The source said Ines made it known that “life would be much more enjoyable” if he settled.
Another insider told Page Six, “Ines is a positive influence on Brad. She has a really good perspective on things. It’s sad how this whole thing has played out, but at least this is progress in the right direction.”

Angelina filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016 after two years of marriage.
Jolie’s lawyers told People that the stars signed the divorce docs December 30.
James Simon, Jolie's attorney, also told the magazine in a statement, “More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family. This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over."
People adds, “Both parties have requested a jury trial lasting 10 to 15 days and have agreed to participate in a settlement conference or mediation session as a form of alternative dispute resolution.”
