According to multiple media sources, Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reached a divorce settlement, effectively bringing an end to one of the most high-profile and protracted celebrity splits in recent history. The couple, who married in 2014 and share six children, have been locked in a bitter legal battle since Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Key Details of the Settlement
- Marital and Property Rights: The settlement addresses the division of marital assets and property rights. Both parties have agreed to forgo any future spousal financial support, a move that ends years of financial disputes.
- Child Custody: With six children, four of whom are now adults, the custody arrangements for the younger two, aged 16, have been finalized. Joint custody, which was established in 2021, remains in place, allowing both parents to share responsibilities for their care.
Background
The divorce proceedings were marked by public disputes, including allegations of abuse from Jolie against Pitt following an incident on a private jet in 2016. While the FBI conducted an investigation, no charges were filed against Pitt. The couple’s separation has continued to capture public attention due to the intensity of their legal battles and the high stakes involved in their family matters.
Next Steps
Once approved by a judge, this settlement will officially end the divorce process. The resolution allows both Jolie and Pitt to move forward with their respective careers and personal lives, while also providing closure to one of the most widely covered divorces in Hollywood history.
The settlement signals a long-awaited conclusion to a chapter that has been the subject of extensive media coverage. It remains to be seen how this will impact both stars’ public images moving forward, though their individual careers have continued to thrive despite the turbulent legal battles.
