Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have officially reached a divorce settlement, eight years after their high-profile split. Despite their efforts to avoid publicly criticizing each other, their legal battle over a French estate and winery, Château Miraval, prolonged the process.
In February 2022, Pitt filed a lawsuit against Jolie over the sale of her stake in the estate. Jolie countersued, accusing Pitt of “waging a vindictive war against” her. After years of legal disputes, the former couple has finally reached an agreement.
Interestingly, the settlement comes just months after Pitt’s current girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, finalized her own divorce from Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley. Fans are speculating whether de Ramon played a role in Pitt’s decision to move forward and close this chapter of his life, reported Page Six.
According to People magazine, de Ramon is the head of wholesale for the Los Angeles-based jewelry brand Anita Ko Jewelry, whose celebrity clientele includes Hailey Bieber, Kourtney Kardashian, and Mandy Moore.
Pitt, 60, and de Ramon, 34, were first spotted together backstage at a Bono concert in Los Angeles in November 2022. Shortly after, a source told People that the couple had already “been dating for a few months.” Their relationship has since progressed, with the two reportedly moving in together and making their red carpet-debut.
As Pitt moves on in his personal life, the resolution of his long-standing divorce with Jolie marks a significant turning point. The eight-year journey to finalize their split was marked by complex legal battles and public scrutiny, particularly over Château Miraval, a property tied to both their business and personal lives.
The settlement brings closure to one of Hollywood’s most talked-about divorces, allowing both Jolie and Pitt to focus on their respective lives and future endeavors. For Pitt, his growing relationship with de Ramon signals a new chapter, while Jolie continues her focus on family and humanitarian efforts.
