One month after they were first linked, Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon were already celebrating milestones together.
The Oscar winner and de Ramon were spotted hanging out on Pitt’s 59th birthday in December 2022, just weeks after the pair were seen attending a Bono concert with famous pals including Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber and Sean Penn.
“Brad is smitten with Ines,” an insider exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2022. “They’ve been spending time together as friends and really enjoy each other’s company.”
The blossoming romance came following public splits for both Pitt and de Ramon. Pitt and Angelina Jolie called it quits in 2016 and have since battled over custody of their six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox.
Us confirmed in September 2022 that de Ramon had separated from Paul Wesley after three years of marriage. The exes filed for divorce in February 2023.

“Brad and Ines’s relationship is stronger than ever,” a source exclusively told Us. “They spend almost all their free time together, and she’s become very close with his inner circle of friends.”
The insider added: “Although things between them are going great, Brad still hasn’t introduced his kids to Ines. It’s not that he doesn’t love Ines, it’s just that he wants to ensure this relationship is going the distance before he takes that major step.”
Even without bringing his kids into the fold, Pitt is “happy” with his and de Ramon’s relationship. “[He] isn’t in a rush to push things unless it unfolds organically,” the insider told Us.

Pitt’s ongoing legal battle over French winery Château Miraval made headlines when Jolie’s former investment firm Nouvel, which holds the actress’ 50 percent stake in the company, accused him of “looting” and “stripping” the company’s assets, according to court documents obtained by CNN.
Amid the drama, a source exclusively told Us that de Ramon was standing by Pitt’s side.
“It’s widely known that Brad is dealing with a lot of legal drama but Ines’s feelings for him haven’t wavered whatsoever. If anything, it’s only made their connection stronger in a lot of ways because they’re very open and honest when it comes to communication about their lives, whether it be the good or the bad times,” the insider shared. “Ines is very compassionate and is there to show support no matter what. They have a really healthy bond and things are going wonderfully.”

As Pitt and de Ramon’s romance continued to get serious — a source told Us in May 2023 that the pair had started saying “I love you” — the actor introduced his girlfriend to several of his close friends, but was waiting to bring her around his children.
“Before Brad introduces Ines to his kids, he wanted to make sure their relationship had longevity because that’s not something he takes lightly,” a source exclusively told Us.

The couple were spotted at a large dinner party together at Fouquet’s on the Champs-Élysées in Paris per a video shared by Paris Match magazine via Twitter. Their outing comes one week after she and Wesley both filed for divorce from the other.
Pitt also had his partner’s back amid her divorce from Wesley, an insider exclusively told Us.
“Brad has been really supportive of Ines while she’s going through her divorce because he understands how it can be,” the source shared. “Although Brad knows Ines is completely independent and can handle things on her own, he’s let her know that she can always open up to him about anything. He’s definitely into her and although things are still relatively new, he absolutely sees long-term potential in their relationship.”
The insider added: “Brad and Ines have definitely grown closer over the past few months. They spend as much of their free time together as possible, despite their busy schedules. He really enjoys being with her because she’s such an uplifting energy, she consistently looks on the bright side of things, and is always up for an adventure. He also appreciates that she’s super laid back and has such a positive outlook on life.”

An insider told Us that Pitt and de Ramon can’t get enough of each other. “They’ve been hanging out a ton, taking in art shows in L.A. and jamming to music and watching movies over at his place,” the source said. “He’s been cooking for her, they work out and go on hikes, go over projects they both have and bounce ideas off each other too.”
The source hinted that the Babylon actor might be ready for things to get serious. “Brad has gone from seeing this as a fling to wanting to spend all his time with her,” the insider explained. “The other girls he was flirting with or considering as dates have all gradually disappeared. It seems just a matter of time before they’re officially exclusive.”
