Amid the back and forth with the children’s situation, the pair have also been involved in a battle regarding their winery, Château Miraval, which has led to multiple lawsuits filed against Jolie from Pitt in a bid to allegedly “protect his family.”
When discussing the separation publicly for the first time, Jolie told the Guardian that she’s not “the kind of person who makes decisions like the decisions I had to make lightly.”
“It took a lot for me to be in a position where I felt I had to separate from the father of my children,” she continued, before adding: “I mean, in some ways, it’s been the last decade. There’s a lot I can’t say.”
Now, eight years on, the pair have finally reached a settlement.
Jolie’s legal team stated that the star is “ready to move on” and finally close this chapter in her life.
“More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family,” Jolie’s lawyer James Simon said in a statement according to the New York Post.
“This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over,” the legal rep added.
A rep for Pitt declined to confirm or comment on the development, per the outlet.

While the divorce proceeding may be settled, the former superstar couple still have a court battle brewing tied to their French vineyard, which they bought back in 2008.
Pitt accused Jolie of selling her part of the vineyard without offering it to him first, which was allegedly part of an agreement between the two.
It comes after Jolie and Pitt met back in 2005 and officially tied the knot in 2014 before splitting two years later.
