Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt reach divorce settlement: report

Famed actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie signed off on a divorce settlement Monday, according to People Magazine, marking a turning point in the eight-year legal saga.

Jolie's attorney, James Simon, confirmed the settlement to the publication, saying in a statement that Jolie was "focused on finding peace and healing for their family."

"This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago," Simon said. "Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over."

Once Hollywood's highest-profile couple, Jolie, filed to dissolve their marriage in September 2016, they remained locked in a court battle.

In 2018, the couple reached a custody arrangement of their six children, three of whom are adopted, though it appears to have since unraveled.

Pitt, 61, and Jolie, 49, have also been embroiled in a separate legal battle stemming from selling Jolie's share of Chateau Miraval, the southern French vineyard where the couple had their wedding.

Pitt and Jolie first met after co-starring as married assassins in the 2005 film 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith'. Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time.
