In a significant development in the drawn-out legal battle between Hollywood heavyweights Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, a Los Angeles judge has handed a procedural victory to the Fight Club actor.
On Wednesday, 17 December 2025—just one day before Pitt's 62nd birthday—the Superior Court ordered Jolie to surrender a cache of private messages she had previously fought to keep sealed. The ruling marks a potential turning point in the dispute over Château Miraval, the French vineyard the couple once shared, with Pitt's legal team hopeful that the correspondence will expose what they describe as Jolie's 'disingenuous' conduct regarding the sale of her stake.
