Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have officially brought their long-running legal battle to a close, finalizing their divorce settlement on December 30, 2024. The conclusion marks the end of an eight-year journey that has kept the former Hollywood power couple in the spotlight since Jolie filed for divorce in 2016.
From On-Screen Chemistry to Real-Life Romance
Jolie and Pitt’s love story began in 2003 while filming the action-packed movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Finding Strength in New Love
Pitt has found solace in his relationship with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon, who has been a steady source of support during the challenging legal proceedings. “Ines has been Brad’s rock,” a source said. “She brings him a sense of calm and helps him move forward.”
The insider added that Ines encourages Pitt to focus on peace and forgiveness as he embarks on this new chapter in his life.
