Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt might be finalizing their divorce in the next few weeks

WSJ. Magazine 2015 Innovator Awards

For months now, there’s been very little in the way of confirmed gossip about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, especially in regard to their neverending divorce. We’ve heard a lot from “sources,” of course. Sources would have us believe that Brad Pitt has been quietly dating for about a year. Sources would have us believe that Angelina is not dating at all, not even handsome older real estate agents. Sources would have us believe that there is a general thawing in Brad and Angelina’s once-estranged relationship, and that Brad is spending tons of time with the kids. Who knows, about any of it? Well, now sources tell The Sun that Angelina and Brad’s divorce is very close to be finalized.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have called a truce and will settle their previously bitter divorce within weeks. The Sun can reveal Angelina, 42, has now agreed to give Brad access to their six children. Lawyers for Hollywood’s former star couple are putting the finishing touches on the agreement. It is expected to be filed imminently after they received court approval to continue negotiating in February. The amicable formal end to the marriage is in stark contrast to the public warfare after their break-up.

A source close to Angelina revealed: “The terms of the divorce are now agreed. They are being finalised by both legal teams, but will be filed within weeks. It’s a huge turnaround from where the marriage ended, especially given the claims Angelina made against Brad, but they are now on pretty good terms. Both decided it was crucial for the children that they had a respectful relationship.”

The key thing is that they agree to custody sharing, with Brad having access and working with Angelina on logistic issues about work and travel.

“There were rumours the divorce was being called off, but that’s not the case.”

For whatever record, it wasn’t just Angelina “making claims” against Brad. Whatever happened on that plane in 2016 was so bad that someone else on the plane triggered the investigation by Children’s Services. It was so bad that Angelina literally took the kids and left Brad as soon as the plane landed and she refused to speak to him for months afterwards. It was so bad that she’s still really f–king angry about it.

Anyway, Gossip Cop spoke to a “Pitt confidante” who says The Sun’s story is inaccurate and that “nothing” is imminent. Team Pitt is also nitpicking the whole issue of “Angelina is finally just now allowing Brad to see the kids.” Brad was allowed visitation with the kids months ago, but I tend to believe that his visitation is tied to certain things, like his sobriety, and weekly therapy sessions. Anyway… it wouldn’t surprise me if Angelina and Brad DO finalize this sh-t before she takes the kids to England for months as she works on Maleficent 2.

    Sources are just so reliable sometimes. At some point though when you have been separated and divorcing for 2 years it has to become final. These sources may finally have gotten it right. Kudos to them for keeping it as private as they could, especially considering the drama that surrounded it at the beginning. I think Angelina had the most to do with that, but still it was good for the whole family to remove as much drama as possible. I wish the whole family well, especially the kids.

  2. TheOriginalMia says:

    Saw M&M Smith the other day and it was eerie how the characters seemed to mirror them. As for this story, divorce is the final goal, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if they stay in this limbo for another year.

  3. Truth hurts says:

    I wish they would too. Bradley filed an extension until December so wtf knows. I think he is waiting for a money shot with the kids with him. This proves to me he was the culprit behind a lot of stunts people blamed her for.
    Idk what the hell he did but it also resulted in those boys refusing to see him. Who knows but they will never tell because I feel Angie has a gag order and really doesn’t want people to know what he said or did to one or more of those adopted kids on that plane while drunk and possibly high.
    She seems happier and I think she has been through a lot because of his vices. He believed them both when they talked about their fights but kinda said it as if it wasn’t horrible fighting which it was.

    • Nancy says:

      Nitpicking I guess, but his name is William. Middle name is Bradley.

    • pwal says:

      Nickpicking further, Brad was the one who requested that things get sealed, much to many people’s chagrin. Now that it seemed to benefit the kids, all of sudden, it was Jolie’s idea? Interesting…

      • KBB says:

        Through her lawyer she actually said he wanted the gag order because he was “terrified people would find out what he did.” It was definitely not her idea, she initially opposed it.

      • Truth hurts says:

        I know what his name is. Really. Yes he wanted it sealed for obvious reasons. If she wanted to spill her guts she could have the judge agreed with her about not sealing she chose to agree to it he and his team did their hit job on her.
        He will be the same boring Brad and she will move on and continue to be who she is. Hopefully the kids will continue to prosper.

  4. minx says:

    They were a sizzling hot couple. Sigh.

    • Nancy says:

      She is pretty, but I always thought Brad was hot in the day and faded fast. Just say no to alcohol, it ages the hell out of you.

      • minx says:

        It wasn’t just looks, it was their star power..and in the early years they looked like they couldn’t keep their hands off each other.

      • Nancy says:

        Well if it makes you feel better, it’s better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Lol. Hot couples get older, cool down, have kids, live life. Beginning, middle and end. They had their time. They will be fine.

      • minx says:

        Oh, I know they will be fine. I was thinking more of us enjoying see them as a fabulous Hollywood couple.

    • smcollins says:

      They were. They really were.

  5. Patty says:

    It’s about time

  6. Astrid says:

    Even my hum drum suburban divorce took almost 2 years….I can see how a high profile divorce with kids and money could take a while.

    • CairinaCat says:

      My sister, a rad tech in Southern California.
      Filed for divorce a year ago.
      With no real end in site, the court is going really slow.
      And this is with my bil not even having a lawyer.

      My divorce took almost three years, and it was a run of the mill divorce.

      So for people with actual money, I can see it taking so much longer

  7. Jenni says:

    Good for them. Can we talk about how Anna Wintour would soon leave as Conde Nast artistic director and Vogue Editor? Page six says the new Conde Nast chairman wants the British Vogue Editor to take over from Anna.

  8. shak says:

    Hope so

  9. Rumi says:

    I used to think Brad was one of the good guys, but there is no excuse for child abuse. I believe it was the straw that broke the camels back and Angelina no matter how much others villify her, always puts her kids first. She left Brad and didn’t look back.
    I think the divorce is taking longer is due to Brad. Initially he may have thought there could’ve been reconciliation, then sorting out all the financies, now I think he’s gotten sober and negotiating custody of the children.
    He’s going to debut his girlfriend this year so divorce will be final soon.
    So many women / men choose their partners over their kids welfare. I’m glad that Angelina cut him off and shut him down.

    • Helen Smith says:

      Remember Brad was cleared by child services and the FBI on the abuse charges.

      As for who is dragging things out we don’t know. None of us have the sources to know.

      • Rumi says:

        Even though he was cleared ( I hope there wasn’t any power plays involved), I don’t think this was an exclusive incident. I think it reached boiling point and Angelina split.

        I was saying men/women choosing to stay with their abusive partners rather than thinking about the welfare of the children. Not saying single, seperated or divorced parents can’t date. Of course they should.

    • Coz' says:

      I don’t understand how having a new gf/bf is choosing partners over their kids.
      If Angelina was dating again I don’t think it would make her less competent as a parent.

  10. Monica says:

    Good for him

  11. Felicia says:

    The bit about Pitt’s people nitpicking… it’s not up to Angelina to “allow” or “not allow” him to see the kids. Any more than if he were the one the kids were living with, he could choose to “allow” or “not allow” her to see her children. It doesn’t work that way, so perhaps the nitpicking is over the way it’s been presented by the Sun, more than anything else. One parent does not get to choose whether or not the other parent gets to remain a part of the lives of the children. Therein lies the seeds of eventual accusations of parental alienation and that’s not a good thing for anyone. They will hash out an agreement that the court will sign off on, and that’s how it should be. That’s all I’ve got other than the divorce will take the time it takes and from the wording in the GC article, the past is also the past.

  12. Ben Dover says:

    I say, $hit happens.

  13. crazydaisy says:

    End of an era. I wonder how things would’ve rolled out if these two never officially tied the knot–different or same? (P.S. Appreciate how the photos accompanying this piece depict AJ’s back tattoo evolution!)

    • lucy2 says:

      Probably the same. It sounds like the issues were at least partly caused by his substance abuse, which he’s said was most of his adult life, so marriage wouldn’t have changed that either way. And they still would have had to hash out custody arrangements for the kids, married or not.

  14. Mimi says:

    This is from the sun tabloid. No one is talking to that trash rag. Especially that shady reporter who has been nasty about Jolie from the beginning. Her people are not talking to him. Yes! Brad was cleared about the abuse. Thank god! But he has been very monitored by children services afterwards. Safety plans were put in place. So, something still serious happened. Alcohol causes a lot of destruction in families. Just pleased he is dealing with his issues. No one really knows what’s happening between them, but hope they all come out happy & healthier.

  15. Fa says:

    “Making claims”, this source is not Angie source. The article is ignoring what happened in that plane and the source is blaming Angie than Brad in what happened in that plane.

  16. Mary says:

    I’m happy for him, excited to see him acting in some real projects again.

    • Noelle says:

      Are you happy for Angelina too? Or even more so are you happy for their kids?

    • Norah says:

      good riddance to brad – let him find a younger girl friend and let angie alone. shes happier without him
