The long-awaited divorce between Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has finally been finalized after eight years of contentious legal proceedings. This protracted legal battle, involving one of Hollywood’s most iconic couples, has captivated public attention and generated significant media coverage.
The former couple, with an estimated combined net worth of $520 million, has reached a confidential settlement agreement covering the division of their substantial assets and child custody arrangements for their six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne.
The divorce proceedings have been marked by a series of high-profile legal maneuvers and public accusations. Notably, several of their children have reportedly chosen to drop “Pitt” from their last names, a significant symbolic gesture reflecting the complexities and emotional strain of the family’s separation.
Sources close to Brad Pitt have expressed disappointment over the outcome, alleging that Angelina Jolie prioritized her own financial interests over the well-being of their children. One source claimed, “She’s going to make Miraval the center of everything,” referring to the couple’s renowned French winery, and added, “She’s been battling it for years and now she’s selling it off to the highest bidder.” This suggests a deeply entrenched power struggle and a focus on financial gain over familial considerations.
The finalization of this high-profile divorce brings to a close a tumultuous chapter in the lives of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. While the specific terms of their settlement remain confidential, the impact of this protracted legal battle on their children, their respective careers, and their public image will undoubtedly continue to be felt for years to come.
