On August 23, 2014, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie tied the knot at their exclusive French vineyard, "Chateau Miraval." The couple has six children together, named Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox. 

 

On September 19, 2016, Jolie submitted her divorce application. She insisted on having primary custody of the kids. The French vineyard they once co-owned has since become the focus of a heated legal dispute following Jolie's 2021 sale of her stake, which Pitt alleges was unlawful. The case is still unresolved.
