Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Settle Divorce After 8 Years

After nearly a decade of legal wrangling, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have officially reached a divorce settlement, concluding one of Hollywood's most drawn-out and high-profile splits.

Jolie’s attorney confirmed the resolution in a statement to Reuters, marking the end of an emotionally charged chapter in their lives.

The Oscar-winning actress initially filed for divorce in 2016, citing irreconcilable differences from Pitt, her husband of two years and partner since 2005. Over the years, their tumultuous relationship became regular tabloid fodder, with reports of custody battles, legal disputes, and media manipulation dominating headlines.

“This is just one part of a long, ongoing process that began eight years ago,” said Jolie's lawyer, James Simon. “Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she’s relieved this chapter is over.”

The settlement’s specifics remain undisclosed, and Pitt’s representatives have yet to issue a statement.

A Long Road to Resolution

Jolie, who sought full physical custody of their six children following the divorce filing, faced a protracted custody dispute with Pitt. The battle saw both parties hurl accusations, with Pitt even undergoing and clearing a child abuse investigation.

Ultimately, a private judge awarded joint custody of their children. Sources close to Jolie revealed that the actress has been focused on maintaining a positive outlook despite the years-long ordeal. “She’s been trying hard to stay light after such a dark time,” one insider shared.

Hollywood’s Power Couple, No More

Jolie and Pitt’s romance began on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, sparking rumors of an affair while Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston. Their relationship quickly became a media sensation, with the pair eventually marrying in 2014.

Over the years, their philanthropic efforts and blended family of six children captured the public’s imagination, making their split all the more shocking.

Jolie, who won an Academy Award for Girl, Interrupted, has previously been married to Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton. Pitt, an Oscar-winning actor and producer, was married to Aniston before his relationship with Jolie.

As this chapter closes, both actors seem poised to focus on their individual paths, leaving behind a story that captivated Hollywood and beyond.
