The split heard round the world has ended with a whimper.
Six months after first filing the paperwork, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are officially, legally, finally divorced.
"Judgment of dissolution is entered," the legal document, issued last month by retired Judge Jill S. Robbins, reads. "Marital or domestic partnership status is terminated and the parties are restored to the status of single persons."
Though the divorce papers were signed off on in August, Hollywood's once-golden couple was forced to wait until Oct. 2 for the divorce to be finalized.
Neither Pitt, 41, nor Aniston, 36, sought alimony in the split and their only remaining joint asset, the renovated Beverly Hills mansion they once shared, is currently on the market for a cool $28 million.
America's favorite Friend and her former hubby tied the knot in July 2000, two years after first becoming a couple. The camera-ready duo's lavish, star-studded Malibu ceremony was attended by 200 of their closest pals, including Courteney Cox and David Arquette, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, Cameron Diaz, Edward Norton and Salma Hayek. It was the first marriage for both.
Since the Hollywood heavyweights announced their split last year, both newly-single actors have had their share of tabloid coverage.
Pitt's much-followed relationship--be it friendly or otherwise--with Mr. & Mrs. Smith costar Angelina Jolie, has been the subject of intense speculation. The pair has long denied any sort of hanky-panky, but the tabloids have become increasingly convinced of a romance. The two have reportedly been shacking up in Pitt's Malibu home and are routinely photographed vacationing together, with Pitt even accompanying Jolie to Africa to adopt baby Zahara.
Aniston, too, has had her share of the media spotlight.
Earlier this summer, the actress gave her first post-split interview to Vanity Fair and recently appeared for a sit-down on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
"I'm doing so well," Aniston told her new BFF Oprah. "It's the media that won't move on. You just want to say, come on, people! Turn a page!"
Aniston also took the opportunity to deny romance rumors of her own, claiming reports of a dalliance with The Break Up costar Vince Vaughn were untrue, but that the duo are friends.
To Vanity Fair, Aniston expressed "shock" at the cozy photos of Pitt and Jolie and said that the career vs. kids debate was never an either/or.
"He makes his choices," the former Friend told the rag. "He can do...whatever. We're [about to be] divorced and you can see why."
But with the big D finally a done deal, the one-time couple can finally turn focus back to their work.
Pitt is currently starring as the titular outlaw in The Assassination of Jesse James, now shooting in Canada, and has two more projects in the works. The big screen heartthrob appears as himself in the comedy Chad Schmidt and reteams with his Fight Club director David Fincher for the backwards-moving romance Benjamin Button, alongside Cate Blanchett.
For her part, Aniston has four films already in the can with three more in the works. In a departure from Rachel Green-type roles, the actress is set to star in a series of dramas, including The Diary, The Senator's Wife, and Wanted, as a prison inmate sharing a cell with Meryl Streep.
Aniston will next appear on the big screen in the thriller Derailed, opposite Clive Owen, this November.
