Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.”

It concluded, “The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification."
Leading up to the 2017 privacy agreement, Pitt and Jolie had been locked in“strained” divorce negotiationscentered on custody issues and trading harsh accusations in filings in Los Angeles Superior Court.
In January 2017, they agreed to seal sensitive records relating to their six children, the majority of whom are now adults:Maddox, 23,Pax, 21,Zahara, 19,Shiloh, 18, and twinsVivienneandKnox, now 16.
The exes, who had their divorce bifurcated, weredeclared legally single in 2019. (Pitt has been dating L.A. jewelry exec Ines de Ramon, 34, since 2022.)
In the following years, the former couple battled over custody as well aslegal issues pertaining tothe $164 million French estate and winery that they shared,Château Miraval.

Pitt sued Jolie in February 2022 over her sale of her Château Miraval stake, and theTomb Raiderstarfiled a countersuitin which she stated her ex was “waging a vindictive war against” her.
In a case management statement, Jolie called Pitt’s legal actions “frivolous, malicious and part of a problematic pattern.” The actress is holding firm that she and Pitt did not have “a secret, unwritten, unspoken contract” that required them to ask for consent before selling their shares of Château Miraval.

The pair have continued to fight over Miraval throughout 2024, which is not connected to their divorce proceedings. In November, Jolie scored a legal win when a judge in the case ruled that Pitt must disclose documents, including emails and texts, that Jolie’s lawyer Paul Murphy claims will prove her allegations of abuse against Pitt and “years of cover-up” on his part.
The same month,Pitt also notched his own victoryin the winery battle when Jolie’s motions to dismiss the lawsuit were rejected and the case inched closer to trial with potential proof that there was a written agreement between the former couple about selling, which a Pitt source said “demonstrates the legitimacy of his claims.”
His lawyers have called Jolie’s request for the documents “a sensationalist fishing expedition.”
