Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Reported To Have 'Adopted' Baby Boy From Cambodian Slum

ANGELINA Jolie and Brad Pitt have 'adopted' a baby boy from a slum in Cambodia. 

The 40-year-old actress decided to take the child, Allouy Shoun, under her wing after her daughters Shiloh, nine, and Zahara, ten, bonded with kids from the tot's family. 

She was directing First They Killed My Father in Siem Reap in the north-west of the country when her kids formed a friendship with the 13 brothers and sisters. 

Shocked by their living conditions, Angelina vowed to sponsor the family and take their young son to live with them, but reportedly didn't tell her Fury actor husband Brad, 52, before making the decision.


A source close to the couple told Radar Online: "This was all staged like some secret military operation.

"Angie didn't want Brad to get wind of what she was doing because she knew he'd throw a fit!

"Angie has pledged to pay more than $1 million to help support the family and to adopt baby Allouy."

Since meeting the family, Shiloh and Zahara are said to have splashed out more than £130 on clothes for them, taken them on trips to an arcade and bought them two brand new bikes.

One of the kids, Leida Shoun, 16, explained: "We only had one bicycle for the entire family and it was old. So for us this is an amazing gift.

"Shiloh and Zahara and their family are very good, very nice people!"

Speaking about the Jolie-Pitt family, she continued: "We have known them for a while.

"They sponsor us. I play with Shiloh or Zahara. They meet us in Siem Reap town. They take us to the arcade in the Angkor Centre. I like it when we play ball."

The Maleficent star adopted her first child Maddox, 14, from Cambodia in 2002, and subsequently adopted Zahara and Pax.

She also has kids Shiloh Nouvel, Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline with Brad.
