Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie split in September 2016 after two years of marriage and over a decade together since they starred as the titular couple in the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. However, it took eight years for the former couple to finalize their divorce, which was only reached on December 30, 2024.
Now, five months after the divorce was settled, Brad Pitt finally breaks his silence about the end of his second marriage and the lengthy divorce proceedings that came after. While doing a press run for his F1 movie, he spoke to GQ about the divorce. In the feature that was published on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, the actor was asked if he felt relieved that the divorce was finally settled, and he said:
"No, I don't think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally."
While the divorce wasn't finalized until the end of 2024, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been declared legally single since 2019. It came years after Jolie filed to end her marriage to the Hollywood actor following a private plane incident where he allegedly became abusive to her and their children. The exes share six kids: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and the twins Knox and Vivienne.
After his divorce from Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt has been dating Ines de Ramon, who was previously married to actor Paul Wesley, since 2022.
Brad Pitt stars in the upcoming F1 movie as a veteran Formula One driver
Directed by Top Gun: Maverick filmmaker Joseph Kosinski, F1 the movie stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a Formula One driver who was at the height of his career in the 1990s until a horrible crash forced him to retire. In the movie, he's returning to the game as the new member of an ailing team, APXGP, alongside a promising rookie driver, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris).
Pitt teased what audiences can expect to see in the movie behind the storyline of his character. In an interview with Sky Sports in 2023, he said:
"Tell you what's amazing about it. You'll see the cameras mounted all over the car. You've never seen speed, you've never seen the G-forces like this. It's really amazing."
Besides Kosinski, Pitt, and Idris, the F1 movie also brings some of the biggest names in both the movie industry and the Formula One world. Oscar-winning Spanish actor Javier Bardem will also star in the film as the APXGP team's owner, who needs a Hail Mary to get his team, which places last at 21 and 22 on the grid, back in the leaderboard.
Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Simone Ashley, Shea Whigham, Joseph Baderrama, and more will also star in the film. Meanwhile, there will be appearances from the drivers and engineers of the current 10 real-life Formula 1 racing teams.
Besides the involvement of the teams, F1 legend Lewis Hamilton, who has won seven driver's championships, also serves as a producer in the movie. It will be the first time Hamilton will work together with Kosinski after the latter almost directed the F1 legend, who was slated to play Fanboy (eventually played by Danny Ramirez) in Maverick.
Brad Pitt's F1 movie will arrive in movie theaters worldwide starting on June 27, 2025.
