A source previously told The Sun: "This has been a very long time coming, but the sums of money involved and the assets are absoutely huge.

"They made it very clear they didn't want to set lawyers on each other but the process hasn't been exactly straightforward all the same.

"The priority was making sure they did right by their son, Angelo," the insider explained.

"The first thing they agreed on was sharing custody, and since then it has been about dividing up the rest of their marital finances clearly."
