Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie: The 5 Biggest Bombshells From Their Endless Legal War In 2025
The 'Brangelina' saga continues to dominate global headlines in late 2025, proving that even Hollywood's most powerful divorce is far from settled. Six years after their separation and nearly a year after their divorce was officially finalized in late 2024, the legal battle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has intensified, shifting focus from child custody to a multi-million-dollar war over their French vineyard, Château Miraval. This ongoing, bitter dispute has forced private communications into the public eye, revealing the traumatic emotional toll on Jolie and the surprising new stability in Pitt's life as they both move forward with new professional ventures and personal relationships.
As of December 22, 2025, the latest court rulings have provided a procedural victory for Pitt, demanding Jolie release "damning" private messages related to the winery sale. This development underscores the depth of animosity that still defines one of the most famous celebrity breakups in modern history, while their six children—now mostly adults—navigate their own paths away from the spotlight.
The Jolie-Pitt Family: A Current Biographical Snapshot (2025)
The core of the long-running legal and personal drama remains the six children shared by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. With the custody fight largely concluded as most children are now over the age of 18, their individual lives and career paths have come into focus. The family unit includes three adopted and three biological children, each of whom has appeared alongside their mother at recent public events.
- Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt (Age ~24): Adopted from Cambodia in 2002, Maddox is the eldest and has been a central figure in the family’s public narrative. He is currently pursuing his education and has reportedly been estranged from his father.
- Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt (Age ~22): Adopted from Vietnam in 2007, Pax is known for his private nature and interest in art and photography. He has been seen supporting his mother at various events, including the launch of her fashion venture.
- Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt (Age ~20): Adopted from Ethiopia in 2005, Zahara is currently attending Spelman College, a historically Black college for women in Atlanta. She is an active advocate for women’s rights and has a close public relationship with her mother.
- Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt (Age ~19): The first biological child, born in Namibia in 2006, Shiloh has shown a clear passion for dance and the arts. Her public appearances are often noted for her evolving personal style and artistic pursuits.
- Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt (Age ~17): One half of the biological twins, born in France in 2008, Knox is often seen with his mother and sister Vivienne.
- Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt (Age ~17): The other half of the biological twins, Vivienne has recently gained attention for working alongside her mother as a production assistant on the Broadway adaptation of The Outsiders, signaling a clear interest in theater production.
Bombshell #1: The Château Miraval Legal War Escalates
While the divorce itself concluded in late 2024, the battle over the former couple’s joint assets has become the central focus of their legal warfare in 2025. The core of this dispute is Château Miraval, a massive estate and highly successful French winery they purchased together in 2008.
The conflict began when Angelina Jolie sold her 50% stake in the property in 2021 to Tenute del Mondo, a subsidiary of the Stoli Group, without Brad Pitt's consent. Pitt subsequently filed a lawsuit in 2022, alleging that they had a mutual understanding not to sell their respective stakes without the other's approval.
In a significant procedural victory for Pitt in late 2025, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered Jolie to surrender a cache of private messages and communications related to the sale. Pitt’s legal team claims these texts are "damning" and will prove Jolie's malicious intent to harm Pitt’s financial interests and the reputation of the winery. This development signals a new, aggressive phase in the Miraval lawsuit, with millions of dollars and personal reputation on the line for both parties.
Bombshell #2: Brad Pitt’s ‘Committed’ New Chapter with Ines de Ramon
In stark contrast to the ongoing legal turmoil, Brad Pitt's personal life has found a surprising new level of stability. As of late 2025, Pitt’s relationship with jewelry executive Ines de Ramon is reportedly "going strong" and "very committed."
The couple, who have been dating since late 2022, have taken the significant step of moving in together, solidifying their status as one of Hollywood's most serious new pairings. Pitt, who celebrated his 62nd birthday with de Ramon, is said to be "happy" and savoring this downtime before starting a new film project.
Their relationship has been increasingly public, highlighted by a notable double date with Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid in June 2025, further cementing de Ramon’s presence in Pitt’s elite social circle. This new, stable partnership represents a clear and definitive step forward for Pitt, away from the shadow of his high-profile divorce.
Bombshell #3: Angelina Jolie’s ‘Traumatic’ Public Statements and Action-Packed Return
Angelina Jolie has not shied away from describing the emotional toll of the protracted divorce. In a new court filing in 2025, she candidly referred to the process as "traumatic," offering a rare glimpse into her personal experience of the eight-year legal battle.
Professionally, Jolie is making a decisive return to the action genre, a move that has generated significant buzz among her fans. After focusing on directorial and producing roles, her upcoming slate of projects for 2025 and beyond is packed with high-octane roles:
- The Initiative (2025): This action project is slated to begin filming in August 2025, with Jolie set to star.
- Sunny (Late 2026/Early 2027): This film marks her first major return to the action genre in five years, following her roles in Eternals and Maleficent 2.
These professional moves, combined with her continued humanitarian work and her new fashion house, Atelier Jolie, show a determined effort to redefine her public image and career post-divorce, focusing on independent creative control and powerful roles.
Bombshell #4: The Shifting Custody Landscape as Children Age
The custody dispute, which was once the most contentious part of the divorce, has naturally softened in its legal intensity as the children have grown older. The long and bitter battle over visitation and custody of the six children, which included a private judge ruling that was later challenged by Jolie, has reached a new, more pragmatic phase.
Since the divorce was finalized, most of the children are either legally adults (Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh) or nearing adulthood (Knox and Vivienne, who are 17). This shift means the court’s involvement in dictating visitation schedules and co-parenting principles is largely a formality. The children themselves now have greater autonomy to choose how and when they spend time with their parents, a factor that fundamentally changes the dynamic of the custody agreement.
Bombshell #5: The Enduring Search for Finality
Despite the divorce settlement being reached in late 2024, the ongoing Château Miraval lawsuit underscores a fundamental truth about the 'Brangelina' split: the financial and personal entanglement remains profound. The legal tussle over the French estate, which began in 2022, serves as a constant reminder that the former couple is still deeply connected through shared assets and a shared history.
The latest court orders for private message disclosure ensure that the public will continue to receive fresh, and often unflattering, details about the end of their relationship. For fans and observers, the saga remains compelling because it is less a simple divorce and more a sustained, complex legal war that continues to define the lives of two of the world's most famous celebrities and their children.
As Brad Pitt moves forward with a seemingly stable new relationship and Angelina Jolie refocuses on her action film career and personal well-being, the Miraval lawsuit remains the final, high-stakes battlefield in their long-running conflict, promising more explosive revelations in the months to come.
