Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have finalized their divorce settlement after an eight-year legal battle, their lawyers confirmed to The New York Times and BBC.
“Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over,” Jolie’s lawyer James Simon told the New York Times, calling it “just one part of a long, ongoing process.”
The settlement, whose terms remain private, follows years of disputes over child custody, property division, and allegations of abuse.
The couple split in 2016 when Jolie filed for divorce, just two years after their wedding.
The contentious proceedings included a fight over their French vineyard and allegations that Pitt assaulted Jolie and two children on a 2016 flight, claims Pitt denied and the FBI declined to investigate.
Pitt won joint custody in 2021 after a judge accused Jolie of limiting children’s contact with their father.
But the tension between the former Hollywood power couple hasn’t stopped despite the settlement. Their 18-year-old daughter Shiloh recently petitioned to drop Pitt’s name.
Overall, the couple share six children: Maddox, 23; Pax, 21; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
