Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have concluded their divorce settlement, marking an end to one of Hollywood’s most protracted and turbulent breakups, which stretched over eight years. The couple reached a written agreement regarding their marital and property rights, as detailed in a default declaration filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court.
Jolie’s attorney, James Simon, noted that Jolie has been focused on fostering healing and peace for their family since she filed for divorce in 2016 after an incident during a private jet flight from Europe, which she reported included allegations of physical abuse against her and their children. The FBI and child services conducted inquiries but ultimately concluded without pursuing charges.
While the couple has come to an agreement regarding their divorce, some legal matters remain unresolved, particularly concerning a lawsuit tied to the sale of a French winery they co-owned, Chateau Miraval. Pitt has claimed that Jolie’s sale of her share of the winery to another group was made without his consent and was a vindictive act, while Jolie maintains that Pitt sought to impose a significant non-disclosure agreement regarding his behavior.
Despite their legal battles, both stars have continued to thrive in their respective careers. Pitt has experienced a resurgence in public favor and won an Academy Award for his work in “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.” Meanwhile, Jolie has stepped back into the spotlight, garnering attention for her directorial efforts and her upcoming portrayal of legendary soprano Maria Callas.
Looking ahead, this settlement could pave the way for both Jolie and Pitt to focus more on their individual passions and careers while co-parenting their children, which includes minor twins Knox and Vivienne. Their journey through this challenging period may inspire others facing similar family struggles and highlight the importance of finding resolution, even in the most complicated circumstances.
