Brad Pitt breaks silence on Angelina Jolie divorce settlement
After nearly a decade of legal wrangling, Hollywood star Brad Pitt has finally opened up about his long-standing divorce from Angelina Jolie. The 61-year-old actor spoke candidly to GQ magazine on 28 May, offering a rare glimpse into the closure of one of Tinseltown's most high-profile splits. When asked if the December 2024 divorce settlement brought him any relief, Pitt kept it cool and understated. 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing,' he told GQ. 'Just something coming to fruition. Legally.' Brad Pitt's words suggest that the conclusion of the divorce was more a formality than an emotional milestone, according to USA Today. This comes after an eight-year court battle that captivated fans worldwide. Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, ending a relationship that began over a decade earlier on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith . The legal saga included disputes over their shared properties, custody of their six children, and the finances of their winery, Château Miraval. Angelina's lawyer described the settlement as a relief for the actress. 'Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over,' said James Simon. '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.' Brad Pitt also addressed his new relationship with Ines de Ramon, which became public at the 2024 British Grand Prix. He dismissed any suggestion that the appearance was a calculated move. 'No, dude, it's not that calculated,' he said. 'If you're living — oh my God, how exhausting would that be? Life just evolves. Relationships evolve.' Brad Pitt's recent work on the film F1 has reignited his passion for acting. Filmed in front of real Formula 1 crowds worldwide, the movie promises to be a thrilling ride. 'It just reinvigorated the whole thing again for me,' Pitt shared. The film, set for release on 27 June, has been hailed by GQ as 'the greatest racing movie of all time.' Co-stars and director Joseph Kosinski praised Pitt's dedication and energy throughout the shoot. The children of Pitt and Jolie are also making headlines. Their daughter Shiloh legally dropped 'Pitt' from her name in May 2024, becoming Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. Vivienne followed suit, removing 'Pitt' from her Playbill credit for the Broadway musical The Outsiders . This shift reflects the ongoing personal changes within the family, even as the legal battles fade into the past. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
