Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reached a divorce settlement, her lawyer said Monday, ending an eight-year-long contentious legal battle.
In a statement obtained by various media outlets including the Associated Press and the New York Times, Jolie’s attorney James Simon said the agreement is “just one part of a long ongoing process.”
“Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over,” he added.
News of the divorce was first reported by People magazine.
Jolie and Pitt signed off on a default declaration in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, saying they entered into a written agreement on their marital and property rights, according to the Associated Press.
The filing, which a judge will need to sign off on, says the two give up the right to any future spousal support, the AP reports.
Neither Simon nor a rep for Pitt have responded to The Hollywood Reporter‘s request for comment.
Pitt and Jolie, who have six children, married in 2014 after first meeting on the set of the 2025 movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Jolie filed for divorce in 2016 and later claimed that Pitt had physically abused her and their children during a private jet flight from Europe.
The divorce settlement doesn’t affect a separate legal dispute about a French winery, Chateau Miraval, that they owned. Pitt sued over Jolie’s sale of her half of the winery.
Jolie and Pitt used a private judge for their divorce proceedings, keeping many details of the legal back-and-forth under wraps.
But some information has been revealed through the Miraval lawsuit.
More to come.
