Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reach divorce settlement following bitter 8-year-long legal battle

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reached a settlement in their divorce, ending a bitter eight-year legal battle.

The Hollywood duo officially signed divorce papers on Monday, December 30.

Divorce lawyer James Simon told DailyMail.com that Jolie is “relieved that this one part is over.”

“Honestly, Angelina is exhausted,” he said.

‘More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left behind all the property they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family.”

A source with knowledge of the situation added that Jolie “has done his best to be light after a dark time.”

“She doesn’t speak badly about him either publicly or privately,” the insider said.

‘The children have grown up knowing that some people have so much power and privilege that their voice does not matter. Their pain doesn’t count.

“They have wanted her to stand up and defend herself over the years, but she reminds them that they need to focus on changing laws rather than telling public stories.”

This is a breaking news story. There’s more to come.
