The divorce saga between Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt seems to have no end in sight. Despite announcing their split in 2016, the couple, who got married in 2014 after dating since 2005, have yet to finalize their divorce. Instead, they are currently engaged in a bifurcated divorce, where their marriage has been legally dissolved, but other aspects of the divorce remain unresolved.
At the heart of their ongoing legal battle is their French vineyard and estate, Château Miraval, where they exchanged vows and where their twins Vivienne and Knox were born. The main point of contention revolves around Angelina’s sale of her 50% stake in the holding company that controlled her portion of the winery for $67 million. Brad, who still owns his half, filed a lawsuit against her, alleging that she was trying to harm him amidst their divorce.
The situation escalated further when Angelina’s legal team accused Brad of attempting to cover up serious abuse in court. They requested that he disclose third-party communications regarding a private plane incident in 2016, which Angelina claims played a role in their separation. Brad’s legal team pushed back, labeling the motion as intrusive and a sensationalist fishing expedition. They criticized Angelina for trying to shed light on sensitive issues related to Brad’s personal life.
The couple shares six children, including Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and the twins Vivienne and Knox. Reports have circulated that some of the children have distanced themselves from their father, with some even considering dropping his last name. The family dynamics add an additional layer of complexity to an already tumultuous legal battle.
The ongoing divorce proceedings between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have captured the public’s attention for years. The legal battle over their French vineyard, allegations of abuse, custody issues, and family dynamics all contribute to the complexity of their situation. As the saga continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the former power couple will navigate their way through this tumultuous chapter in their lives.
