Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally closed the chapter on their tumultuous eight-year divorce saga.
The Hollywood power couple, once affectionately known as ‘Brangelina,’ settled. This marked the end of one of the longest and most contentious divorces in Hollywood history.
ANGELINA JOLIE’S DIVORCE
Angelina Jolie’s split from Pitt was marred by allegations of abuse, which she claims occurred during a private jet flight in 2016.
This incident marked a turning point, leading her to file for divorce, according to The Independent.
The years that followed were filled with legal battles over custody and property, including their prized French château and vineyard, Château Miraval.
“It’s hard for her to trust men after what she went through with Brad,” a source revealed.
Angelina Jolie hasn’t sworn off men entirely, but she’s not looking for anything serious right now. Her focus remains on her family and personal healing.
ANGELINA JOLIE’S FAMILY
Angelina Jolie, now 49, shares six children with Pitt: three biological (Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne) and three adopted (Maddox, Pax, and Zahara).
Her children have been her priority throughout the ordeal. A source close to Jolie noted that she feels “fulfilled” and is “content with her children and life.”
This sense of contentment is crucial as she navigates her new reality without Pitt.
Despite the divorce settlement, a significant dispute remains unresolved: the ownership of Château Miraval, according to The Standard.
LEGAL DISPUTES
Brad Pitt has accused Jolie of selling her stake in the winery without his consent, a move valued at approximately R1.2 billion (based on the reported $62 million).
This ongoing legal battle underscores the complexity of their separation.
Meanwhile, Brad Pitt, 61, has moved on with his life. He is reportedly happy with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, though there are no immediate plans for marriage.
Pitt’s new relationship highlights the different paths the former couple has taken since their split.
CAUTION AND ROMANCE
Angelina Jolie’s attorney, James Simon, described her as “exhausted” but relieved that this chapter is over, according to People.
“More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt.
Since that time, she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family,” Simon stated. As Jolie embarks on this new chapter, she remains cautious about romance.
“She doesn’t think she’ll ever get over the trauma of her relationship with Pitt,” a source revealed. Despite this, Jolie hasn’t ruled out dating entirely; she’s simply not ready for anything serious.
