Where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stand as divorce case winds down
Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie have been working out the details of their divorce since they split in 2016 – and there is finally an end in sight.
“The negotiation process was painful, but the financial documents were submitted in recent weeks,” a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of We weekly. “Brad just wants to move on with his life, and this final step symbolizes relief and a final end to their relationship.”
The insider adds that Jolie, 48, will retain primary custody of the couple’s three minor children: Shiloh, 17, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15. (The exes also share sons Maddox, 22, and Pax, 20, and daughter Zahara, 19.)
Pitt, 60, “is not happy” with the arrangement, a second source said Usbut ‘agreed because it wasn’t as bad as Angie [getting] full custody as she wanted.

While Pitt still has visitation rights, a third source says it’s “disappointing that he doesn’t see the kids as often” as he would like.
“He wishes their relationship was stronger and wants to work on that,” the insider explains.
Custody isn’t the only issue Jolie and Pitt have had to work out in court. Earlier this month, a judge gave Pitt the green light to sue Jolie for breach of implied contract for selling her share of French company Miraval to Tenute del Mondo without Pitt’s consent.
As Pitt fights for Miraval’s future, he also looks ahead with his girlfriend Ines de Ramónwhom he started dating in 2022.
“Many of Brad’s friends have met Ines and love her because she lets him be himself,” the first source said, adding that Pitt and Ramon, 31, “are both ready to dive into a deeper phase of their relationship . “Brad and Ines met each other’s families and we all clicked. Ines has really warmed up to Brad’s mom. They are closer than Angelina ever was.
A month after they first linked up, Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon were already celebrating milestones together. The Oscar winner and Ramon were spotted attending Pitt’s 59th birthday in December 2022, just weeks after the pair attended a Bono concert with famous friends including Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber and […]
Although Pitt and Ramon are in it for the long haul – Us confirmed last month that the pair are living together – they are not yet discussing marriage.
“Brad certainly sees a long-term future with Ines and does not rule out having more children,” the insider explains. “But he’s going to take a step back from the marriage just to deal with what he went through with Angie.”
