Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally reached a settlement in their divorce.

Bringing an end to a bitter legal battle that has spanned over eight years.

However, one key issue remains unresolved: the ownership of their $62 million French chateau and vineyard, dubbed the “War of the Rosés.”

Jolie’s attorney, James Simon, emphasized the emotional toll of the drawn-out proceedings. “Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over,” Simon said. The agreement now awaits a judge’s final approval.

However, the settlement does not cover all ongoing disputes, particularly a lawsuit concerning the sale of their French winery, Chateau Miraval, which remains unresolved.

A Look Back at the Legal Struggles

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, once celebrated as a Hollywood power couple, were together for 12 years, including two years of marriage. They share six children, and the custody of these children was a major point of contention in the divorce proceedings.

Jolie filed for divorce following an alleged incident on a private flight from Europe, during which she accused Pitt of abusive behavior. Although the FBI and child services conducted investigations, no charges were brought against Pitt. Despite this, the incident cast a long shadow over their separation.

The custody battle became increasingly complex after a private judge initially granted them equal custody. Jolie successfully appealed for the judge’s removal, citing a conflict of interest, which invalidated his earlier decision. The process was restarted, further delaying the divorce resolution.

Why Did Angelina Jolie Divorce Brad Pitt?

Speculation surrounding the reasons for Angelina Jolie’s decision to divorce Brad Pitt has persisted for years. Allegations of substance abuse, coupled with the infamous plane incident, played a central role in the narrative. In interviews, Pitt has acknowledged his struggles with alcohol during that period, stating that he has since achieved sobriety and sought therapy.

Jolie, for her part, has consistently prioritized the well-being of her children. Her legal filings suggest that she was conflicted about pursuing criminal charges against Pitt, opting instead to focus on healing and stability for the family.
