Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have officially finalized their divorce, concluding an intense and drawn-out legal battle that spanned eight years. The couple, once celebrated as “Brangelina,” were one of the most iconic pairs in Hollywood, sharing six children and a high-profile marriage that began in 2014.
Jolie initiated divorce proceedings in 2016, citing irreconcilable differences and alleged incidents of abuse. During the court process, it emerged that Jolie accused Pitt of abusive behavior toward her and two of their children on a private jet that year. Following an investigation, Pitt was not charged, and he has consistently denied the allegations.
Jolie’s lawyer, James Simon, told People magazine that his client has prioritized the well-being and healing of her family throughout the ordeal. “This is just part of a long process that began eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted. But she is relieved that this chapter is finally closed,” he stated.
Pitt’s legal team has not publicly commented on the divorce settlement. However, reports suggest the protracted case was marred by disputes, with Pitt accusing Jolie of sabotaging his business ventures and Jolie reportedly engaging in what some labeled a “war of revenge” against her former husband.
The couple’s relationship, once hailed as a fairy-tale romance, has largely faded from public discussion over the years. When their split was first reported in 2016, they issued a joint statement asking for privacy, but the subsequent legal battle drew considerable attention.
As the saga concludes, both actors appear focused on moving forward, albeit separately, with their lives and careers. For Jolie, the end of this legal chapter marks a moment of relief, while Pitt continues to navigate the challenges of maintaining his career and family ties amidst the fallout.
