How the Divorce Was a Complicated Story

The couple was together for almost a decade before marrying in 2014, but separated only two years later, stating “irreconcilable differences.” They have six kids together — Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. Their divorce was settled in 2019, but arguments over property and custody issues have dragged on for years.

Yet, because of their joint wealth, Jolie is reportedly declining to take any spousal or family support from Pitt. But their legal woes are far from over. An outstanding point of contention is their joint French estate and winery Château Miraval. Jolie countersued, claiming Pitt sold off his share, unauthorized by her.

Moving On

Both stars are moving on to the next chapters in their lives. The 60-year-old Pitt has been quietly dating jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, going public with their romance at the Venice Film Festival last month. The Oscar winner, 49, is busy with work and raising her kids.

Although this brings an end to their marriage, there are currently pending legal issues that Jolie and Pitt will likely have to continue to work with one another on. Both of them, for now, seem to be prepared to move on with their lives.
