Clearly concerned about her dad’s recent behaviour, describing it as “out of character”, 13-year-old Shiloh has since reached out to her father, urging him to seek professional help rather than turn to the rapper’s spiritual gatherings, which some have labelled a ‘celebrity cult’.
In fact, New Idea has learnt that she’s believed to be so worried she’s now planning to move in with her dad sooner rather than later, so she can keep a close eye on him.
“She just wants to stay with her dad,” a source revealed earlier this year.
Brad and Shiloh have always had a close bond.
“She’s crazy about her dad, so spending time with him is at the top of her wish list,” an insider told Hollywood Life in May.
In September 2016, an alleged altercation between Brad and son Maddox, 18, on board a private plane led to Angelina filing for divorce.
According to a source quoted by Us Weekly last month, “Maddox doesn’t really see himself as Brad’s son,” despite being legally adopted by the actor in 2006.
Meanwhile, it appears that Brad’s estrangement from his kids comes at a time when Angelina has become closer than ever to their children.
As seen in New Idea’s exclusive images, the mother of six was recently pictured smiling and laughing, holding hands with Shiloh and Zahara, 14. On the same outing, Angelina was in animated conversation with son Pax, 15, who later joined in the raucous fun with his siblings.
It’s another heartbreaking blow for Brad, who’s said to be having less and less involvement with the Jolie-Pitt clan.
According to Us Weekly, last Christmas Maddox and Pax even refused to join their siblings opening presents at Brad’s home.
“He feels like his relationships are at breaking point,” adds the source. After splitting with Ange three years ago, Brad was investigated by child services and had to attend therapy, Alcoholics Anonymous and undergo drugs and alcohol testing to prove he was fit to have custody of his children.
In a recent interview with The New York Times, Brad opened up about his struggles with alcohol and his decision to quit drinking following his break-up.
“I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privilege,” he said.
Speaking about his time with his Alcoholics Anonymous group, Brad said: “It was actually really freeing just to expose the ugly sides of yourself. There’s great value in that.”
In a previous interview, Brad admitted his relationships with his children needed work. “I gotta be more for them. I have to show them. And I haven’t been great at it,” he said.
In this interview, he spoke about how his strictly religious parents, who brought him up Baptist, now followed what he called a “goofy-ass” charismatic church. Now it seems Brad is hoping to return to religion.
It’s the second time Brad’s attended Kanye’s church event.
This time the event took place away from its usual Calabasas base, in the LA suburb of Watts, where Brad gathered with others at a church car park.
“He’s always been religious and has found comfort in his faith, but lately going to his usual church just hasn’t been enough for him. That’s why he’s turned to Kanye’s Sunday Service,” explains the source.
“Kanye is all about healing your soul and finding the good in every situation, and Brad wants to do that now more than ever.”
But Shiloh is not so convinced Kanye’s services will help her father overcome his demons and she will do everything she can make sure he stays away.
“Shiloh’s staying at Brad’s now, and while Ange is desperately trying to make amends, she’s refusing to move back with the rest of her siblings until her mum holds out an olive branch to Brad and starts making a bigger effort to include him in their lives,” a source told another publication.
But will Shiloh decide to make her living situation with Brad a permanent one?
