Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt settle divorce but vineyard battle looms
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been appearing in court since 2016, dividing assets and fighting over the children while revealing the realities of their seemingly perfect marriage. According to American tabloids, they have finally managed to reach an agreement. However, there's a catch.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were once considered one of Hollywood's more harmonious couples. In 2016, two years after their wedding and nearly a decade after beginning their relationship, the actress filed a divorce petition in a Los Angeles court, citing "irreconcilable differences." Since then, more details have emerged, showing the relationship was not as flawless as it seemed. Documents from Jolie's lawsuit indicate that Pitt had allegedly abused the family.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt finally moving forward with divorce
Although, over the years, the estranged spouses have managed to agree on issues such as custody of the children, several matters have still prevented them from officially ending the marriage. However, after eight years of intense court battles, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally reached a divorce settlement. The "Daily Mail" reports that the actors officially signed divorce papers on Monday, 30th December. It should be noted, though, that the dispute over the Chateau Miraval vineyard in France is still ongoing. Both parties have reportedly stated that they are prepared to take the matter to a jury trial or mediation.
Angelina's solicitor, James Simon, told the "Daily Mail" that his client is "relieved this one part is over" in light of recent revelations.
Frankly, Angelina is exhausted - he added, continuing:
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, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family.
Source close to Angelina Jolie
A person close to the star reveals that Jolie has "been trying hard to be light after a dark time."
The source insists that the actress never cared for publicly airing dirty laundry.
The kids have grown up seeing that some people have so much power and privilege that their voices don't matter. Their pain doesn't count. They have wanted her to speak up for herself, to defend herself over these years but she reminds them to focus on changing laws over telling public stories.
"Page Six" reports that Brad's representative declined to comment on the matter.
