Los Angeles, California – Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally come to a divorce settlement eight years after announcing the end of their 12-year relationship in 2016. After signing a default declaration in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the couple agreed to a written agreement on their marital and property rights, forgoing any future spousal financial support.

The highly publicized split, one of the longest and most contentious in Hollywood history, has been ongoing for years, overshadowing their two-year marriage. Jolie’s attorney mentioned that the divorce process has been exhausting for her, but she is relieved that this chapter is coming to a close. Pitt’s representatives declined to comment on the news of the settlement.

Using a private judge, Jolie and Pitt aimed to keep the details of their divorce out of the public eye, a common strategy among celebrity couples. The couple met while working on a film in 2005 and eventually tied the knot in 2014. However, the relationship took a turn in 2016, leading to Jolie filing for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

The couple’s divorce negotiations and counterclaims played out for months until they decided to handle the matter privately with the help of a private judge in 2017. Despite being legally declared single in 2019, Jolie later raised concerns about a previous private judge’s decision regarding their children, leading to the case being reevaluated.

Details about the couple’s private plane confrontation in 2016 resurfaced in a lawsuit filed by Jolie against the FBI, shedding light on their tumultuous relationship. Moreover, a lawsuit over their winemaking estate in France brought to the forefront more allegations from both parties, adding to the complexity of their ongoing legal battles.

Jolie, who hails from a background of acting royalty, has been through multiple divorces before Pitt, who was previously married to Jennifer Aniston. The settlement of Jolie and Pitt’s divorce brings an end to a chapter of their lives filled with public scrutiny, legal battles, and emotional turmoil, marking a new beginning for the Hollywood stars as they move forward separately.
