Speaking at the San Sebasti\u00e1n Film Festival in 2025, Jolie said she loved her country but did not recognise it at this time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">Pitt and Jolie reached a divorce settlement in January 2017, agreeing to keep proceedings private.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"styles__StyledImage-sc-17n6uwl-1 hlcJVa size-full wp-post-1144701 wp-image-1144699\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1144699\" eternals=\"\" uk=\"\" premiere=\"\" red=\"\" carpet=\"\" arrivals=\"\" data-capiid=\"d7befaee10b9e43d249f1115711f7f9f\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&quot;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&quot; viewBox=&quot;0 0 1280 720&quot;%3E%3C\/svg%3E\"  alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1144699\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The former couple \u2014 who share six kids (five of whom pictured above in October 2021) \u2014 finalised their divorce in 2024 after eight years of legal proceedings.

bzEerj\">The pair stated at the time that they were \u201ccommitted to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification\u201d by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">The former couple owned a huge portfolio of property together, including a mansion in New Orleans,

is a 485ha property purchased by the now-estranged couple for an estimated $90m ($US60m) in 2012, after previously leasing it starting in 2008.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ

moved on with jewellery executive Ines de Ramon, and the two reportedly live together at his home in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0
