After years of intense legal battles, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have officially reached a settlement in their long-running divorce proceedings. A source close to Jolie has revealed that the actress is hopeful the settlement will bring an end to the public attacks from Pitt, allowing both parties to move forward in peace.
Divorce Settlement Finalized on December 31, 2024
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott J. Nord approved the divorce settlement on December 31, 2024, officially bringing closure to their years-long legal battle. The settlement was signed by both Jolie and Pitt, marking the end of a divorce process that began in 2016 when Jolie filed for separation after 12 years of dating and two years of marriage. The couple, once a Hollywood power duo, cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split.
As part of the agreement, both Jolie and Pitt have waived their rights to any future spousal financial support, a decision that reflects the conclusion of their financial and emotional entanglements.
Jolie’s Hope for Peace After Years of Conflict
According to a source close to Jolie, the actress is optimistic that, with the divorce finally settled, Pitt will cease what she perceives as “attacks” against her. These “attacks” have reportedly included a pattern of “never-ending distortion of facts,” which the source claims has caused significant emotional damage to their family.
The source added that this behavior, marked by “projecting their own behavior onto others,” has impacted not only Jolie and Pitt but also those close to them, including their children. Now that the divorce battle has officially ended, Jolie hopes these tensions will dissipate, and she can focus on moving forward without further conflict.
The Ongoing Dispute Over the French Winery
A contentious aspect of the divorce has been the couple’s business dealings, most notably their shared ownership of the French winery, Château Miraval. Jolie was accused of breaching their agreement when she sold her half of the winery to a third party, prompting Pitt’s legal team to describe it as a deliberate “attack” on him.
A source close to Brad Pitt claimed that this was a clear example of Jolie’s behavior, accusing her of undermining their mutual interests. The source argued that Jolie chose to sell her share of the winery to a “total stranger,” despite previously agreeing to negotiate a buyout with Pitt to keep the business within the family. This decision, the source argued, was made to “punish” Pitt, as it disrupted their vision for the future of Miraval, which had grown in value over the years.
A Hopeful Path Forward for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Despite the years of legal wrangling, both Jolie and Pitt now appear to be seeking a resolution to their complicated relationship. Jolie’s source expressed hope that with the divorce settled, she and Pitt can finally put the past behind them and focus on their respective futures.
The lengthy divorce process has certainly taken a toll on the couple, and it seems that both sides are eager to move on. As they continue to co-parent their children, the hope is that this settlement will provide the closure they both need to finally move past their tumultuous relationship.
Conclusion: The End of a Long Divorce Battle
The settlement reached between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt signifies the end of a chapter in their highly publicized divorce saga. While there have been accusations and counterclaims along the way, both parties now seem ready to focus on their own futures and, hopefully, avoid further public conflict. For Jolie, the hope is that this legal conclusion will bring peace to her and her family, allowing her to leave the past behind.
