Brad Pitt, the acclaimed actor known for his roles in films such as Fight Club and F1, has recently spoken about the finalization of his divorce from Angelina Jolie. Officially concluded in December, this legal battle spanned over eight years, beginning with Jolie’s initial filing in 2016.
Moving On from the Past
In a candid interview with GQ published on May 28, Pitt shared his perspective on the divorce, stating, “No, I don’t think it was that major of a thing—just something coming to fruition. Legally.” His comments suggest a sense of closure as he looks at this chapter from the rearview mirror. However, it’s clear that the months leading to their final settlement were fraught with tension and complications.

Jolie, who has been dedicated to co-parenting their children—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox—has focused on finding peace and healing for her family. Her attorney, James Simon, confirmed that the settlement marks a significant milestone in a prolonged process that has been emotionally exhausting. “Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over,” he stated, highlighting the toll that the legal proceedings have taken.
Pitt further reflected on the challenges of having his personal life scrutinized in the public eye, noting that it has been a consistent part of his life for over three decades. He remarked, “It’s been an annoyance I’ve had to always deal with…” Despite the turmoil surrounding his divorce, he emphasizes a sense of stability in his current life, filled with warmth and security.
