Brad and Angelina reached a divorce settlement in January, agreeing to keep proceedings private. 

The 'Maleficent' star filed for divorce from her husband - whom she had been in a relationship with since 2004, and married to since 2014 - on September 19, citing 'irreconcilable differences'. 

Earlier this year, Brad, 52 and Angelina - who have children Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twin Knox and Vivienne - reached an agreement to resolve their divorce and custody dispute in private.

They announced in a statement: 'The parties and their counsel have signed agreements to preserve the privacy rights of their children and family by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge to make any necessary legal decisions and to facilitate the expeditious resolution of any remaining issues.

'The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification.' 

The former couple owned a huge portfolio of property together, including a mansion in New Orleans, which they sold in October and their French estate Chateau Miraval, where they tied the knot. 

Sources told US Weekly in October that Chateau Miraval 'has been valued and is going on the market any day now.' 

The 1,200-acre property was purchased by the now estranged couple for an estimated $60 million back in 2012. They had previously leased it starting in 2008.

'It currently says 'Jolie-Pitt' on the Château Miraval bottles, and the next season's batch will have a new reprinted label with no names written on it,' sources told Us Weekly. 

Meanwhile, the exes have finally seemed to call it truce for the sake of their brood.

Brad, 53, recently flew to Cambodia to attend the the premiere of Angelina's new film First They Killed My Father to spend time with their children. 

'Brad came to Cambodia in secret to spend time with the kids,' an insider said.

'They were with Angelina for probably 75 percent of the time when Brad was in the country and they'd go back and forth between her and Brad.' 

The two seemed to have called a truce earlier this year after they agreed to keep the details of their custody arrangements private.

'Things have calmed settled between Brad and Angelina. It's not as tense as it had been,' a source told E! News last week.

'They are focused on the kids and working to do what's best for them. Brad has been able to spend more time with the kids. He's doing well and is focused on healthy, clean living. He's in a good place.'

Last week People magazine added that the By The Sea costars are talking directly to each other now.

'He's much happier,' a source said of the Troy star. 'He's very relieved that things are not playing out in public anymore.

Angelina reportedly currently has sole custody of their children, and recently opened up to the BBC about the shock split, admitting it was difficult.

'It was a very difficult time and we're a family. And we will always be a family. 

'Many, many people find themselves in this situation.

'My focus is my children, our children, and my focus is finding this way through and as I said we are and forever will be a family and so that is how I am coping.
