Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have officially finalized their divorce after an eight-year legal battle. According to a statement from Jolie's lawyer, James Simon, the final settlement was signed on December 30, 2024. Although the details of the agreement remain private, Simon described Jolie as "exhausted" but "relieved" as she continued to focus on healing and maintaining peace for her family.
Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, and the couple was declared legally single in April 2019. Since then, Jolie has prioritized her children's well-being and has worked to move forward from the turbulent separation. Simon stated that while this marks the conclusion of one phase, other legal matters between the two remain unresolved.
In 2022, Jolie publicly accused Pitt of mistreating her and their children during a flight in 2016, claiming he became physically violent. Despite these allegations, Pitt was not charged after a police investigation.
The divorce process, which has been ongoing for years, has been a highly publicized and emotionally draining chapter for both stars. Now, with the settlement finalized, Jolie hopes to close this difficult chapter and continue focusing on her family’s future.
