Eight years after filing to legally end their relationship, Brad Pitt a Angelina Jolie have settled their divorce.
Jolie, 49, and Pitt, 61, signed off on their divorce on Monday, December 30. People.
“More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all the possessions they had shared with Mr Pitt, and has since focused on finding peace and healing for their family,” Jolie’s lawyer James Simon say People in a statement on Monday. “This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Honestly, Angelina is exhausted, but she’s glad this one part is over.”
A representative for Pitt declined to confirm or comment.
Pitt and Jolie were together for a decade before they exchanged vows in August 2014. Two years later, Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016 after two years of marriage and a decade as a couple, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. They share six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne. Jolie’s rep said at the time that she filed for divorce “for the health of the family.” Pitt was later investigated by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services regarding an incident with their eldest son on a plane. Although the allegations – which Pitt has denied – were investigated by the FBI, no charges were brought against the actor.
The exes have been declared legally single since November 2019, but have been fighting this in court. custody issues and their French winery, Château Miraval.
In November, Jolie took a major step forward in her ongoing legal feud with Pitt when a a judge tentatively overruled that the actor must turn over the documents and communications that Jolie claimed would prove he covered up alleged domestic violence against her and their children.
“I want to emphasize that Angelina again never wanted any of this. She never pressed charges, she left all their possessions, and she’s the one who tried to sell him the business in the first place,” Jolie’s lawyer Paul Murphy just say Us in a statement at the time. “Until today, Mr. Pitt has never been held accountable for his actions and has always controlled Miraval and the winery, yet he still demands more.”
The statement concluded: “She wants this to end, the children want this to end, and Mr Pitt should focus on healing their family, not pursue legal proceedings. If not, Angelina will defend herself in court by presenting the necessary evidence to show that Pitt’s claims are patently false. “
A source close to Pitt said exclusively Us later that month that the ruling was “largely irrelevant because it had already provided so much information.”
Jolie and Pitt have also continued to fight over Miraval throughout this past year, which is unrelated to their divorce case. The legal battle over the $164 million French estate and winery began in February 2022 when Pitt filed a lawsuit against her alleging that she illegally sold her shares of Château Miraval. Pitt claimed that he and Jolie had previously agreed that they could only sell their shares with each other’s approval.
In November, Us confirm that a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has ruled in favor of the Château Miraval case going to trial – and that Pitt’s claims against Jolie remain. allowed to proceed. The judge confirmed that Pitt has sufficiently alleged a contract regarding shares in the holding company, and Pitt’s claims were valid on two counts of interference. The update came after a judge previously shut down Jolie’s attempts to have the case dismissed.
