Brad Pitt to Angelina Jolie I Want to Chill at Our $164M Estate!!! Fighting Effort to Delay Court Battle
Published
Brad Pittand Angelina Jolie are going back and forth in court about when the trial will begin in their bitter legal battle … with Brad claiming he doesn’t want to delay too long, saying he would LOVE to start using his mega-mansion in France once again — TMZ has learned.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, the exes can’t agree on the start date for their trial in the fight over the French winery Chateau Miraval, which they purchased together while married.
Bradsued Angelina, claiming she sold her stake in the winery without his permission … while Angelina said she didn’t need him to sign off on the deal after her negotiations with him broke down.
According to court docs, the yearslong dispute is currently set for trial on February 1, 2027 … but Angelina is asking for it to be pushed to November 2027.
Brad said he was willing to move the date by two months — but not until late 2027, like his ex-wife wants — claiming the delay has been depriving him of “the quiet enjoyment of his home in France.” Brad has issues with the new owner, who he believes has attempted a “hostile takeover” of the winery business.
In his filing, Brad also claims the winery business has been “stymied by the dispute,” and says he wants the dispute resolved as soon as possible so that everyone “can move on with their lives.”
Brad also insists that a quicker trial date is necessary to ensure key witnesses are still around … adding that Angelina’s former business manager, Terry Bird, “unfortunately passed away” and her other lawyer may be “too ill to testify.”
Brad said Angelina has provided no valid reason to delay the trial.
For her part, Angelina said that Brad was the one who brought a lawsuit with complicated issues and out-of-country witnesses.
Angelina is also scoffing at Brad’s statement that he has not been able to enjoy Miraval, claiming “there is no evidence anywhere that Mr. Pitt’s ability to live in his own home has been impacted by this case one iota.”

THE POINTS GUY
Welcome offer: Earn 200,000 bonus points after spending $20,000 on purchases in the first three months of card membership.
Why we love it: Carly Helfand, TPG’s director of points, miles and credit card content, loves the statement credits on her Amex Business Platinum, especially since they led to her enjoying up to $600 in hotel credits** last year. She said she’s already used the benefit twice — once last December for a stay at Wynn Las Vegas and once in February for a stay at the Andaz Prague.
Carly also loves the card’s Hilton statement credit of up to $50 per quarter on eligible purchases made directly with a property in the Hilton portfolio***. She said she finds these credits super easy to maximize and recently used one to cover poolside dining charges at the Boeira Garden Hotel Porto Gaia, Curio Collection by Hilton in Portugal.

In the world of cobranded hotel cards, the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant provides solid top-tier perks for those loyal to the brand.
THE POINTS GUY
Welcome offer: Earn 200,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 on purchases in the first six months of card membership. This offer ends May 13.
Why we love it: Senior editor Christine Gallipeau initially added the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant to her wallet to receive the card’s automatic Platinum Elite status, which she knew she’d take full advantage of while traveling, as well as during staycations in the Washington, D.C., area with her hotel-loving pup. However, it now stays in her wallet for several other reasons.
In addition to enjoying late checkout and free breakfast at select Marriott properties, Christine also maximizes the card’s dining statement credits (up to $25 each month for eligible dining purchases worldwide). She also loves applying her annual free night award (worth up to 85,000 points; certain hotels have resort fees) toward a staycation each year at one of her favorite local hotels, The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, Washington, D.C., where rates are often close to or over $1,000 a night.
