Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally come to a divorce settlement after an lengthy eight year battle.
Jolie and Pitt met on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith in 2003 before starting a romantic relationship in 2005. The former couple have six children, three sons and three daughters, and in 2014, Pitt and Jolie tied the knot.
However, a couple of years later, the Tomb Raider star filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016, citing irreconcilable differences.
A statement from the actors also revealed that they would be handling the proceedings privately, PEOPLE reported in 2017.

During their divorce proceedings, it was revealed in court documents that the Girl, Interrupted star, had claimed she was attacked by her then husband, with one of their children also allegedly being assaulted on a plane on September 14, 2016, an accusation which Pitt has denied.
The FBI also investigated the accusation and Pitt was not charged with anything. And now, the two have reached a settlement agreement.
Jolie's lawyer, James Simon, said in a statement (via Sky News): "More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr Pitt.
"She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family.
"This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over."
Sky News further reports that no court documents have been filed and a judge will have to sign off on the agreement. However, it's not the only court battle the pair are currently engaged in.
The former couple are also locking heads over their shared $25 million winery business in the south of France as the Once Upon A Time in Hollywood star alleged in 2022 that Jolie had broken ‘contractural rights’ by selling her share of Château Miraval without his knowledge to a Russian oligarch, the BBC reported at the time.
According to court filings and Pitt's lawyers, the one euro payment was also allegedly never made upon ownership transfer.
Jolie's former company, Nouvel, then claimed in a countersue that she had attempted to discuss the sale with Pitt, but he allegedly wanted her to 'sign a nondisclosure agreement' about him.
Her countersue also accused Pitt of 'waging a vindictive war' against Jolie, PEOPLE reports.
It is unclear how the divorce settlement will impact this lawsuit, CBS News says.
