Angelina Jolie says she wants to “end the fight” with Brad Pitt amid protracted and exhausting divorce battle.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt split in 2016, but eight years later they are still not divorced (although they were declared legally single in 2019). Now, as the divorce battle rages on, Jolie has asked Pitt to “end the fight” in a protracted court battle, E! News reports.

The battle is long and complicated, but here's a start: the two met on the set of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” in 2005, became a couple, and finally married in 2014 after nine years together (and six children). But just two years later, in 2016, Jolie filed for divorce, and in addition to the divorce battle, the two have been embroiled in intense civil litigation over the sale of Jolie's shares in Chateau Miraval, the French estate and vineyard they once shared. Jolie's lawyer said in a statement yesterday that it is Jolie's desire to “put an end to the dispute and finally put the family on a clear path toward healing,” adding that unless Pitt drops the lawsuit against her, Jolie “has no choice but to obtain the evidence necessary to prove his claims wrong and There is no way to do that,” he added.

Pitt's attorney, Ann Kiley, said of that 2016 allegation, “Brad has, from day one, taken ownership of everything for which he is responsible, unlike the other side. He has been subjected to all kinds of personal attacks and misrepresentations."

Pitt's attorney, Kiley, said.

According to People, Pitt sued Jolly after he sold his half of Chateau Miraval in October 2021 for $67 million. People writes, “He claimed that the sale was in violation of an oral agreement the two had made.”

“Jolie's side says she refused to let him buy the business because she did not want to sign his NDA [nondisclosure agreement] as part of the deal.”

Jolie and Pitt purchased the winery in 2008 and were 50-50 partners until 2021, “Entertainment Tonight” reported. In addition to the lawsuit regarding Chateau Miraval, Jolie and Pitt are also involved in what Us Weekly magazine calls a “nasty legal dispute” over custody of the six children they share (Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne). The twins, Knox and Vivian, just turned 16 earlier this month and remain the only minors among the couple's six children.

Shiloh, who celebrated her 18th birthday in May, apparently hired and paid for her own lawyer to file legal papers to remove “Pitt” from her last name (all of her children have the last name Jolie-Pitt). Shiloh is believed to be the only one of the six to have done so legally, but Maddox, Zahara, and Vivienne have also reportedly unofficially removed “Pitt” from their last names, which indicates a strained relationship between Pitt and his children.

When they divorced in 2016, Jolie filed for sole custody of the children in addition to filing for divorce. The custody agreement between Jolie and Pitt grants visitation rights to the minor children, and only two of the six children, Knox and Vivienne, remain minors; People reported that during their time as a couple, Jolie and Pitt often “clashed” over their “very different parenting styles People” reported that Jolie and Pitt often ‘clashed’ over their ‘very different parenting styles’ when they were a couple, with one source telling the magazine, ”Brad grew up structured. Brad had a structured upbringing and wanted to give the kids more rules. Angie had a different upbringing and wanted her children to be more independent and responsible for their own schedules from a young age."

Another source said of Jolie and Pitt, “They both still really care. They both care about their children.”
