Brad Pitt Focuses on New Relationship After Finalizing Divorce from Angelina Jolie
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Brad Pitt, 61, is moving forward with his life after finalizing his eight-year divorce from Angelina Jolie, focusing on his relationship with 32-year-old jewelry designer Ines de Ramon. The couple, who have been together for over a year, are reportedly committed to each other but are in no rush to marry.
Pitt and de Ramon, who was previously married to actor Paul Wesley, are taking their relationship at a steady pace. A source close to the couple told Us Weekly, “They aren’t putting any pressure on marriage. They are committed to each other and very serious.” The insider added that Pitt is “not interested in marriage again at this time,” a sentiment that aligns with de Ramon’s approach to their future.
De Ramon has been a stabilizing force in Pitt’s life, encouraging him to resolve his legal battles with Jolie before considering starting a family together. “Ines wants to have a life together — with possibly children in the future — without the albatross that was the eight-year War of the Roses,” the source revealed. “She has made [it known that] her opinion is that life would be much more enjoyable with this settled.”
Despite the progress in his personal life, Pitt still faces challenges in reconciling with his six children: Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. The children sided with Jolie following the couple’s highly publicized split in 2016. “Brad isn’t in contact with the older kids. It’s a very sad situation for him,” the source shared, noting that his relationship with the twins is also not particularly close.
De Ramon has reportedly been supportive of Pitt’s efforts to rebuild his relationships with his children while creating a stable home life with her. The couple’s relationship, though not headed toward marriage, appears to be a source of strength for Pitt as he navigates these complex family dynamics.
Pitt, who won an Oscar for his role in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” has been focusing on his career and personal growth in recent years. His relationship with de Ramon marks a new chapter, one that prioritizes emotional well-being over societal expectations.
