Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Reach Divorce Settlement After More Than 8 Years of Intense Legal Fighting (Exclusive)
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reached a settlement in their divorce eight years after the Maria star filed to end their two-year marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.
Jolie, 49, and Pitt, 61, signed off on their divorce on Monday, Dec. 30, according to Jolie's lawyers.
“More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family," Jolie's lawyer James Simon tells PEOPLE in a statement. "This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over."
A source close to Jolie adds, "She doesn’t speak ill of [Pitt] publicly or privately. She’s been trying hard to be light after a dark time."
A rep for Pitt declined to confirm or comment.

They have been involved in a bitter dispute over Chateau Miraval, a sprawling property which they bought together in for a reported 25 million euros (£m) and where their wedding would eventually take place.
In , Pitt accused Jolie of selling her stake in the property to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler - a drinks industry magnate who owns, among other brands, Stolichnaya vodka - without his knowledge in order to deliberately damage his wine investment.
