In the latest development of the high-profile divorce between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, reports suggest that the years-long bitter legal battle is finally drawing to a close. Sources close to the couple have revealed that Brad, who initially sought shared custody of their children, has now abandoned his pursuit, signaling a major shift in their ongoing negotiations.
The couple, who have been embroiled in a tumultuous courtroom showdown since their separation in 2016, are said to be nearing the conclusion of their protracted legal war. An insider indicated that an agreement may be reached by the summer, marking the end of what has been a highly contentious divorce process.
While Brad, aged 60, had initially pushed for a 50/50 custody arrangement concerning their six children, recent reports suggest that he has ceased contesting the matter. This means that Angelina, aged 48, will likely retain primary physical custody of the children, with Brad having visitation rights.
One contributing factor to this decision is the age of their children, with most of them having reached adulthood or approaching that milestone. Only three of their children—Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne—are under 18, and Shiloh is set to turn 18 in May.
The older children—Maddox, Pax, and Zahara—have reportedly had strained relationships with Brad, with allegations of parental alienation surfacing in their interactions. Reports suggest that tensions between Brad and the children escalated following an infamous private plane incident that marked a turning point in Brad and Angelina’s marriage.
Despite the legal battles, both parties have been engaged in other disputes, including over their former joint ownership of a French winery called Chateau Miraval. The vineyard-related legal issues, coupled with the custody battle, have made headlines for years, adding to the complexity of their divorce proceedings.
While the details of the final settlement remain undisclosed, observers anticipate a resolution in the near future as Brad and Angelina work towards ending their lengthy and acrimonious divorce saga.
