When Angelina Jolie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, passed away on January 27 after a six year fight with cancer, she left her daughter in the hands of the one person who can help Jolie get through this difficult period.

Specifically, the only man who has brought stability and domesticity to her life: Brad Pitt.

That afternoon, Jolie, 31, and Pitt, 43, arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to be with Bertrand, 56, during her last hours.

“Everybody cried,” says a Jolie friend. “Marcheline told Angelina and Brad that she loved them. It was incredibly emotional.”

Bertrand herself had grown quite fond of Pitt – especially after seeing her daughter date (and, in two cases, marry) the wrong men.

Shortly before the birth of daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt last May, Bertrand told Us, “I love Brad. He is wonderful. I am very, very happy and very excited for them.”

The Babel actor even accompanied Jolie on her visits to the Raffles L’Ermitage, Beverly Hills hotel where Bertrand lived in a suite.

“Marcheline approved of their relationship completely,” says a source. “And Brad loved her.”
