The possible reason why Brad Pitt ended his divorce battle with Angelina Jolie

The duo recently settled their divorce after an eight-year legal battle, and now sources have revealed that Pitt wanted to tie the knot as he wants to tie the knot next year.

The “Troy” actor is reportedly “relieved” that the case has been resolved and plans to remarry in 2025. However, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still at war over their Chateau Miraval winery.

According to Daily mailA source familiar with the situation has revealed Pitt's efforts to resolve his contentious divorce dispute with ex-wife Jolie.

An insider told the news outlet that the 61-year-old actor is “relieved” about the split after growing tired of it because he believed Jolie was “dragging her legs” over the split.

They added that his intention to be friends with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon in 2025 is the reason why he chose to finalize the divorce.

“They want to get married within the next year, and Brad has reconciled because he wants to keep his kids by his side so his new marriage can continue,” the insider shared. “Apparently Inese is also very keen to have children and was pushing him to sort things out as soon as possible.”

The “Fight Club” actor started dating Ramona about two years ago and has reportedly introduced her to his inner circle, including best friend George Clooney.

“Brad will be relieved that he can finally move on and remarry. He has long wanted his divorce to be settled, but he believes Angelina is holding back,” another source said of the actor.

The Los Angeles-based insider continued: “Angelina will argue that she's been fighting for the best deal for their family, but whatever the truth, it ultimately clears the way for him to walk down the aisle with Ines.”

“He'll be hoping to build bridges with his kids now that the divorce is final, but it's looking like a long, hard road,” the source added.

Pitt and Jolie have three biological children: Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne, as well as their adopted children Maddox, Pax and Zahara.

The source's claims come after the former couple reached a settlement in their contentious divorce proceedings after languishing for almost a decade.

Pitt and Jolie met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2003 and began dating shortly thereafter before marrying in August 2014.

However, the “Malice” actress filed for divorce two years later, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their separation.

According to Daily mailthey put pen to paper just before New Year's Eve with Jolie's divorce attorney, James Simon, saying the actress was “relieved that one part is over.”

“Frankly, Angelina is exhausted,” Simon told the news outlet. “More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children relinquished all property they shared with Mr. Pitt, and since then she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family.”

Pitt and Jolie, however, have not resolved their legal dispute over the Chateau Miraval winery they once co-owned.

In 2022, the actor sued Jolie over the sale of his stake in a French winery, claiming she breached a previous agreement that gave him the right of first refusal.

According to People magazinehe said Jolie intentionally “tried to harm him” by selling her half of the company and also sought to damage the company's reputation by selling it to a “stranger.”

“Jolie proceeded with and then secretly completed the alleged sale, intentionally keeping Pitt in the dark and knowingly violating Pitt's contractual rights,” the filing said.

According to Daily maila source close to the matter said the exes are open to settling their Chateau Miraval dispute through a jury trial or mediation.

However, Jolie might be ready to end the case as soon as possible. An insider shared that she “has tried very hard to be light after a dark time” and “doesn't talk bad about her in public or in private.”

“Kids have grown up seeing that some people have so much power and privilege that their voices don't matter. Their pain doesn't count,” the source added. “They've wanted her to speak up for herself, to stand up for herself over the years, but she's reminding them to focus on changing the law, not telling public stories.”
