After eight years of legal filings and acrimonious accusations, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally reached a divorce settlement. Jolie’s lawyer confirmed the news, stating that she had filed for divorce from Pitt over eight years ago and had focused on finding peace and healing for their family since then. The couple, known as Brangelina, became one of the most high-profile couples in Hollywood when they got together after co-starring in “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” They were legally separated but still technically married until the settlement was reached.
The divorce proceedings played out in the public eye, with accusations of financial issues, lack of child support, and allegations of physical and verbal abuse. In 2016, Jolie accused Pitt of physical abuse on a flight, prompting divorce proceedings. However, no criminal charges were filed against Pitt, and investigations by the FBI and the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services were closed.
Despite the lengthy and contentious legal battle, the couple has now reached a settlement, bringing an end to this chapter of their lives. Jolie’s lawyer expressed her relief that this part of the process is over and described Jolie as exhausted. It is unclear what the terms of the settlement are, but this marks the end of a long and tumultuous divorce between two Hollywood stars.
