Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are officially divorced. They had a legal battle that lasted for 8 years. The power couple finalized their divorce papers on Monday, December 30.
Angelina Jolie’s lawyer James Simon told the Daily Mail that the actress is relieved to have reached this point. James Simon said, ‘To be honest, Angelina is exhausted.’
He says, ‘More than 8 years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Brad Pitt. She and the children gave up all the property she shared with Brad Pitt and since then she has been healing and searching for peace with her family.’
The divorce settlement has been finalized, but the former power couple remains embroiled in a legal dispute over the Chateau Miraval vineyard in France. Brad has accused Angelina of selling her stake in the winery to the Stoli Group without his consent. The Daily Mail reported that both have expressed a desire to resolve the matter through mediation or take the case to a jury trial.
A source said that Angelina Jolie is ‘trying her best to come to the light after a dark time. She does not speak ill of them publicly or privately. The children have grown up seeing that some people have so much power and privilege that their voices have no importance. Their pain does not matter.’
Angelina filed for divorce in 2016. She had alleged that Brad Pitt abused her and the children on a private jet flight while returning from Europe. In 2019, the judge declared Angelina divorced and single, but the case of property and custody of children was still pending.
