The duo recently settled their divorce after an eight-year legal battle, and now sources have revealed that Pitt wanted out because he wants to tie the knot next year.

The "Troy" actor is reportedly "relieved" to have settled the case and plans to remarry in 2025. However, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still at war over their Chateau Miraval winery.

According to Daily Maila source familiar with the situation revealed the underlying motive behind Pitt's bid to resolve his contentious divorce dispute with ex-wife Jolie.

An insider told the outlet that the 61-year-old actor was "relieved" about the split after he was tired of it because he believed Jolie was "dragging her legs" on the divorce.

They added that his intention to marry his girlfriend Ines de Ramon in 2025 is the reason why he decided to finalize their divorce.

"They want to get married next year and Brad has agreed because he wants to keep his kids on his side to keep his new marriage going," the insider said. "Obviously, Ines wants to have children too and has been putting pressure on him to sort things out as soon as possible."

The "Fight Club" actor started dating Ramona about two years ago and reportedly introduced her to his inner circle, including best friend George Clooney.

"Brad will be relieved to finally be able to move on and remarry. He wanted his divorce settled much sooner, but he believes Angelina was stalling," another source said of the actor.

The LA-based insider continued: "Angelina will claim she fought for the best deal for their family, but whatever the truth, it ultimately paves the way for him walking down the aisle with Ines."

"He'll be hoping he can build bridges with his kids now that the divorce is finalized, but it looks like a long, hard road," the source added.

Pitt and Jolie share three biological children: Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne, as well as their adopted children Maddox, Pax and Zahara.

The source's claims come after the former couple reached a settlement in their contentious divorce proceedings after being separated for nearly a decade.

Pitt and Jolie met on the set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" in 2003 and began dating shortly after before tying the knot in August 2014.

However, the "Maleficent" actress filed for divorce after just two years, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.

According to Daily Mailput pen to paper just before the New Year with Jolie's divorce attorney, James Simon, saying the actress was "relieved that this one part is over."

"Honestly, Angelina is exhausted," Simon told the paper. "More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children relinquished all the property they shared with Mr. Pitt, and since then she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family."

Pitt and Jolie, however, have not resolved their legal dispute over their former jointly owned Chateau Miraval winery.

In 2022, the actor sued Jolie over the sale of his stake in the French winery, claiming she breached a prior agreement that gave him the right of first refusal.

According to People Magazinehe said Jolie deliberately "wanted to harm him" by selling her half of the business and also tried to tarnish the business's reputation by selling to a "foreigner".

"Jolie pursued and then conducted the purported sale in secret, intentionally keeping Pitt in the dark and knowingly violating Pitt's contractual rights," the document states.

According to Daily Maila source close to the case said the exes are ready to settle their dispute at Chateau Miraval by taking the case to a jury trial or mediation.

However, Jolie might be willing to end the case as soon as possible. The insider said that she was "trying hard to be light after a dark time" and "doesn't speak ill of him in public or in private."

"Kids have grown up seeing that some people have so much power and privilege that their voice doesn't matter. Their pain doesn't count," the source added. "They've wanted her to speak for herself, to defend herself over the years, but she's reminding them to focus on changing the law instead of telling public stories."
