The Hollywood stars met on the set of their 2005 action comedy film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and tied the knot in 2014 at Chateau Miraval in the south of France.
Two years later, news broke that the actress and former UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador filed for a divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences."
In a joint statement, the "Girl, Interrupted" star and 56-year-old actor agreed to settle their divorce in private to "preserve the privacy" of their kids. They also vowed to keep a united upfront.
"The parties and their counsel have signed agreements to preserve the privacy rights of their children and family by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge to make any necessary legal decisions and to facilitate the expeditious resolution of any remaining issues," the statement read as obtained by CNN.

For months, the two have been amicable when it comes to co-parenting.
During the onset of the global pandemic, Pitt was seen leaving Jolie's gated community in Los Angeles.

In addition, she was worried that he might have a bias decision with the ongoing case.
The "AD Astra" actor clapped back and mentioned that his ex-wife "has gone way too far," per People. The source also revealed that the award-winning actor left no choice "but to dig in and fight back."
