Brad Pitt is finally speaking out about his divorce from Angelina Jolie, a few months after the former couple reportedly settled. The exes were engaged in an intense eight-year legal battle, which culminated in a settlement in December 2024.
In an interview with GQ Magazine, discussing his upcoming project “F1: The Movie,” the actor brushed off his very public divorce from Jolie as nothing “major.” He also shed light on his relationship with girlfriend Ines de Ramon and their much-talked-about appearance together at the 2024 Grand Prix.
Brad Pitt calls divorce ‘just something coming to fruition’
Brad Pitt recently broke his silence about his divorce from Angelina Jolie. Speaking to GQ Magazine, the actor reflected on their split, brushing it off as nothing “major.” When asked if he felt relieved after being on the other side of the long-running legal battle, Pitt responded with an answer that was as concise as it could be. He said, “No, I don’t think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally.”
Pitt and Jolie were one of Hollywood’s “it” couples once upon a time. The actors met while playing husband and wife in the 2005 film “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” After marking a few memorable milestones together, including welcoming their babies and an engagement that was the talk of the town, the former couple tied the knot in August 2014. However, things came crashing down shortly after their second anniversary.
Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in September 2016, reportedly citing irreconcilable differences as the reason. After an intense legal battle that lasted over eight years, they finalized their divorce by the end of last year. The duo shares Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne together.
Meanwhile, the “F1: The Movie” actor is currently in a relationship with Ines de Ramon. In his interview with GQ Magazine, he dismissed claims about the couple deliberately making the 2024 British Grand Prix, an F1 race, their first public appearance together. He clarified that the move wasn’t “calculated” and that it’s just how “relationships evolve.”
Pitt opened up about how “some version” of his private life has always been in the news. In addition, he reflected on his life, calling it “pretty contained,” and that he had his friends, family, and people who love him.
