Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's divorce was finalised in December 2024, eight years after papers were initially filed. The former couple, who were together for twelve years, ended their marriage in 2016 but their lengthy legal battle included disputes over the custody arrangements related to their six children, as well as the ongoing lawsuits over their French winery, Chateau Miraval.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2024, Angelina explained that she only remained in Los Angeles due to the conditions of her custody agreement with Brad. As part of the arrangement, Angelina shared that although she sees LA as lacking 'humanity', she had to live close to her ex-husband while their children were minors. She told the publication: "I am here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they’re 18, I’ll be able to leave. When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety."
