Brad Pitt has moved back into his and Angelina Jolie's family home

Here’s a piece of news that we definitely didn’t see coming: Brad Pitt has reportedly moved back into his and Angelina Jolie’s family home amid their bitter divorce.

When Angelina announced their split back in September, Brad left their shared home in the Los Feliz estate for a nearby rented apartment in Los Angeles, but now neighbours have confirmed that he is back.

Aerial photographs obtained by Grazia magazine show that the Hollywood actor’s cars have been parked in the driveway in recent weeks, and neighbours confirmed to the magazine that Brad is “there most days.”

It has also been reported that Brad is desperate to make the house as “kid-friendly as possible” in his bid for joint custody of his and Angelina’s six children, 15-year-old maddox, 13-year-old Pax, 12-year-old Zahara, 10-year-old Shiloh and eight-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne.

So far Brad has apparently installed two giant trampolines, a playground and a 50m skatepark.

He also hopes to make a playhouse for the younger kids, with a source explaining: “Brad wants to prove to the courts that he’s putting the children’s welfare first.

“Obviously the family circumstances have changed dramatically, but he wants them to feel at home there.

“He’s doing everything he can to try and fight for his kids.”

After a difficult few months, Brad and Angelina recently agreed to have their divorce and custody dispute in private, with the pair announcing in a statement: “he parties and their counsel have signed agreements to preserve the privacy rights of their children and family by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge to make any necessary legal decisions and to facilitate the expeditious resolution of any remaining issues.

“The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification.”

It was previously reported that Brad was left devastated after he was forced to spend Christmas alone, without his children, last month.
