After a prolonged legal battle, Brad Pitt steps back from the custody fight, signaling an end to the high-profile divorce saga.

In a significant development, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s prolonged divorce battle is nearing its conclusion. Since their separation in 2016, the Hollywood stars have been embroiled in a highly publicized legal struggle, primarily over the custody of their six children. However, recent reports suggest a major shift in the situation, with Brad Pitt reportedly ceasing his efforts to secure shared custody, moving the couple closer to finalizing their divorce.

Brad Pitt, aged 60, initially sought a 50/50 custody arrangement for their children. Yet, insiders reveal he has now withdrawn from this pursuit. This decision implies that Angelina Jolie, 48, will maintain primary physical custody, with Pitt granted visitation rights. The change comes as the younger children of the couple, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15, approach adulthood, with the eldest three already over 18 and thus outside custody arrangements.

The couple’s relationship, and subsequent split, has captivated the public since their beginning in 2005 on the set of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”. Their union, often dubbed ‘Brangelina,’ faced its share of controversies, notably surrounding Pitt’s previous marriage to Jennifer Aniston. Despite the turmoil, Pitt and Jolie’s relationship blossomed, leading to their marriage in 2014 and the formation of a family with three biological and three adopted children.

The custody battle has been marked by accusations from both sides, including allegations of parental alienation and physical altercations during a 2016 flight, which Jolie cited as a significant factor in her decision to file for divorce. These allegations and the public nature of their divorce have only added to the complexities of their separation.

As the legal proceedings draw to a close, both parties express their desires to heal and move forward for the sake of their family. The resolution of their custody dispute marks a pivotal moment in their ongoing legal battle, potentially paving the way for a more private and peaceful resolution to their divorce.

While the custody aspect nears resolution, Pitt and Jolie continue to face legal challenges concerning the vineyard they once co-owned. The dispute over the sale of Jolie’s share to a third party has led to further legal entanglements, highlighting the multifaceted nature of their separation.

As the saga of one of Hollywood’s most high-profile couples slowly comes to an end, many hope this marks the beginning of a new chapter for Pitt, Jolie, and their children, focusing on healing and moving forward from the years of public and legal strife.
