Brad Pitt’s girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, is making waves in his life. The 61-year-old actor has finally decided to settle his bitter eight-year divorce with Angelina Jolie, and sources say Ines played a crucial role in his decision.
A close insider revealed on Tuesday that the 32-year-old jewelry executive urged Brad to end his long-running legal battle with Angelina. Why? So they could have a life together — and maybe even children in the future.
“Ines wants a life with Brad, and that means putting this divorce behind them,” the source said. “She believes their future will be much brighter once this is settled. She made it clear that life would be more enjoyable without the baggage from the past.“
Ines, who began dating Brad in late 2022, has apparently made Brad see that it’s time for closure. She’s not just a girlfriend; she’s a supportive partner who’s all about moving forward. Brad, it seems, is ready to take that step — for himself and for Ines.
The Divorce Drama: A long Wait for Closure
Brad and Angelina’s divorce has been a messy affair. The couple split in September 2016 after 12 years together, citing “irreconcilable differences.” They’ve been legally single since 2019, but the battle over assets and custody dragged on.
In December, they finally reached a settlement. But there’s still tension over one key issue: the French estate they once shared, Chateau Miraval. The $62 million property, which includes a vineyard, remains a bone of contention.
“At least there’s progress,” said another source. “It’s been a long road, but now it feels like they’re finally moving forward.“
In June, Brad said he is open to having kids with Ines. The timing couldn’t be more perfect. With the divorce nearing its end, Brad and Ines can focus on their future — a future that may include expanding their family.
Jolie’s Take: Relief after eight long Years
Angelina, 49, filed for divorce back in 2016. Since then, she’s focused on her children and finding peace. According to her attorney, the settlement is just another step in a long process. “It’s been exhausting,” the lawyer said. “Angelina is relieved that this chapter is finally over.“
Angelina and Brad share six children: Maddox (23), Pax (21), Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and twins Knox and Vivienne (16). Despite the bitter split, both parents agree it’s time to move on.
“The divorce papers were signed because both sides realized it was time to move forward,” the source added. “It was mutually beneficial to get it done with.“
Brad and Ines: A Relationship going strong
Ines and Brad made their public debut as a couple in August 2024 at the Venice Film Festival. The age-gap couple had kept a low profile in their first year of dating, but the red carpet appearance confirmed what many fans had suspected: they’re serious.
An insider close to the couple shared that Brad is “so grateful” for Ines. “She supports him, and she’s not bothered by all the public attention or the legal drama surrounding him. She just wants to focus on their relationship.”
The couple’s chemistry is undeniable. People close to them describe Ines as easygoing and well-liked. She’s a far cry from Brad’s tumultuous past with his exes. “Brad’s very happy with Ines,” one source said. “She makes everything easier.“
The Past: Brad’s previous Marriages
Brad has a history of high-profile relationships. Before Angelina, he was married to Jennifer Aniston. Their divorce in 2005 shocked the world. After his split with Angelina, Brad found love with Ines.
Ines, on the other hand, was previously married to actor Paul Wesley, known for his role in The Vampire Diaries. They split in 2022, and their divorce was finalized in early 2024.
Both Brad and Ines have seen their share of heartache, but they seem determined to build a future together, leaving the past behind.
Final Thoughts: A new Chapter
Brad Pitt’s decision to finally settle his divorce with Angelina Jolie seems to be directly influenced by his relationship with Ines de Ramon. With her support, he’s looking ahead — not back. The couple’s future looks bright, and kids might be part of the plan. But first, the focus is on leaving behind the divorce drama and moving forward into a peaceful life.
It’s a fresh start for Brad. And with Ines by his side, there’s a sense of optimism about what’s to come.
