Brad Pitt Claims Finalizing Years-Long Angelina Jolie Divorce Was Not That 'Major Of A Thing'
Brad Pitt has opened up about reaching the end of his protracted divorce from Angelina Jolie. The actor admitted he felt "relief" over the decision, but still doesn't consider it a "major" thing.
Before finalizing the divorce in December, Pitt and Jolie had been in a nearly decade-long battle after they announced their separation in 2016.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's disputes included the separation of assets and custody issues, with the duo still currently feuding over their French vineyard, Château Miraval.
After nearly a decade of court battles, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie finalized their divorce in December.
The former Hollywood power couple had been locked in disputes over assets and custody, which took quite a toll on both sides and led to several media back-and-forths.
Now, Pitt has revealed that he feels "relieved" that part of his life is over and he can officially move on.
The actor made the revelation in his interview with GQ Magazine, which covered the creation of his new "F1" movie.
However, despite how long the battle dragged on and the legal costs he likely incurred, Pitt said the finalization wasn't a huge deal to him, just something that was bound to happen eventually.
"No, I don't think it was that major of a thing," the actor told the outlet. "Just something coming to fruition. Legally."
Elsewhere in his conversation with the publication, Pitt reflected on how his "personal life is always in the news" and admitted that it has been a constant "annoyance" to deal with over the years.
"It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way," the "Bullet Train" star said. "It's been an annoyance I've had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do."
"So, it's always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don't know. I don't know," Pitt added.
Despite all of this attention, the actor thinks his life is "fairly contained," as he is surrounded by the best possible people.
"It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it's like this fly buzzing around a little bit."
In the meantime, Brad Pitt has found new love with jewelry executive Ines de Ramon, who was previously married to actor Paul Wesley.
The pair began dating in 2022, three years after Pitt's legal separation from Angelina Jolie.
After keeping their relationship private for several months, the couple began making public appearances together, including at premieres and other high-profile events.
They also showed up together at the 2024 British Grand Prix, which Pitt explained in his GQ interview wasn't planned.
"It's not that calculated," Pitt shared. "If you're living, oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you're living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve."
Early last year, the lovebirds finally moved in together, a move that further solidified their relationship.
As they now approach their third anniversary, they are reportedly still going strong despite the rumors that Pitt's busy work schedule strained their relationship.
"They're genuinely happy and very much in love," a source revealed, per the Daily Mail.
They added, "Brad appreciates being with someone outside of Hollywood—it keeps things balanced, with no sense of rivalry or jealousy."
Despite Pitt and de Ramon's blossoming romance, the possibility of marriage or kids seems unlikely for now, as the actor is yet to get over the emotional baggage from his previous marriage.
"Brad is totally in love with Ines, but he doesn't want to go down the road of marriage and kids," an insider told the Daily Mail.
They continued, "He's been burned badly by the divorce from Angelina and his kids wanting little if nothing to do with him. He's 61 and loving his life just the way it is."

World leaders call for deescalation after US bombs Iran
World capitals reacted to the surprise US attack on Iranian nuclear sites with a mix of calls for restraint and statements of condemnation. Trump had indicated on Friday he would make a decision in the next two weeks as to whether the US would bomb Iran in support of Israel, but the suddenness of the weekend strikes suggested that deadline was a red herring, with The Atlantic reporting that the president had already made up his mind last week. As the impact of the strikes was still being assessed Sunday, European and Gulf leaders appeared united in calls for diplomacy and restraint, while Iran's longtime allies, China and Russia, criticized the aerial assault as a gross escalation that could lead to further war. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, whose foreign minister met with Iran's top diplomat last week as part of European efforts to avert the strikes, in a post on X urged Iran 'to return to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis.' The plea for diplomacy was echoed by French President Emmanuel Macron, who in his own social media post Sunday called for restraint from Tehran and a return to 'dialogue,' as well as a commitment by Iran to renounce nuclear weapons. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called on Iran to 'immediately begin negotiations with the US and Israel' to find a diplomatic resolution. The German government believes 'significant parts' of Tehran's nuclear program were impacted in the strikes, but a precise assessment was not immediately possible. The European Union also echoed bloc leaders' calls for restraint, with the EU's top diplomat Kaja Kallas writing on social media that she urged 'all sides to step back, return to the negotiating table and prevent further escalation.' European Council President Antonio Costa said the bloc would work with allies to find a 'peaceful solution' to the conflict, and stressed the human toll of further possible attacks: 'Too many civilians will once again be the victims of a further escalation,' he said. United Nations chief António Guterres said in a statement that he was 'gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran,' adding that the strikes represented a 'dangerous escalation' for the region. 'There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace,' Guterres said, calling on UN members to deescalate the conflict. The UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, said Sunday that it found no increase in off-site radiation levels after the strikes on the nuclear facilities, and that it would continue to monitor the situation. The UN Security Council was expected to meet later on Sunday to discuss the situation. China's foreign ministry said Sunday that Beijing 'strongly condemns' the US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, accusing Washington of violating international law and escalating regional tensions. 'China calls on all parties to the conflict, especially Israel, to cease fire as soon as possible,' the ministry said in a statement, adding that Beijing was 'willing to work with the international community to uphold justice and restore peace and stability in the Middle East.' Russia's Foreign Ministry said Moscow 'strongly condemned' the strikes, echoing China's accusation that they represented 'a gross violation of international law, the U.N. Charter, and U.N. Security Council resolutions.' Senior Kremlin official and former president Dmitry Medvedev went further, suggesting Trump's decision to strike Iran had 'started a new war for the U.S.,' and that the Iranian regime would likely be strengthened by Washington's involvement. In a post on X, Medvedev, who is the deputy chair of Russian President Vladimir Putin's Security Council, indicated that a 'number of countries' could also decide to supply Tehran with nuclear weapons following the US strikes. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the US strikes, saying they were carried out 'in full coordination' with Israel. He said US President Donald Trump's leadership 'created a pivot of history that can help lead the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity and peace.' Netanyahu's main political opponents also praised the operation: Opposition party leader Yair Lapid dismissed critics of the strikes as 'useful idiots.' Saudi Arabia — a longtime rival of Iran's which has in recent months seen slightly improved ties with Tehran — voiced 'deep concern' over the targeting of the Iranian nuclear sites, and reiterated prior remarks which 'condemned and denounced the violation of the sovereignty' of Iran. It urged restraint and de-escalation. Qatar — the globe's third largest exporter of LNG — regretted the 'deterioration of the situation' in its 'sisterly' nation of Iran and called for an immediate cease in hostilities. However, a statement from its foreign ministry notably did not mention who conducted the attacks. Abu Dhabi said the strikes threatened to pull the region 'into deeper levels of instability' and stressed the need for immediate de-escalation. The foreign ministry called on members of the United Nations' Security Council to 'uphold their responsibilities' in response to the hostilities. Oman, which sits across the Strait of Hormuz from Iran and has hosted talks between Washington and Tehran over Iran's nuclear program, said it 'deplores' the US strikes, which it characterized as an 'illegal aggression,' adding that the attack contravened international agreements allowing Iran to develop a 'peaceful' nuclear program. The Kingdom of Bahrain called for negotiations to restart between the US and Iran, adding that a diplomatic approach 'is essential to restoring regional peace and security and to protecting the peoples of the region from the consequences of war,' according to the state news agency. The country, which is home to a US military base, urged civilian drivers to avoid main roads Sunday as a precaution: Tehran has previously indicated it would consider attacking regional US military bases if Washington decided to strike the country.

Pusha T 新歌〈So Be It〉再對 Travis Scott 開火，揭露兩人之間恩怨始末
在 Clipse 最新單曲〈So Be It〉中，Pusha T再度將矛頭對準Travis Scott。 在 Pharrell 操刀的節拍襯托下，Push 與 Malice 行雲流水，前者更以火力全開的 verse 直擊 La Flame：「你在我面前哭泣，你在我面前喪命／Calabasas 把你的女人和自尊都奪走／聽說UTOPIA已經搬到街角／她的唇蜜閃到發光，她不用靠你吃飯。」這段歌詞不僅點名 Travis Scott 的最新專輯，也影射了他與 Kylie Jenner 的分手。 Pusha T 向《GQ》透露，兩人的嫌隙始於 Travis Scott 在 Louis Vuitton 總部放給 Pharrell 試聽《UTOPIA》中〈Meltdown〉的版本時，該版本並未包含 Drake diss 他本人的 verse。 Push 指出，Scott 之後把 Drake 的 verse 加回歌曲，卻仍照樣播放給 Pharrell，此舉被他視為毫無忠誠可言，只在對自己有利時才選邊站。 Pusha T 續批 Scott 經常沒有立場，誰都可以，「跟誰都可以；〈Sicko Mode〉也是如此」。 他更強烈批評：「這就是我不滿的原因——兄弟，別把那一套帶到我這裡來，因為我不玩你們那種遊戲。對我來說，他就是…婊子。」 除了釋出〈So Be It〉的 MV，Clipse 亦同步公開新專輯《Let God Sort Em Out》的另一款 Verdy 視覺封面及周邊，包括 Verdy 風格 T-shirt、Vick 圖案，以及黑膠、CD 和卡式帶。 這對兄弟檔闊別 16 年的首張專輯《Let God Sort Em Out》，將於 7 月 11 日正式發行，相關周邊已於官方網店上架。

Paris' iconic cauldron from the Olympic Games returns to light up summer nights
Associated Press PARIS (AP) — A year after it captivated crowds during the Paris Olympics, a centerpiece of the summer Games made a comeback Saturday to light up the French capital's skyline. The iconic helium-powered balloon that attracted myriads of tourists during the summer Games has shed its Olympic branding and is now just called the 'Paris Cauldron.' It rose again into the air later Saturday, lifting off over the Tuileries Garden just as the sun was about to set. Despite the suffocating hot weather in Paris, around 30,000 people were expected to attend the launch, which coincided with France's annual street music festival — the Fete de la Musique, the Paris police prefecture said. And it won't be a one-time event. After Saturday's flight, the balloon will lift off into the sky each summer evening from June 21 to Sept. 14, for the next three years. The cauldron's ascent may become a new rhythm of the Parisian summer, with special flights planned for Bastille Day on July 14 and the anniversary of the 2024 opening ceremony on July 26. Gone is the official 'Olympic' branding — forbidden under International Olympic Committee reuse rules — but the spectacle remains. The 30-meter (98-foot) -tall floating ring, dreamed up by French designer Mathieu Lehanneur and powered by French energy company EDF, simulates flame without fire: LED lights, mist jets and high-pressure fans create a luminous halo that hovers above the city at dusk, visible from rooftops across the capital. Though it stole the show in 2024, the cauldron was only meant to be temporary, not engineered for multi-year outdoor exposure. To transform it into a summer staple, engineers reinforced it. The aluminum ring and tether points were rebuilt with tougher components to handle rain, sun and temperature changes over several seasons. Though it's a hot-air-balloon-style, the lift comes solely from helium — no flame, no burner, just gas and engineering. The structure first dazzled during the Olympics. Over just 40 days, it drew more than 200,000 visitors, according to officials. Now anchored in the center of the drained Tuileries pond, the cauldron's return is part of French President Emmanuel Macron's effort to preserve the Games' spirit in the city, as Paris looks ahead to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. in this topic
