Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Reach Divorce Settlement
After eight long years of legal battles, Hollywood superstars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reached a divorce settlement, as per the actress lawyer. In a statement, Jolie’s lawyer said that his client has been focusing on “finding peace and healing for their family” since divorce proceedings began. He made the comment to People magazine.
The pair got married in 2014 and have six children. They were among the most high-profile pairs in the entertainment industry and dubbed as ‘Brangelina’ by the press. Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, citing “irreconcilable differences”.
Later during separate court proceedings, it came out that Jolie had accused Pitt of being abusive to her and two of their children on a private jet that year. Pitt was not charged following a police probe into the incident and has denied the allegations.

James Simon, Angelina Jolie’s lawyer said that “This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over”.
In 2016, after filing divorce, the couple released a joint statement saying that the divorce would be conducted privately – and neither have spoken extensively about their relationship in the years since.
However, details have emerged in overlapping court cases which paint a picture of an acrimonious divorce, with Jolie accusing her ex-husband of “waging a vindictive war”, and Pitt accusing her of seeking to deliberately undermine his businesses.
Apart from the divorce case, the two are engaged in a legal battle over a vine yard, and it is not clear if the settlement in divorce case will the battle on the French vineyard.

They have been involved in a bitter dispute over Chateau Miraval, a sprawling property which they bought together in 2008 for a reported 25 million euros (£21.3m) and where their wedding would eventually take place. In 2022, Pitt accused Jolie of selling her stake in the property to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler without his knowledge in order to deliberately damage his wine investment. Jolie did not publicly comment on the lawsuit at the time.
The couple had also been embroiled in a child custody battle, which reached an agreement in 2021.
