After a legal battle lasting more than eight years, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have settled their divorce.
According to Jolie’s lawyers, both parties signed the settlement on December 30.
“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, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family. This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over,” Jolie’s lawyer James Simon of Hersh Mannis told CNN Monday.
CNN has reached out to representatives for Pitt for comment.
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016.
Once one of Hollywood’s most glamorous couples, Jolie and Pitt were together about a decade and became parents of six before they married in 2014.
The length of their ongoing divorce can be attributed to a number of factors, including a contentious custody trial, fallout from a 2016 dispute on a private plane and a complicated legal dispute relating to Jolie’s sale of her stake in Château Miraval, the French winery they once co-owned and the property on which they were married.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the 2016 plane incident emerged in August 2022, when a heavily redacted FBI report, provided to CNN by a source at the time, revealed that Jolie had accused Pitt of physically assaulting her and verbally abusing their children while they were aboard the private jet, traveling to the US from France.
Pitt was never arrested or charged with any crimes, according to an FBI statement at the time.
