After an eight-year legal battle, Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reached a divorce settlement, finally bringing closure to one of the most high-profile splits in recent memory. Known as “Brangelina,” the couple’s relationship and subsequent divorce have kept the public’s attention for years, and this settlement marks a significant step forward.
Jolie, who filed for divorce in 2016, citing irreconcilable differences, has faced a long and arduous legal process. Her lawyer, James Simon, confirmed the agreement and shared with People magazine, stating that “Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.” Jolie, who has been focused on healing and peace for her family, is reportedly feeling a sense of relief, though legal battles persist.
Brad Pitt’s legal team has not commented on the details of the settlement, but it is understood to represent progress after years of complex legal disputes, including a highly publicized child custody battle. In 2021, Jolie and Pitt reached an agreement on joint custody, helping to resolve one major point of contention. However, their disputes over shared assets, notably the French vineyard Chateau Miraval, continue.
The couple’s relationship has faced numerous challenges, including allegations from Jolie in 2016 that Pitt was abusive toward her and two of their children during a private jet incident. Although Pitt was cleared after an investigation and denied the allegations, the claims complicated the divorce proceedings.
Jolie and Pitt’s six children, three of whom were adopted internationally, have been central to their legal disputes, with the couple balancing parenthood and their successful acting careers over the years. Jolie continues her work in acting and directing, with her recent project Maria, a biopic about opera singer Maria Callas. Pitt, known for iconic roles in Fight Club and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, is currently filming F1, an upcoming Formula One movie where he plays a veteran race car driver.
Despite the settlement, the dispute over Chateau Miraval remains ongoing, with Pitt accusing Jolie of selling her stake in the property to Russian businessman Yuri Shefler in 2022 without his consent. This issue remains unresolved, with no public comment from Jolie on the matter.
This divorce settlement, while a significant milestone, marks another chapter in the ongoing saga of their relationship and legal struggles. Fans of the former couple, and the public at large, will continue to follow the developments as they unfold.
