Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have come to an agreement.
The former couple released their first joint statement since the actress filed for divorce in September.
Pitt and Jolie signed agreements to keep court documents sealed in their custody battle and divorce proceedings to protect the privacy of their six children.

The estranged couple said in a statement obtained by a media outlet: '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 statement concluded.
The 53-year-old is currently allowed supervised visitation with his kidsMaddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienneunder the terms of a temporary agreement with estranged wife Jolie.
Private judges are often used in high-profile divorce cases, keeping many details of a breakup out of the public eye while a final judgment is negotiated.
Brad was last seen on Sunday night as he played presenter at the Golden Globes
Last week, the Maleficent star slammed Brad in court documents while agreeing to his request that documents relating to their custody battle be sealed from public view.

The Moneyball star filed documents last month that accused the actress of compromising the privacy of their brood.
He claimed in court docs that Jolie 'appears to be determined to ignore even agreed upon standards relating to the children's best interest, and ... is attempting to clear the way to put in the public eye any allegations she can, without regard to the impact on the minor children.'
The Oscar-winning actress slammed his statements as audacious in her own response paperwork.
In the documents, she accused Brad of lashing out because he's 'terrified that the public will learn the truth' about his behavior behind closed doors.
The Inglourious Basterds star was exonerated in November by officials with the FBI and Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services, amid accusations he was physically abusive to Maddox during a Europe-bound flight in September.
“There is little doubt that [Brad] would prefer to keep the entire case private, particularly given the detailed investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Dept. of Children and Family Services into allegation of abuse,' the actress said in court docs.
Jolie added that the Fight Club star is trying to 'deflect from [his] own role in the media storm which has engulfed the ... children.'
Pitt and Jolie were married for two years and together for 12 years after becoming close while filming 2005's Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Both actors have kept a relatively low profile since their breakup was announced, although Pitt made an appearance onstage at Sunday's Golden Globes to spirited applause.
Meanwhile, a source with Page Six claimed that Brad's most recent public appearance was swift, as the actor promptly went home after appearing onstage and skipped the festive afterparties.
