Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have finally put an end to their long and drawn-out divorce proceedings, bringing closure to a chapter that has spanned over 8 years. According to new court documents obtained by TMZ, Angelina officially signed off on their divorce on Christmas Day and filed the paperwork just recently, with her opting out of spousal and family support from Brad. While the documents did not outline any specific agreements regarding their 6 children, it is important to note that only 2 of the children, twins Knox and Vivienne, are minors.
The former power couple, affectionately known as “Brangelina” in the media, had been hinting at a resolution earlier in the year when their legal teams exchanged final financial disclosures, a sign that a final resolution was on the horizon. This comes after Angelina filed for divorce back in September 2016, citing irreconcilable differences at the time.
Although they were only officially married for 2 years before parting ways, Brad and Angelina had been together for almost a decade as domestic partners prior to tying the knot. Their relationship began in 2004 while filming “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” but it wasn’t until 2005 that they publicly confirmed their romance.
The couple quickly expanded their family, welcoming six children into their home. However, their relationship took a tumultuous turn when Angelina accused Brad of physically abusing at least one of their children following their separation. Despite Brad denying the claims and being cleared of any wrongdoing by authorities, the issue has continued to linger in their ongoing legal battles.
In 2019, Brad and Angelina were declared legally single by a judge as their divorce case dragged on. In addition to their divorce proceedings, the exes are also embroiled in a legal dispute over their French winery. Brad sued Angelina after she sold her share of the winery without his consent, leading to a complex legal battle that has yet to be resolved.
With their divorce now finalized, it remains to be seen how their winery case will unfold. Hopefully, with this chapter closed, the legal drama between Brad and Angelina will come to a peaceful resolution. Only time will tell how their story will continue to unfold.
