SHILOH MOVES IN WITH BRAD & JEN!
The actress has finally found the daughter she’s always wanted...
It was a festive season to remember for Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, who rekindled their love under the mistletoe at her holiday party.
And things are only set to get better for the pair, with friends telling Woman’s Day moving trucks were spotted outside Jen’s Bel Air mansion and she welcomed Shiloh and Brad into her home.
“Jennifer and Shiloh have really bonded over the past few months. Brad knew they’d get along famously and made a conscious effort to have them spend time together,” says a source. “She’s asked Brad if she can call Jen ‘Mum’ – it moved Brad to tears.”

According to our insider, Jen, 50, has taken to the role with gusto and refers to Shiloh, 13, as her honorary daughter – something her mother Angelina Jolie is none too pleased about.
“Jen’s basically adopted Shiloh as her own within a few months of truly knowing her,” says the source. “For Angie, who realises how close they’re getting, it’s the worst-case scenario. Not only has she just gone through a terrible divorce from Brad, she’s now losing her daughter to a woman she cannot stand.
“She already hated that Brad has gone back to Jen, but she’s seething that Shiloh would rather spend time with Jen than her these days. And given that Brad fought tooth and nail to get joint custody, there’s not a damn thing Angie can do about it.”
For Jen’s part, she’s doing everything she can to shield Shiloh from the tension between her parents. “Jen sees a little girl at a sensitive age who just wants to be a normal kid,” says a source.
“Jen takes care to never mention Angelina around Shi, and focuses instead on quality time together. They ride quad bikes at Brad’s place – something Angie would never do – and go on hikes together. And Shi loves playing with Jen’s dogs.
“It’s also pretty obvious Shiloh likes to have Jen’s sole attention rather than competing for her mum’s with her five other siblings. She’s a lot more introspective and quiet than her brother and sisters, and seems to thrive in the environment Jen and Brad have created for her.”
And the benefits of their relationship are mutual for Jen.
“Shiloh represents a new start for her and Brad. She never thought she’d get over him dumping her for Angelina, but raising Angie’s daughter as her own, together with Brad, makes it feel like she’s come full circle,” says the source.
“Jen always wanted to be a mum and she thought that ship had sailed – but now with Shiloh, she feels like she’s getting her chance.
“With Brad and Shiloh, she’s entering a new phase in her life and she’s never felt happier.”
