After an eight-year legal battle, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finalized their divorce settlement, concluding one of Hollywood’s most drawn-out separations. The agreement, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, addresses their marital and property rights, with both parties waiving future spousal support.
The couple’s separation began in 2016 when Jolie filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. This followed allegations of physical abuse by Pitt during a private jet flight, leading to investigations by the FBI and child services, though no charges were filed.
Throughout the divorce proceedings, disputes over child custody were prominent. The couple shares six children, with custody issues now only concerning their 16-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne, as the other four have reached adulthood.
In addition to custody matters, the divorce centered around their jointly owned French estate and vineyard. Legal battles over the estate included disputes over Jolie’s sale of her share and allegations related to the property’s management. Both Jolie and Pitt have engaged in lawsuits over the property’s ownership and associated business dealings.
Throughout the divorce process, both actors have maintained relatively low public profiles regarding their separation, focusing on their careers and personal endeavors. Jolie has received acclaim for her role in “Maria,” while Pitt continues to find success as both an actor and producer. Prior to their divorce, the actors both starred in movies including By the Sea and Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
The resolution of their divorce marks the end of a significant chapter in both their lives, allowing them to move forward independently. While some legal matters remain unresolved, the settlement brings closure to their marital disputes.
