Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt reach divorce settlement after bitter eight-year legal battle – as star left ‘exhausted’
BRAD Pitt and Angelina Jolie have agreed to a divorce settlement after their bitter eight-year legal battle – but it’s not over yet.
Pitt and Jolie officially signed off on their divorce paperwork yesterday.
But the fight over a French chateau and vineyard they once jointly owned is still dragging on.
Jolie’s lawyer James Simon said: “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.
“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.”
The divorced couple remain locked in a legal battle over Château Miraval vineyard in France.
Pitt alleged Jolie sold her $62 million stake of the winery to the Stoli Group without his approval.
Both sides are reportedly willing to take the Miraval case to a jury trial or mediation.
Jolie first filed to end the marriage in September 2016, just two years after tying the knot.
The couple had been together for 10 years before deciding to get married.
Jolie claimed in court filings that Pitt had a “history of physical abuse”.
It was alleged that Pitt became physically abusive on a private jet with Jolie and their six children.
Jolie also claimed Pitt tired to make her sign a $8.5million (£6.8million) NDA to cover up his “years of abuse”.
Pitt has always denied the abuse claims, and was cleared by cops following a probe.
The couple were declared legally single in 2019, despite their ongoing divorce battle.
Pitt, 61, has been dating Los Angeles jewellery designer Ines de Ramon, 34, for almost two years.
Angelina, 49, has been snapped on dates with British rapper Akala, 40.
