Brad Pitt speaks for first time about bitter divorce from Angelina Jolie being finalised
The Bullet Train and Tomb Raider stars ended the dispute with an agreement earlier this year.
Brad Pitt had spoken out for the first time on bitter divorce from Angelina Jolie. The Bullet Train and Tomb Raider stars ended the dispute with an agreement earlier this year
Pitt, 61, tied the knot with Jolie, now 49, in 2014 after a whirlwind romance that began on the set of the film Mr. and Mrs. Smith back in 2005. The pair finally parted ways in 2016. The high-profile split led Jolie to file for divorce in the same year.
A series of bitter disputes over custody and their business interests followed.
Discussing the closure of his divorce proceedings, Pitt said: "No, I don't think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally."
The legal wrangles between the pair have included battles over their six children and the division of their shared assets, such as the Château Miraval winery located in France.
They share six children: Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, both 16.
Currently, Brad is living in Los Angeles with his partner, 32-year-old jewellery executive Ines de Ramon, Pitt previously discussed the relentless media attention he's faced in an interview with GQ, when he said: "It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way."
When quizzed about whether their glamorous appearance at the 2024 British Grand Prix was a strategic move to promote his latest film F1, he dismissed the suggestion of any promotional intent.
He remarked: "No, dude, it's not that calculated. If you're living, oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you're living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve."
Reflecting on his personal life, Pitt shared: "Mostly I feel pretty... my life is fairly contained.
"It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it's like this fly buzzing around a little bit."
The actor, who was once married to Jennifer Aniston until their split in 2005, seems to have found a sense of peace amidst the chaos of fame.
When the divorce was finalised, Jolie's lawyer released a statement saying: "Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.'
Lawyer James Simon added to the Associated Press: "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.
'This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago.'

Oban racing star Susie Wolff says Netflix F1 documentary will help make history
Oban racing star Susie Wolff is paving the way for female representation on the Formula 1 grid through the launch of a new Netflix series. F1: The Academy goes behind the scenes as female drivers work towards earning a place on the starting grid. Wolff is the managing director of F1 Academy – a women-only racing league designed to develop and promote female talent in motorsport. Teaming up with Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon's production company Hello Sunshine, she hopes to end the stigma around the male-dominated sport. It has been almost 50 years since a woman competed in an F1 race. Late Italian driver Lella Lombardi was the last woman to make history during her appearance at the 1976 Austrian Grand Prix. She is the only woman to score points in a race, scoring half a point at the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix. Wolff, who is married to Mercedes F1 team boss Toto Wolff, is no stranger to the pressures facing females in the sport. The 42-year-old was a development driver for Williams and drove for the team during practice sessions at F1 races before retiring in 2015. She hopes change is around the corner, opening the door to fresh female talent. She said: 'Of course, I want to see a woman on the grid, and I think that will be inevitable when we get the building blocks in place that we know we have to do for long-term success and without a doubt, that will be a proud moment when we see a woman take to the grid. 'You know, there's only two spots in the grid per team, and it's very, very tough to get to Formula One, so we've got to make sure that we put the right steps in place that a woman has that chance in hopefully the not-too-distant future.' The docuseries will be hoping to replicate the global success achieved by the previous Drive to Survive series. The new Netflix series gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the trials and tribulations facing drivers and their prospective teams both on and off the grid. Wolff, who was born in Oban, hopes to inspire the next generation of female drivers. She added: 'The series is showing that the sport is no longer just a man's world because without Formula One, Formula One Academy wouldn't exist. 'We want to attract a new audience. We want to attract that next generation, the parents of the next generation, to challenge the idea that women can't be racing drivers, that it's an industry that's not really built for women. 'And I think by sharing these incredible human stories of these young drivers and their journeys, the challenges they faced, it really brings to life the fact that regardless of gender, there's an opportunity in the sport.' You can watch all seven episodes on Netflix.
