Hollywood icons Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finalized their divorce settlement, ending an eight-year legal saga, Jolie’s lawyer confirmed on Monday.
Dubbed “Brangelina” by the media, the pair married in 2014 and share six children.
Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, citing “irreconcilable differences” and later accusing Pitt of abuse during a private jet incident that same year.
Pitt denied the allegations and was not charged following a police investigation.
Jolie’s lawyer, James Simon, stated that she has been focused on “finding peace and healing” for her family throughout the protracted proceedings.
“This is just one part of a long ongoing process… Angelina is exhausted but relieved this chapter is over,” he told People magazine.
While the divorce settlement marks progress, unresolved disputes remain.
Notably, the couple has been embroiled in a legal battle over Chateau Miraval, their French vineyard purchased in 2008.
In 2022, Pitt accused Jolie of selling her stake to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler without his consent, allegedly to harm his wine business.
The former couple, who met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, had agreed to joint child custody in 2021.
Both have remained tight-lipped about their relationship, though court cases have revealed a contentious separation.
