Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie have finally closed the book on their divorce after taking more than 8 years to sort things out… TMZ has learned.
In new court documents obtained by TMZ, Angelina signed off on their long-running divorce on Christmas Day and filed the paperwork on Monday … with Angie renouncing Brad’s support for her husband and family. The documents don’t contain an agreement regarding the former flames’ six children together… but only two of the children, twins Knox and Vivienne, are minors.
The ex-A couple – known in the press as ‘Brangelina’ – settled their controversial divorce after hinting earlier this year that the end was near… as their respective legal teams exchanged the latest financial disclosures – which is something that usually happens shortly before the divorcing parties reach a final solution.
And it was about time, because Angie filed for divorce in September 2016, citing irreconcilable differences at the time.
Although they were only married for two years before splitting, they had been domestic partners for almost a decade before tying the knot… so yeah, they’d been together for a long time.
Brad and Angelina first met in 2004 while making the big screen remake “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” But – since Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston at the time – the pair didn’t get together as an official couple until 2005.
Brad quickly moved in with Angie amid news of his divorce and eventually welcomed six children into their family, including Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne.
Shortly after Angie filed for divorce, she accused Brad of physically abusing at least one of his children, although he always denied the claims and was later cleared by authorities in an investigation. Angie continued to litigate in the years that followed.
In 2019, the exes were declared legally single by a judge… as their divorce case dragged on. However, their divorce proceedings aren’t Brad and Angelina’s only legal drama. Don’t forget, they’re also in the middle of a nasty lawsuit over their French winery.
BA sued AJ after she sold her share of their winery to a Russian oligarch’s company without his permission, which he said was a no-no. While Brad recently scored a legal victory in this case, the situation is far from over… lately they’ve been going back and forth over NDA claims.
Now that the divorce is over, you have to imagine that the winery case might follow suit…or so you would hope. To be continued…
