Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie’s divorce settlement is ‘not done yet,’ wonder why?

In recent weeks, there’s been renewed focus on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s situation, especially as it pertains to their six children and their divorce. By all appearances, the kids want nothing to do with their father, to the point where five out of six of them have already dropped the “Pitt” surname legally, socially or academically. The Jolie-Pitt divorce is still ongoing, although it was bifurcated several years back. Meaning, Brad and Angelina are legally divorced but the terms of their divorce (settlement, custody, finances) are nowhere near settled. September will mark the eight-year anniversary of Angelina taking the kids off the plane in LA, fleeing the airport and immediately filing for divorce after Brad assaulted and terrorized them for hours. Well, People Mag had an update this week:

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are slowly approaching a divorce settlement nearly eight years after their breakup.

“Both sides are still talking,” a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE of remaining issues in the divorce negotiations, “but it’s not done yet.”

A source recently told PEOPLE that Pitt, 60, has “virtually no contact” with their adult children, but per his agreement with Jolie, “he has visitation with the younger kids.” In recent months, his interaction with the younger children has been more limited because of his filming schedule. (Pitt has been filming F1 in the U.K., and was recently spotted spending time with girlfriend Ines de Ramon at the British Grand Prix.)

Meanwhile, Jolie, 49, is “very happy and content with her life,” another insider told PEOPLE, adding that she is “focused on her kids and work.” She will soon star as Maria Callas in the biopic Maria, directed by Pablo Larraín, and directed the upcoming film Without Blood starring Salma Hayek-Pinault.

Yeah, it’s not done yet and it probably won’t be done any time soon. In addition to the family court issues with the divorce, Brad is suing Angelina over her sale of Nouvel (her half of Miraval), and she’s countersuing him for being a liar, an abuser and a moron. The Miraval stuff is a huge reason why the divorce will likely not be finalized for years longer.

Meanwhile, Brad is up to his neck in legal dramas – back in May, Nouvel (now owned by Tenute del Mondo/Stoli) made new filings about Brad’s financial mismanagement and his spendthrift habits within Miraval. Stoli claims, in the latest filing, that “Pitt and Mondo Bongo have turned Château Miraval into their personal piggy bank. They have entered into a series of transactions using Château Miraval’s funds that have deprived Tenute of the profits and loan repayments to which it is entitled.” There are rumors going around that the French government has taken a dim view of Brad’s activities on the French property too. I’ve yet to see any of that filter down to the English-language media, which shows you that Pitt and his team are still very active in shutting down stories about all of the sh-t that’s going down in French and Luxembourg courts. Which is another reason why Pitt’s team has been throwing out a lot of stories about how Brad “feels” about Angelina and the kids too. That’s also why Brad and Ines were strutting around the British Grand Prix.

    Eight years. I can’t believe that the amount of money spent on lawyers has made any of the financial settlements worth it.

    • JayBlue says:

      True, but it was never about money for Brad, it was about power and punishment. Only angie would care about making sure the kids will be able to get what ever they’re entitled to in the long run. That’s how I see it, at least.

      • Eva says:

        Brad was counting on Angelina to agree to everything, just like Aniston. That he will give her some scraps and she will thank him for his kindness. But Angelina, first of all, is not stupid, and secondly, she also fights for the children and not only for herself, as has already been mentioned. Besides, he is entitled to the money from Miraval. Brad just robbed her and now he’s robbing the new owner.

      • Cate says:

        Angelina is in a totally different position than Jen was. She has six kids with him and they had a way more co-mingled assets and joint business ventures. Also, Angelina is much more Brad’s “equal” in terms of star power. I can believe Brad thought it would be as simple as divorcing Jen (because he’s an idiot), but no way would it really work out that way!

    • sevenblue says:

      He wanted her to sign NDA not to talk about his abuse. I am sure that plane from hell wasn’t the first time he abused her and her children.

    • Minnieder says:

      Ugh this makes me sick. I’ve been in a similar situation for the past 7 years with my abusive ex. Good for her to keep thriving and living her life, it can truly be emotionally debilitating

  2. Jais says:

    He’s bleh 🤢

  3. MY3CENTS says:

    He’s just so embarrassing with his bucket hat and braless girlfriend.
    (On top of being an abuser of course).

    • Pam says:

      She is certainly a Temu-knockoff version of Angie.

    • Kirsten says:

      If you don’t like her dress, that’s one thing, but can we not toss around “braless” as though it’s shameful or an insult? There’s nothing wrong with not wearing a bra if you don’t want to.

      • CLOVE says:

        Sure, when it’s a dark color and we can’t see through it.

      • DK says:

        @CLOVE: Or, any time, under any circumstances, if a person doesn’t feel like wearing a bra.

      • Kirsten says:

        @DK: 1000%

        @CLOVE: Your discomfort with other people’s bodies does not mean they have to make changes to make you feel better.

      • MY3CENTS says:

        Just to clarify it wasn’t meant as in insult to her, or her body. It was directed at Brad trying to look young and hip, as in , ohh look she’s so young she dosen’t need to wear a bra if she dosen’t feel.like it, its like hes trying to flex.

      • Betcha says:

        Well she spent the rest of the day with her arms crossed across her chest so I imagine she realized it and wished she had worn a bra. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with somebody expressing their opinion that it didn’t look good and that she should have worn a bra. Come on does not saying anything mean you’re more of a feminist? It gets a little ridiculous on here.

      • CLOVE says:

        @Kirsten, We all have our opinions; it’s nothing to fight over, nor do I have discomfort with other people’s bodies. OMG. This is why, in life, there are varying opinions, but because I disagree with you or the other person does not mean they have to make changes to make me feel better. You are taking this away bit……. seriously. I am entitled to my opinion just like you, and they don’t have to be the same.

      • Kirsten says:

        @Betcha: There’s just a big difference between saying that her outfit is not great or not flattering and that being braless is a problem. Because the later implies that being able to tell that she has nipples that’s the problem. And that most definitely is not very feminist.

      • Betcha says:

        Well you can die on that hill of nipples if you want to honey. That is not what feminism is and if that’s what you’ve reduced it to we’re in a world of hurt. Being a feminist is not mean you get to tell other people that their opinions aren’t valid. Yes the dress was a blue sack it did nothing for her figure is that offensive too? Please don’t diminish feminism into a battle over people showing their nipples or their boobs or whatever they want to show. We can still have our own judgments about what’s appropriate and be feminist to actually care about equality and not such frivolous issues.

    • Aerie says:

      @my3cents. Sorry but that’s a flimsy explanation. Ines can wear what she wants and in doing so it’s not a ‘flex’ for Brad because she’s not a prop.

      • Button says:

        This Ines is between Heidi Fleiss and Janice from FRIENDS.
        Girl is smug as if domestic abuser is a greatest catch, abuser who abused his children who still fear & loath him for carrying on abusing them in media and courts, putting them & their mother through hell .. yeah Ines got a great catch alright

      • Betcha says:

        Lol she absolutely is a prop. And she’s been chasing after that title for the last 2 years calling the paparazzi and wearing her stupid B necklace. And now they’re saying that she is happy for Brad to lead and she’s just happy to hang out with him and go to work events. That’s a prop. This is a woman who chased a billionaire in Europe but he wouldn’t marry her so then she met Paul and then Paul took her to Hollywood and then she met Brad and I would bet money they had an affair and that’s what ended her marriage to paul. That’s Brad’s Mo and Status climbing is her mo. I’d call that a prop and I think she’s happy to be one.

      • CLOVE says:

        @Aerie She literally is Brad or Brad’s PR

  4. Mireille says:

    The thirst is sooo strong with Brad and Ines. And People can go suck it with that “sources” bullcrap…at least on Angie’s side. Matthew Hiltzik is working hard for that money that Pitt’s been using from Miraval to clean and prop up his image. These People articles are just a latest of PR missives to either promote his car movie or direct attention away from something that’s about to go down with Brad.

  5. mika says:

    So did he get new plugs or does he think that hat actually looks good?

  6. Ameerah M says:

    Ines really needs to put a bra on. That’s all I got.

    • Eva says:

      Maybe her “girls” not in the best shape were the reasons why her topless session in Cabo was kind of boobless.

    • LM says:

      She can wear whatever the hell she wants. And nobody has created themselves, so can we not talk about people’s bodies that way?

      • Eva says:

        Yes and no. I know I shouldn’t make fun of her, but I don’t like the fact that she’s helping Brad torment Angelina and her kids, so…

      • maisie says:

        she can, certainly. but it was not a good look, I don’t care for Angelina’s breast look (way too big IMO) but 2 fried eggs on a plate is something that a decent bra will improve.

    • Lady says:

      I don’t have a problem with women going braless . . . Personally haven’t been able to tolerate any kind of bra for over 2 years due to medical reasons . . . But to avoid staring, unwanted attention, etc I tried out the very gentle adhesive nipple covers and adhesive bras which didn’t bother me at all physically and gave me more confidence in public. They can be gently cleaned with soap/water and reworn many times. Highly recommend!

  7. Lively says:

    He never closes his mouths… every pics his dumb mouth is gaping drives me fkng mad lool

    Him and jlo attended the same “sexy” posing course

  8. Mslove says:

    Brad Pitt has no substance. Zero. Zilch. He’s a Paul Newman wannabe with a PR girlfriend and it’s the most pathetic thing I’ve seen in a long time.

  9. Lindsay says:

    What a complete toxic mess this all is. I wrote and submitted social studies for the civil courts heard in DFW, so I’ve seen lots of toxic marriages with kids, break down.
    I learned that both sides of these awful ones include both parties having profound and massive dysfunction.
    Aside from my expertise, I still believe in karma. I’ll never not be convinced you don’t pay a huge price when you willfully engage in behavior and activities that harm and hurt other human beings.
    Brad and Angie did it all short of having live sex in front of everyone when they coupled up.
    I doubt either of them would say any of that was worth what their dealing with now 😒

    • CL says:

      Blaming Angelina for this? That’s a…choice.

    • Jegede says:

      @Lindsay
      “Brad and Angie did it all short of having live sex in front of everyone when they coupled up.”

      That made me laugh.

      But yeah messy start, messy end.😏

      • Lindsay says:

        Right? Lol! They really rubbed their lust in everyone’s faces! 😂🤣

      • Lauren says:

        Lindsay

        Yes because abuse and victim blaming is so funny . You seem to be going to have a lot of karma coming your way.

    • Ameerah M says:

      I mean if you’re still buying into the false narrative about how their relationship started, then sure…

      • Jegede says:

        It’s not a false narrative.

        Old school Malibu and SB based Celebitchy posters and even their staff, long spilled their tea.
        But the past is the past.

        Sigh, those were the prime gossip days.😎😎😎

      • Ameerah M says:

        @Jegede I’m not going to argue with you. I’ve been on CB since BEFORE Angie & Brad got together. I am old enough to remember when Aniston HERSELF said there was no infidelity. In The Hollywood Reporter.

      • Betcha says:

        Actually Angelina stated in an interview that when she and Brad watched Mr and Mrs with the kids that they told them that’s where they fell in love. Did they have sex? Maybe not but I would assume so. But they certainly had an emotional affair and Jen later hinted in interviews that she came to realize that as well. However none of that matters in regards to his domestic violence. There is nothing you can do that gives permission for a man to abuse his wife and children not physically or emotionally there is no permission for that because it’s just flat out wrong. He’s a criminal and it’s too bad the da did not have the guts to charge him. Hollywood one. But I think his children are going to set the score.

      • CLOVE says:

        @Ameerah M Thank you, but his diehards refuse to believe it. I remember that article and post, too! They think they have carte blanche to say or make up anything about Angelina.

      • Gennessee says:

        False narrative? Ha! Sorry. But I’m gonna have to step in on this one. They did have an affair, and it was during the filming of Mr & Mrs Smith. How do I know? One of my besties worked at the front desk/reception area of the small boutique hotel in Burbank near the Warner Bros. studio (in a slightly residential area), where they would meet up for their “trysts.” It was not just one time either, and yes, they used “code names” to check-in.

        I know because I would get breathless phone calls from my friend who was IN LOOOOVE with Angie whenever they checked in and he was working the front desk.

        And yes, it wasn’t only Brad and Angie who paid semi-regular visits. It’s near a whole bunch of studios and radio stations for pete’s sake. People/Celebs forget that staff talk…maybe not to the paps or TMZ because they like their job security, but they do to friends and family they trust.

    • Erica says:

      @Lindsay

      First, let’s stop this both sides from BS because that’s what it is. Abuse isn’t “karma” rape isn’t “karma”, harassment isn’t “karma” and sexual assault isn’t .“karma” ….. It’s clear from your comment that you’re on the side of an abuser.

      You have so much to say about “karma” in this post, yet you haven’t anything about it in the Jlo/Ben post? It’s funny how you pick and choose.

      I don’t know if its the link that CB wont let be post, but here is the quote from Jen A 2015 Hollywood Reporter interview

      “The divorce from Brad Pitt: “We’re not in daily communication. But we wish nothing but wonderful things for each other. Nobody did anything wrong. You know what I mean? It was just like, sometimes things [happen]. If the world only could just stop with the stupid, soap-opera bullsh-t. There’s no story. I mean, at this point it’s starting to become — please, give more credit to these human beings.”

      • Ameerah M says:

        All of this. People seem to keep conveniently forgetting this

      • Erica says:

        @Ameerah M

        It doesn’t fit the narrative that they have, so they ignore it. Not to mention Courtney Cox Jen’s best friend has said the same thing Jen said in this interview since the beginning, and there was never a time when the two of them were not friends. People seem to ignore that too.

    • Betcha says:

      Good for you I’ve worked in the court system too and I’m absolutely shocked that you would say that Angelina brought this on herself. Obviously you’ve not worked in domestic violence or you wouldn’t say that kind of b*******. Brad was the one married to Jen not Angelina what she did was wrong but he is the big loser in this story. And what she did as a 20 year old she ended in her twenties whereas he’s been an addict for 40 years. There is nothing a woman can do that causes her and her children to deserve to be physically and emotionally abused. Shame on you.

  10. lucy2 says:

    I can’t believe it’s been 8 years. I can’t imagine the legal fees. A friend of mine had theirs take 4 years, and they’re just regular people, but the ex was vindictive and awful, so he dragged it out to prolong the pain.
    Brad’s gotta hustle to promote the new movie, he’s got to be in debt and needs a big win. So there’s going to be a lot of girlfriend parading, and stories about how he still sees his kids (only the two who are still legally obligated of course).

  11. Katie Beanstalk says:

    Brad was a major sex symbol. I’m guessing that’s hard to maintain now that he’s getting older.

    • Betcha says:

      Meh. Was he? He was a pretty boy who complained about being judged as a pretty boy and then would go and be enrolled where he showed his ass and his abs down right above his cock. He chased after that title. But he was just a pretty boy who looked high most the time and now we know that he was. And now he’s an old man and he can have plastic surgery all he wants but I’m sure Inez can tell you those balls hang low and saggy.
