Angelina Jolie’s divorce from Brad Pitt has become a complex and challenging process, especially for their six children, who have learned valuable lessons throughout the ongoing legal battle. A close source reveals that the kids have witnessed firsthand how some individuals hold so much power and privilege that their voices and pain often go unheard. Their desire for their mother to defend herself has been clear over the years.
However, Jolie’s response has always been to encourage her children to focus on more significant goals, such as changing laws, rather than engaging in public disputes or personal stories. This sentiment reflects her long-term dedication to peace and healing for her family, despite the personal struggles she’s faced.
Jolie’s divorce filing came in September 2016, marking the end of a marriage that lasted just two years. The couple shares six children: Maddox (23), Pax (21), Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Although the two have been legally single since November 2019, their battle over custody and their shared French winery, Château Miraval, has remained a central focus.
After years of contentious legal battles, Us Weekly confirmed on December 30, 2024, that the divorce was finally settled. Jolie’s lawyer, James Simon, commented that the settlement marks an end to one part of a long and exhausting process that began eight years ago. The source added that Jolie has been prioritizing peace for her family and is relieved that this chapter is finally concluded.
Despite the ongoing tension, the insider shares that Jolie never speaks ill of Pitt, whether privately or publicly to their children. Instead, her focus has been on moving forward and bringing light to her family after a difficult time. She has been working hard to ensure her children are surrounded by positivity and healing.
As Jolie continues to navigate her personal life, she celebrated her role in the biopic Maria earlier this month. In an interview with The Sunday Times, she reflected on the differences between herself and her character, Maria Callas. While Callas’ work was everything to her, Jolie emphasized that for her, family comes first, and being a parent is her top priority.
In terms of their personal lives, Brad Pitt has been linked to jewelry designer Ines de Ramon since 2022. Meanwhile, a source shared that Angelina Jolie remains dedicated to her family and is not currently dating.
