After eight long years, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally reached a divorce settlement. The news was confirmed by Jolie’s attorney, James Simon, who stated that the couple had come to a deal. This brings an apparent end to one of the longest and most contentious divorces in Hollywood history.
The settlement was first reported by People magazine, and Simon later confirmed the news to The Associated Press. In a statement, Simon said that Jolie had filed for divorce over eight years ago and had since focused on finding peace and healing for her family. He added that Jolie was “exhausted” but relieved that this part of the process was over.
Jolie and Pitt were one of Hollywood’s most prominent couples for 12 years. The two Oscar winners have six children together and were considered a power couple in the entertainment industry. However, their relationship took a turn for the worse in 2016, when Jolie filed for divorce after a private jet flight from Europe. She alleged that Pitt was abusive toward her and their children during the flight.
A judge declared Jolie and Pitt divorced and single in 2019, but the splitting of assets and child custody needed to be separately settled. This has been a long and contentious process, with both parties engaging in a bitter battle over the years. However, with the settlement now in place, it seems that the couple can finally move on with their lives.
The terms of the settlement have not been made public, and it is unclear how the couple’s assets and child custody will be divided. However, it is likely that the settlement will be filed in court and will need to be approved by a judge. Once the settlement is finalized, Jolie and Pitt can begin to rebuild their lives and focus on their respective careers and personal well-being.
Jolie’s attorney, James Simon, has expressed relief that the settlement has been reached, stating that Jolie is “exhausted” but relieved that this part of the process is over. He added that Jolie has focused on finding peace and healing for her family over the past eight years and is now looking forward to moving on with her life.
The settlement marks a new chapter in the lives of Jolie and Pitt, who can now begin to heal and move on from their tumultuous past. The couple’s fans and supporters will be relieved to hear that the divorce proceedings have finally come to an end, and they can now focus on their respective careers and personal lives.
In the years since their divorce, Jolie and Pitt have both been focused on their careers and personal well-being. Jolie has continued to act and produce films, while also focusing on her humanitarian work. Pitt has also continued to act and produce films, and has been open about his struggles with addiction and personal growth.
The settlement is a significant milestone in the lives of Jolie and Pitt, who can now begin to rebuild and move on from their past. The couple’s six children will also benefit from the settlement, as they will now have a more stable and secure home life. As Jolie and Pitt look to the future, they can do so with a sense of relief and closure, knowing that their divorce proceedings have finally come to an end.
