After nearly a decade of legal challenges, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reached a resolution in their long-running divorce case. The former couple, who share six children—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox—have officially settled their divorce, marking the end of a lengthy and complex legal process that began in 2016 when Jolie filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

Angelina’s attorney, James Simon, confirmed the settlement, stating in a statement to NBC News, “More than 8 years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time, she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family.” Simon went on to say that while Angelina is “exhausted,” she is also “relieved” that this phase of the legal battle has come to an end.

Brad Pitt’s team did not respond to requests for comment from NBC News, and as of now, both parties have refrained from publicly commenting on the terms of the settlement.

The couple’s legal disputes spanned several years, including ongoing custody battles for their children, the ownership of their French estate and vineyard, Château Miraval, and a contentious lawsuit in which Jolie accused Pitt of physical abuse during a 2016 flight. Brad Pitt has consistently denied these abuse allegations, and after an investigation, no charges were filed.

In November 2016, the FBI concluded its investigation into the alleged incident, stating that it would not pursue any further legal action. Later, in 2023, Jolie dropped a lawsuit against the Department of Justice and the FBI, seeking the release of documents related to the investigation into the alleged abuse. The dismissal of this case was finalized in September 2023.

This settlement finally brings an end to the legal battles that have dominated headlines for years, offering a sense of closure for both parties. Although their marriage ended in 2016, the couple’s legal struggles continued throughout the years, with both stars prioritizing the well-being of their children amidst the complex proceedings.

With the divorce now officially settled, Brad and Angelina can move forward with their separate lives, focusing on their respective careers and family life while continuing to co-parent their children. The conclusion of this legal saga allows both stars to step into a new chapter, away from the public scrutiny that has followed them for so long.
