Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have officially concluded their lengthy divorce process, bringing an end to one of Hollywood's most publicized breakups. The settlement comes eight years after their initial separation in 2016, which followed allegations of domestic abuse against Pitt during a private flight. Pitt has consistently denied the allegations, and no charges were filed after investigations.
The couple, often referred to as "Brangelina," married in 2014 after years of being one of Hollywood's most iconic pairs. Their relationship, however, began to unravel in 2016, with Jolie filing for divorce and citing irreconcilable differences. The separation marked the start of a complex legal battle, with disputes centering on the custody of their six children and the division of their shared assets.
Though Jolie and Pitt were declared legally single in 2019, the divorce proceedings dragged on due to ongoing disagreements. A significant point of contention has been their ownership of Château Miraval, a French estate and winery that the couple purchased in 2008. Pitt accused Jolie of selling her stake in the property without his consent, an accusation Jolie has denied, stating no such agreement existed.
Jolie’s attorney shared that she is "exhausted but relieved" to have the divorce finalized, signaling an end to years of stress and uncertainty. The conclusion of this chapter allows her to refocus on her career and philanthropic efforts. Pitt, too, has been navigating his personal and professional life during this period, most recently making headlines for his relationship with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon.
While the divorce settlement closes a major chapter in their lives, some legal matters related to the Château Miraval estate may still require resolution in court. The estate, known for producing award-winning wines, has been a point of pride for both actors, adding to the complexity of the dispute.
This settlement marks the conclusion of a high-profile saga that captivated fans and media alike. With the legal battle behind them, both Jolie and Pitt are expected to continue their respective journeys, focusing on their children, careers, and personal growth.
This resolution symbolizes a new beginning for the former couple, whose tumultuous relationship has been both celebrated and scrutinized over the years.
