Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally settled their divorce, ending a long and difficult process. They agreed on how to divide their property and rights, but some legal issues remain.
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016 after an incident on a plane where she said Pitt was abusive. The FBI and child services looked into it but did not press charges. In 2019, a judge declared them divorced, but they still had to settle other matters like child custody.
The couple hired a private judge to help with the case, which kept many details private. At one point, the judge decided they would share custody of their children equally, but Jolie had the judge removed due to a conflict of interest, so they had to start over. Now, only two of their six children are minors, so custody is less of an issue.
A separate lawsuit between them involves a French winery they owned together. Jolie sold her part of the winery, and Pitt claims she did it without his consent. This lawsuit is still ongoing.
Both Jolie and Pitt have been quiet about their split publicly. Pitt admitted to having a drinking problem during the time of their separation but has since become sober.
They were both top Hollywood stars when they started dating in 2004 after working together on “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” Jolie won an Oscar for “Girl, Interrupted,” and Pitt won an Oscar for “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.”
Since the divorce, Jolie has focused on raising their children and continued acting and directing. She recently returned to the spotlight with her role as Maria Callas in the movie “Maria.”
