Hollywood's Iconic Split: Jolie and Pitt's Divorce Finalized

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finalized their divorce, concluding one of Hollywood's most watched celebrity breakups. This brings closure to a prolonged eight-year process initiated by Jolie citing irreconcilable differences, with a contentious custody battle over their six children occupying much of the period.

After eight years of legal proceedings, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finalized their divorce, her lawyer confirmed. The Hollywood power couple's split has been one of the most highly scrutinized in recent memory, drawing considerable media attention since Jolie filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

The legal battle largely centered around the custody of their six children, once aged 8 to 15. While Jolie aimed for full physical custody, the final agreement allows for equal custody, a decision initially mediated by a private judge. Throughout this legal saga, both actors faced accusations of media manipulation to sway public opinion.

Known for their iconic collaboration in 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith,' Jolie and Pitt's off-screen romance began in the mid-2000s. Despite facing numerous challenges, Jolie remains focused on moving forward, as shared by a source close to her. The confidential settlement details have not been disclosed.
