Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Finalize Divorce Settlement

Famed actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie signed agreed on a divorce settlement Monday, according to People Magazine, marking a turning point in the eight-year legal saga.

Jolie’s attorney, James Simon, confirmed the deal to the publication, stating that Jolie was “focused on finding peace and healing for their family.”

This is just one component of a long-running process that began eight years ago,” Simon explained. “Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.”

Jolie, formerly Hollywood’s most famous couple, filed for divorce in September 2016, and the two have been embroiled in a legal battle ever since.

The couple agreed on custody for their six children, three of whom are adopted, in 2018, but it appears to have unraveled since then.

Pitt, 61, and Jolie, 49, are also mired in a separate legal struggle over the sale of Jolie’s stake of Chateau Miraval, the southern French vineyard where the pair married.

Pitt and Jolie initially met while co-starring as married assassins in the 2005 film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time.
