Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt strike divorce deal after eight years
Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have struck a divorce deal eight years after the legal battle started, media reports said.
Angelina's lawyer James Simon said the popular pair- often referred to as Brangelina by the press- arrived at a deal on December 30.
Simon told DailyMail.com his client is "relieved this one part is over".
"Frankly, Angelina is exhausted," Simon told the news publication and added, "More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr Pitt. 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."
Citing 'irreconcilable differences', Angelina, who has six children with Brad, had filed for divorce in 2016. The two had married in 2014 after dating for a decade.
Angelina, now 49, accused Brad of abusing her and two of their children on a private jet in the same year she had filed the divorce.
Apart from their divorce, the two are locked in a legal battle over a French vineyard.
Brad, the 61-year-old who is now dating a 31-year-old jewellery designer, has accused Angelina of selling her stake in the vineyard without his consent.
As per the report by DailyMail.com, both sides have expressed intention to either arrive at a mediation or take the case to a jury trial.
Angelina and Brad have shared screen space together in a number of films including By the Sea and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
