Brad Pitt has finally spoken about the end of his divorce from Angelina Jolie, a process that has stretched over eight long years. When asked if he felt any sense of relief after the legal settlement in December 2024, Pitt's response was surprisingly casual. He stated that it was simply a legal matter coming to a close, nothing more, nothing less. This comment came six months after the former co-stars of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" reached a settlement. Jolie had initially filed for divorce back in September 2016, marking the beginning of a complex and lengthy legal journey.  Jolie's lawyer had mentioned that she was focused on healing and finding peace for their family, a process that has clearly taken time.

The divorce process has been a long and winding road. Jolie and Pitt were declared legally single back in 2019, but the final settlement came much later. It's important to note that Jolie waived any right to receive spousal support from Pitt, a decision that speaks volumes about her priorities during this time. The couple shares six children, but the relationship between Pitt and his kids is strained. None of the children are currently on speaking terms with their father, and some have even chosen to drop his last name. This is a significant development, highlighting the deep rifts that have formed within the family.

The estrangement between Pitt and his children is a complex issue. Sources have reported that Pitt is aware and upset about the situation, particularly regarding his daughter Shiloh, who dropped his last name. Pitt has always expressed his love for his children, but the fallout from the divorce and subsequent events has created a challenging dynamic. The exact timeline of when the children became estranged from their father is unclear, but it's known that Pax, one of the sons, had strong words for his father in a 2020 Father's Day post. Pax reportedly accused Pitt of being verbally abusive and physical with his children, referencing an incident that occurred in 2016 aboard a private jet.

The situation is a reminder of the complexities that can arise in high-profile divorces. The legal process is just one part of the equation, and the emotional toll can be immense. For Pitt and Jolie, the divorce has been a long and arduous journey, with the final settlement coming after eight years. The impact on their children is a poignant aspect of this story, highlighting the need for healing and reconciliation. The public may never know the full extent of what happened, but the outcomes speak for themselves. The divorce is finalized, but the emotional journey continues.
