After eight years, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally reached a divorce settlement, with Jolie’s lawyer confirming the news. Jolie filed for divorce more than eight years ago, leaving all shared properties with Pitt to focus on finding peace and healing for their family. The lengthy process has taken a toll on Jolie, but she is relieved that this part is finally over. The couple, who became known as “Brangelina” during their relationship, were legally separated in 2019 but were still technically married. Jolie initially cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for seeking divorce, and they have six children together.
The public split between Jolie and Pitt played out in the courts, with accusations being hurled from both sides. In 2018, Jolie accused Pitt of not providing meaningful child support following their breakup, while Pitt claimed Jolie was manipulating media coverage. Jolie maintained that a loan and payment of bills by Pitt did not constitute child support payments. In 2022, Jolie accused Pitt of physical and verbal abuse during a 2016 flight from France to Los Angeles, where he allegedly choked one of their children. This incident led to the divorce proceedings, according to a court filing from Jolie. Pitt’s lawyer denied the allegations, stating that Pitt has owned up to his responsibilities from the beginning and would not take responsibility for things he did not do.
Despite the serious allegations, no criminal charges were ever filed against Pitt, and investigations by the FBI and the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services were closed in 2016. The highly-publicized divorce proceedings have been going on for years, with both Jolie and Pitt fighting various legal battles. Jolie’s lawyer confirmed the settlement, signaling the end of this particular chapter in their ongoing legal saga. Jolie’s focus has been on finding peace and healing for her family, and she can now finally move forward from this part of the process.
The high-profile nature of Jolie and Pitt’s relationship, combined with their acrimonious split, has captivated media and public attention for years. The couple met on the set of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and quickly became one of the most famous couples in the world. Their divorce has been marked by accusations, legal battles, and public statements from both sides. The settlement finally reached after eight years marks a significant milestone in the ongoing process, allowing both parties to move forward in their separate lives and put this chapter behind them.
As Jolie and Pitt work towards finalizing their divorce settlement, they continue to co-parent their children and navigate the complexities of their high-profile relationship. The settlement comes after years of legal wrangling and public statements, bringing some closure to this chapter in their lives. Despite the challenges they have faced, both Jolie and Pitt remain dedicated to providing stability and support for their children as they move forward. The end of this particular legal battle may bring some relief to both Jolie and Pitt as they begin to navigate their post-divorce lives.
