(December 31, 2024) — After nearly a decade of legal disputes and media scrutiny, Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally reached a settlement in their highly publicized divorce. The resolution brings an end to an eight-year legal battle that began when the couple, once regarded as one of the most iconic pairs in Hollywood, filed for divorce in 2016.
The settlement covers a range of contentious issues, including custody arrangements for their six children and the division of their extensive assets. According to sources close to the case, Jolie and Pitt agreed to joint custody of their minor children, with specific terms designed to ensure privacy and stability for the family. The couple has also finalized the distribution of properties, including their celebrated Château Miraval estate in France.
The legal battle saw several dramatic twists over the years, including disputes over child custody, allegations of misconduct, and disagreements regarding financial settlements. Both Jolie and Pitt, while remaining largely private about the proceedings, occasionally expressed their frustrations publicly. The protracted nature of the case also highlighted the complexities of high-profile divorces involving significant wealth and global fame.
In a joint statement released by their representatives, Jolie and Pitt emphasized their commitment to co-parenting and maintaining a supportive environment for their children. “We are relieved to have reached an agreement that prioritizes the well-being of our family,” the statement read. “We ask for respect and privacy as we move forward.”
The resolution marks the closure of a chapter that has drawn significant public attention since the couple’s split. Jolie and Pitt, who met on the set of the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2004 and married in 2014, were once celebrated as a power couple. Their settlement now allows them to focus on their individual careers and personal lives, away from the ongoing glare of the spotlight.
