Wed Jan 08 08:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Brangelina Divorce Finally Finalized After Eight Years

**Los Angeles, CA** – After eight years of legal battles, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have officially finalized their divorce, according to Jolie’s legal team. The announcement, made on December 30th, brings an end to one of Hollywood’s most protracted and highly publicized separations.

Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. The proceedings were complicated by a private plane incident in which Jolie alleged Pitt was abusive towards her and their six children. While Pitt was never charged, the incident significantly impacted the divorce proceedings.

The couple initially agreed to keep details of their divorce confidential, utilizing a private judge. However, years of legal wrangling ensued, primarily focused on custody arrangements and the contentious issue of Château Miraval, their $164 million French estate and winery. This dispute involved lawsuits and countersuits, with both sides leveling serious accusations. Pitt sued Jolie over her sale of her stake in Miraval, while Jolie countered, alleging a vindictive campaign by Pitt to seize control.

While the divorce itself is now finalized, legal battles concerning Château Miraval continue. Recent court decisions have seen both Jolie and Pitt achieve partial victories, with the case potentially heading to trial. Despite the ongoing legal disputes surrounding their shared property, Jolie’s legal team stated that she is “relieved this one part is over.” A representative for Pitt declined to comment. The couple have been legally single since 2019, and have largely maintained a public silence on the divorce proceedings, focusing on their children.
