Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reached a divorce settlement after a bitter 8-year battle

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reached an agreement on their divorce after a grueling and highly publicized eight-year legal battle.

Jolie's attorney, James Simon, told Fox News Digital that the 61-year-old actress and the 49-year-old actress signed their divorce on Monday.

“More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt,” Simon said in a statement. “She and the children left all the properties they shared with Mr. Pitt, and since then she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family. This is part of a long ongoing process that began eight years ago. Honestly, Angelina is tired, but relieved that one part is over.”

A source close to the matter told Fox News Digital that, “He doesn't talk bad about himself in public or in private. He was trying hard to recover from a dark time.”

“Children grow up to see that other people have so much power and privilege that their words mean nothing,” added the insider. “Their pain is immeasurable. They wanted him to speak up and defend himself at this age, but he is reminding them to focus on changing laws instead of talking about public issues.”

A representative for Pitt declined to comment on the settlement.

Jolie and Pitt met on the set of their 2004 movie “Mr and Mrs. The couple became a tabloid fixture for their relationship, earning the moniker “Brangelina.”

In August 2014, the former couple tied the knot at their French vineyard, Château Miraval.

The two gave birth to sons Maddox, Pax and Knox, 16, and daughters Zahara, Shiloh and Vivienne.

In 2016, the actor filed for divorce after accusing Pitt of abusing her and their children during an argument on a private plane. Pitt denied the allegations, and no charges were brought against him after the FBI launched an investigation in 2016.

A judge in 2019 declared Jolie and Pitt divorced and unmarried, but property division and child custody must be resolved separately.

Soon after, the independent jury the two hired to handle the case reached a verdict that included equal custody of their children, but Jolie filed a motion to be dismissed due to an unreported conflict of interest. The appeals court agreed, removed the judge and vacated his decision. The former couple had to start the process from scratch.

During the long divorce battle, four of their children became adults, ignoring the need for a custody agreement. The only children left are 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. In June, Shiloh, then known as Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, successfully petitioned to have Pitt's name removed from her surname.

To settle the matter out of court, Pitt asked Jolie to reverse the sale of her stake in Miraval to Yuri Shefler.

The former couple bought a control pole Château Miraval in 2008 and spent time at home throughout their relationship. Jolie attempted to sell her company, Nouvel, to Tenute Del Mondo, a subsidiary of the Stoli Group, in 2021, effectively transferring her 50% ownership interest to Miraval. Pitt contested the sale, saying the move violated the agreement between the two.
