Brad Pitt Reflects on the Long Road to Finalizing Divorce from Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie , Brad PittIn a recent interview with GQ, Brad Pitt shared his thoughts on the finalization of his divorce from Angelina Jolie, marking the end of an eight-year-long legal saga. Last December, the former Hollywood power couple reached a settlement, bringing a legal conclusion to their high-profile split, which had its origins in Jolie's 2016 divorce filing. "No, I don't think it was that major of a thing", Pitt said, addressing whether he felt relieved by the conclusion. "Just something coming to fruition. Legally".
Pitt, 61, and Jolie, 49, met on the set of the 2005 film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and later married in 2014, after nearly a decade together. The couple shares six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne.
The journey to divorce was complicated by significant legal battles over the division of shared assets and custody arrangements for their children. Notably, the process included investigations and allegations after an incident on a private jet in 2016, which Jolie claimed involved abuse. However, the FBI closed the case without charges, and a separate child services investigation also found no wrongdoing.
Jolie’s lawyer highlighted that the lengthy process has been an exhausting one for her. "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", the lawyer stated.
Pitt, whose personal life has been a continuous subject of public speculation, remarked on the constant media attention, "It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way". Despite this, he maintains a sense of balance within his personal life, focusing on friends, family, and his own sense of identity.
As both actors move forward, Jolie focuses on advocacy and family, while Pitt continues his career in film, including his work on an upcoming racing movie, "F1". While the public continues to follow their story, both have expressed a desire for peace and privacy in their individual paths forward.
