A Long Legal Battle Comes to an End
After an exhausting eight years of legal battles, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have officially finalized their divorce. The former Hollywood power couple, who first announced their separation in 2016, have now reached the final stages of their divorce settlement, bringing an end to a highly publicized and emotionally taxing chapter in their lives.
Jolie’s lawyer, James Simon, expressed a mix of relief and exhaustion following the conclusion of the lengthy legal proceedings. “Frankly, Angelina is exhausted,” Simon shared, as the actress can now put behind her a turbulent period of family turmoil. The settlement was finalized on December 30, 2024, officially ending the dispute that has defined much of the couple’s post-marriage relationship.
Angelina Jolie: A Yearning for Peace and Healing
More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, citing irreconcilable differences. Since then, she and their children have moved out of the properties they had once shared, and Jolie has concentrated on healing, focusing on her family and personal well-being. The prolonged battle was not just legal, but emotional, as both sides navigated the challenges of co-parenting their children while dealing with public scrutiny.
Jolie’s attorney reflected on the years of struggle, noting that her primary goal during this entire ordeal was to find peace for herself and her family. With the divorce now settled, it seems that the actress can finally begin to close this chapter of her life, turning her attention to the future.
Vineyard Feud Lingers
However, the end of their divorce settlement does not mark the end of all conflicts between the former couple. The two are still embroiled in a bitter legal dispute over their shared vineyard, the Chateau Miraval, located in France. This vineyard, which the couple had once hoped to turn into a wine-producing business, is now at the heart of a legal battle.
Brad Pitt has accused Angelina Jolie of selling her stake in the winery to the Stoli Group without his consent. This sale has sparked a significant rift, and the dispute has only intensified over time. While both Jolie and Pitt have expressed a willingness to resolve the issue, they are currently at an impasse. The matter could either be settled through mediation or taken to a jury trial, depending on how negotiations unfold in the coming months.
Despite this lingering tension, the completion of their divorce paperwork signifies a moment of closure for the pair. Both parties have seemingly agreed to move forward, but it’s clear that their legal struggles aren’t entirely over.
