Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the once-celebrated Brangelina, ended their marriage in rather messy terms. Fierce legal battles unfolded, with Pitt filing a lawsuit against the Gia actress for selling her stake in a winery jointly owned by them. In retaliation, Jolie sued the Troy actor, alleging physical abuse towards her and their children on a plane in 2016.
Recent reports suggest that the former couple is now on a path to amicably resolve their legal disputes. Earlier, stories had emerged about a bond between the couple’s daughter and Jennifer Aniston, Pitt’s ex-wife.
Brad Pitt’s Daughter Shiloh Found Comfort in the Company of Jennifer Aniston
As the tensions escalated between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, their fourth child, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, found herself emotionally disturbed by the ensuing chaos. Shiloh, who preferred a peaceful and quiet environment, struggled to handle her siblings and a stressed Jolie. Seeking solace, Pitt’s daughter turned to the only other adult in her life, Jennifer Aniston.
The Bullet Train actor was married to the FRIENDS actress when he met and fell in love with Jolie on the sets of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The Lara Croft actress was accused of causing the divorce of Pitt and Aniston. However, it appeared that Aniston harbored a soft spot for Shiloh, which an insider source revealed to New Idea:
“Jen has always had a soft spot for Shiloh and feels sorry for her being stuck between two parents, and told her she was always welcome to come and spend time at her place. Shiloh jumped at the chance, and Brad was all for it.”
Reportedly, Shiloh began accompanying Pitt on visits to the Murder Mystery actress and enjoyed spending time with Aniston and her pet dogs. Later, the visits became unaccompanied and the two bonded over pizza making. However, Angelina Jolie reportedly resented this relationship.

Further, according to the source, Shiloh began to consider Jennifer Aniston as a significant adult figure in her life, perhaps more so than Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. The young girl frequently sought out Aniston for advice and guidance. However, the source noted that the Eternals actress was furious about the fact that Aniston was playing stepmother to her daughter.
There were earlier reports that Jolie would move to London to escape the messy divorce proceedings and paparazzi scrutiny. The source said that this move was also triggered by the relationship between Shiloh and the Derailed actress. The source added:
“Shiloh will be devastated to move so far from Jen. No amount of pleading would change Ange’s mind – in fact, if Shiloh told the truth about why she wanted to stay, namely to be closer to Brad and Jen, her mum would be more determined than ever to split them up.”
The move didn’t eventually happen and the relationship between the mom and daughter appears to have stabilized. The issues between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt also seem to be settling down, while notably, the latter continues to maintain a good relationship with Jennifer Aniston.
