Inside Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s 8-Year Divorce Battle: A Final Settlement
After an eight-year legal battle, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finalized their divorce. Jolie, 49, and Pitt, 61, officially signed the divorce papers on December 30, 2024. Jolie’s lawyer, James Simon, stated that she is “exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.”
The couple’s separation has been marked by disputes over child custody, finances, and the sale of their shared vineyard, Château Miraval. Allegations of physical altercations by Pitt were also part of the proceedings, which he has denied and for which he was cleared by authorities.
Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. Since then, she has focused on finding peace and healing for her family. The couple shares six children, both adopted and biological.
The finalization of their divorce brings to a close a protracted and bitter dispute, allowing both parties to move forward separately.
