Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finalized their divorce settlement, concluding a protracted legal battle that lasted eight years. Jolie's lawyer confirmed the agreement, which marks the end of one of Hollywood's most contentious splits. The couple, who were together for nearly 12 years, had been embroiled in disputes over custody of their children and the ownership of Miraval Winery. Despite the settlement, some legal issues remain unresolved between them. Reports suggest that Pitt's current girlfriend, Inés de Ramón, played a significant role in encouraging him to settle the divorce, allowing him to move forward with his life. The divorce proceedings began when Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, citing irreconcilable differences, and have been characterized by public disputes and allegations, including accusations of abusive behavior by Pitt. The finalization of the divorce comes as both actors seek to move on from their tumultuous relationship.
