Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce has been one of Hollywood’s longest and most complicated separations. The couple, who have six children, finalized their divorce on December 30, 2024, after a legal battle of over 8 years.
The issues ranged from custody disputes to disagreements over the Château Miraval winery in France. “Brad fears he’s lost his kids forever because they’ve been fed so many lies,” an insider tells Life & Style.
As Brad Pitt prepares to promote his upcoming film F1, insiders suggest he may be addressing lingering questions about his marriage. A source close to the actor said, “Brad is telling his friends that maybe now is the time to share his side of the story.” Over the years, Jolie has made comments that some believe are indicative of their troubled relationship.
For example, she recently talked to her children about hiding pain and disliking dishonesty. However, Brad has remained largely silent, denying the abuse allegations and focusing on his sobriety journey.
The custody battle has been particularly contentious. In 2021, Brad was granted joint custody of their children, but the decision was overturned after Jolie’s team disqualified the judge.
There have also been allegations that Jolie may have affected the children’s relationship with their father. Legal documents revealed that he had discouraged the children from spending time with him. Brad’s visitation rights will end when his youngest children, Knox and Vivienne, turn 18 next year.
Meanwhile, the former couple’s legal battle over Chateau Miraval continues. Brad filed a lawsuit in 2022, claiming Jolie breached an agreement by selling her stake without his consent.
Angelina Jolie said she sold her stake because of a nondisclosure agreement that would have prohibited her from discussing the abuse allegations. An insider said, “He’s going all out on his winery lawsuit,” adding, “He has nothing left to lose.”
Brad has found solace in his relationship with jewelry executive Ines de Ramon, whom he has been dating for more than two years. “Brad is grateful for Ines,” the insider said. “She’s done a lot to help him recover.” As he moves on, Brad is reportedly looking forward to closure and peace.
