13-01-2025 15:00
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt ended their divorce case after eight years. Jolie’s lawyer announced the settlement on Tuesday, but he didn’t share any details of the agreement.
The actors married in 2014 but separated in 2016. Jolie asked for full custody of their six children, which led to a long legal fight. Police investigated Pitt for child abuse but cleared him. Later, the actors agreed to share custody equally. Both said the other of using the media to get public support.
Before their marriage, Pitt was with Jennifer Aniston, and Jolie was married twice. They met while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Difficult words: settlement (agreement), custody (taking care of children), equally (fairly and in the same way).
