On 30 December, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reached a settlement after eight years of legal stalemate. But it\u2019s not quite curtain call; the divorce settlement is separate to the ongoing tussle over the for- mer spouses\u2019 vineyard, Chateau Miraval, and the trial over whether Jolie had the legal right to sell her shares in Miraval is still scheduled for April this year.<\/p>\n Confirming news of the settlement, Jolie\u2019s lawyer James Simon said, \u2018This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.\u2019 Pitt\u2019s team has not yet publicly commented.<\/p>\n \u2018Angelina hates the fact it\u2019s gone on this long and can\u2019t wait to put it all behind her. Not least so she can move overseas and get away from LA, a city she has very little time for these days, as she\u2019s openly admitted,\u2019 a source close to the star tells Grazia, adding that it\u2019s widely assumed that she will set up home in Europe or Cambodia.<\/p>\n News of the divorce settlement comes as Jolie is hot on the awards campaign trail. She is tipped for an Oscar nomination for her performance in biopic Maria, which hits UK cinemas on 10 January. Maria charts the final years of opera singer Maria Callas, a time when she was living alone in Paris and strug- gling with depression and addiction. In inter- views, Jolie has said she relates to Callas\u2019s work ethic, as well as her vulnerability. She underwent several months of vocal training to prepare for the role and reportedly learned to breathe in an entirely new way.<\/p>\n <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Jolie\u2019s two eldest children, Maddox and Pax, both worked on the film in the assistant director department. Having her sons on set was emotional for Jolie. \u2018[Callas] has a lot of pain and they\u2019ve of course seen me go through a lot of things, but they hadn\u2019t expe- rienced me expressing a lot of the pain that usually a parent hides from a child,\u2019 Jolie said in an interview with the BBC. \u2018So they were there to witness some of that, but then we would hug or they\u2019d bring me cups of tea.\u2019<\/p>\n In 1999, Jolie won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Girl, Interrupted, but the Best Actress statuette eluded her when she was nominated for 2008 film Changeling (the gong went to Marion Cotillard for La Vie En Rose). Maria could be Jolie\u2019s chance to finally clinch the most coveted accolade. \u2018Of course an Oscar would be the icing on the cake and she\u2019s quietly confident about her chances,\u2019 the insider says, although the com- petition will be stiff, with Kate Winslet (for Lee) and Tilda Swinton (for The Room Next Door) among names touted for a win.<\/p>\n This year, Jolie will also celebrate a land- mark birthday, turning 50 in June, a mile- stone she is not daunted by, says the source. \u2018She looks at age as an achievement and isn\u2019t hung up on the fact she\u2019s turning 50 at all.\u2019 She has several new projects in the works and will continue filming her next movie, Stitches, a drama set during Paris Fashion Week. It will mean more time spent in the French capital where she also filmed some of Maria.<\/p>\n \u2018Angelina has a lot of friends in the city, including Salma Hayek and her husband Francois-Henri Pinault, who split their time between Paris and London,\u2019 the source says. \u2018Paris is high on the list of places to relocate once all of her legal problems with Brad are over and done with. She is longing to start afresh at the earliest opportunity. The stress and heartache has gone on now for what seems like a lifetime.\u2019 Perhaps 2025 will be the year Jolie is able to turn the page.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”] Photo: <\/b>Imago<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ‘Angelina is exhausted,’ an insider shares.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":5920,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"guestgrazia","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5918"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5918\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5924,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5918\/revisions\/5924"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}‘Angelina is exhausted’<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
