Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have officially concluded their divorce, bringing an end to a lengthy eight-year legal battle that started in 2016 when Jolie filed for separation. The divorce settlement was finalized on December 30, 2024, marking the end of a tumultuous chapter for the former couple, who were married for two years but had a decade-long relationship.
The settlement resolves the divorce but leaves unresolved issues concerning their French vineyard, Chateau Miraval, which has been a point of contention. Jolieβs lawyer, James Simon, mentioned that while Jolie felt “relieved,” she was also “exhausted” by the extended legal proceedings. He emphasized her focus on healing and providing peace for her family, as she left all shared properties to Pitt.
With the legal matters behind him, Pitt is reportedly ready to move forward. Sources have indicated that he plans to marry jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, whom he began dating in November 2022. The completion of the divorce is seen as a step towards future plans, including mending relationships with his six children. However, itβs worth noting that three of his children have removed “Pitt” from their surnames since the divorce, highlighting the challenges ahead in restoring these familial bonds.
De Ramon is said to be eager to start a family with Pitt and reportedly encouraged him to expedite the divorce process so they could focus on their future together. This high-profile divorce highlights the difficulties of managing personal and legal challenges in the public eye. Both Pitt and Jolie are now seeking to move on separately, with Jolie concentrating on family healing and Pitt looking to embrace new beginnings.
