A-list Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are officially no longer together after they were granted a bifurcated judgment which restored each of their statuses as legally single.
Entertainment Tonight reported that the former couple’s marriage is officially over after a judged ruled over the divorce more than two years after the case was filed.
The decision would only grant them a dissolution in status of their marriage, but they are not yet legally divorced. The final divorce settlement will likely take several months as Jolie and Pitt would still have to discuss other aspects of their separation, such as the custody of their children and property division, but they would be doing so as legally single individuals.
Jolie filed for divorce back in 2016 stating irreconcilable differences as the reason.
Entertainment Tonight also reported Jolie was “pleased to be entering the next stage and relieved at the progress for the health of their family.”
Jolie, who went by the name Angelina Jolie-Pitt during her marriage with her former husband, has also decided to drop his last name, but their six children will still keep their hyphenated surnames.
Nevertheless, Entertainment Tonight added that the former couple’s relationship is “the best it’s been since their split.”
“While they don’t agree about everything, they rarely argue now,” the source said. “Brad and Angelina are now at a point where they can discuss their children’s plans calmly.”
Jolie and Pitt got married in 2014 after several years of being together. They have six kids, namely, Maddox, 17, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and Vivienne and Knox, 10.
Maddox, Pax and Zahara and were adopted from orphanages in Cambodia, Vietnam and Ethiopia respectively, while Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox are their biological children.
