Brad Pitt Finalizes Divorce, Faces Family Estrangement

Brad Pitt's divorce from Angelina Jolie was finalized in December 2024 after an eight-year legal and custody battle. Pitt has admitted to making mistakes in the marriage and described the situation as divisive and toxic, while not placing all blame on Jolie. The prolonged conflict reportedly resulted in several of their six children dropping Pitt's last name and publicly distancing themselves from him. Despite legal closure and progress in his sobriety, Pitt's greatest regret is his inability to repair family relationships, and insiders say reconciliation with Jolie and the children appears unlikely. Pitt is now focused on personal growth and has found new enthusiasm for life after overcoming addiction. The case underscores the emotional toll of high-profile divorces and ongoing struggles for personal accountability.
