We find that the a massive graviton is governed by the Fierz-Pauli Lagrangian in the weak field limit and one massless graviton left in four dimensions.
