While Tinseltown has seen its fair share of high-profile romances, none have dominated the headlines quite like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Despite starting out on a rather controversial note, the duo’s union was nothing short of picture-perfect.
Things took an unexpected turn in 2016 when, merely two years after the birth of their now 14-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, Pitt and Jolie filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Since then, the duo has been embroiled in a series of court battles, with their most recent revolving around the control of their jointly-owned winery, Château Miraval.
Beyond their disputes over shared assets, Jolie and Pitt have also found themselves at loggerheads over Pitt's burgeoning, albeit incredibly private romance with Paul Wesley’s ex-wife, Ines de Ramon. With insiders suggesting that Jolie is unhappy with the romance and determined to warn de Ramon about Pitt, fans can’t help but wonder; Are de Ramon and Pitt keeping their relationship under wraps to keep Jolie from interfering?
Inside Ines De Ramon And Brad Pitt's Relationship
Brad Pitt’s romance with 32-year-old Swiss jewelry professional Ines de Ramon has been making headlines for quite some time now. The duo reportedly started dating back in 2022, after meeting through a mutual friend.
“They] recently started dating. [But] it’s not an exclusive relationship,” a source close to Pitt revealed to People in November 2022. “Ines is cute, fun and energetic. She has a great personality. Brad enjoys spending time with her.”
However, per insiders, it wasn’t long before the casual fling turned into something serious. “Brad has gone from seeing this as a fling to wanting to spend all his time with her,” a source revealed to Us Weekly in December 2022. “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.”
The twosome reportedly bonded over their shared experience with divorce, with Pitt providing de Ramon with a much-needed shoulder to lean on in the aftermath of her divorce from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star Paul Wesley.
“Ines does the same for Brad who is unfortunately still dealing with his messy divorce from Angie,” a source revealed to Daily Mail. “They actually bonded over their divorces and are quite serious. She has met most of his kids.”
How Does Angelina Jolie Feel About Brad Pitt’s Romance With Ines De Ramon?
From MIT professor and architect Neri Oxman to models Nicole Poturalski and Emily Ratajkowski, Brad Pitt has led quite the colorful dating life since his 2016 split from Angelina Jolie. However, insiders suggest that Jolie had made a point of ignoring Pitt's romantic escapades unless they're serious enough to affect their children: Pax, Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox.
“Angelina has a policy to ignore stories in the press about Brad and who he may or may not be dating," a source revealed to Hollywood Life in September 2022. "The day he comes to her and says he plans to introduce someone to their kids she will pay attention but until then it's really of no interest to her."
Now that Pitt has introduced Ines de Ramon to "most of his kids," fans must wonder: Is Jolie finally paying attention? Well, as it turns out, the mother of six has not only caught wind of the romance, but is intent on having a rather intense chat with de Ramon.
“Brad’s new relationship is a sore topic for Ange,” an insider revealed to Heat World. “Ange wants to take control of the situation instead of sitting in the shadows watching, and hopes to meet up with Ines one-on-one. She wants to tell her side of the story about her time with Brad and then Ines can make up her own mind.”
According to the Heat World insider, the Maleficent star feels entitled to intervene since Pitt’s new romance could impact the welfare of her kids. “Brad is still the father of their kids, so Ange feels entitled to involve herself in his life,” the source revealed.
“She can see for herself that things are getting serious between him and Ines – Brad’s even talking marriage – but she feels it will eventually go wrong. If Ines isn’t interested in hearing her warning now, Ange thinks she’ll be glad of it down the line.”
Are Ines De Ramon And Brad Pitt Keeping Their Relationship Private Because Of Angelina Jolie?
Despite dating for months, Ines de Ramon and Brad Pitt have been keeping their relationship under tight wraps. “[Ines] is glad to be starting this new chapter and really enjoys Brad’s company,” an insider disclosed to ET in February. “Ines is trying to protect their relationship as much as possible. She’s keeping things private and low-key. Her loved ones and co-workers are happy for her.”
With Jolie seemingly intent on putting a spanner in the works, could the duo be maintaining a low profile to prevent her from interfering? Well, as it turns out, Jolie's intention to caution de Ramon about Brad Pitt has very little to do with their desire for privacy.
According to insiders, the twosome, like many celebrity couples, are wary of exposing their relationship to unnecessary public scrutiny. “Ines is pretty chill and private,” an insider revealed to ET in January. “She has been somewhat overwhelmed by the attention she has received from being photographed with Brad.”
In fact, Pitt couldn't be less bothered by Jolie’s feelings about his romance with de Ramon. {Brad Pitt] doesn't give a damn what Angie thinks,” yet another insider revealed to Mail Online in February.
“In fact he wants her to know that he is happy with someone else. Brad does not care what Paul thinks of him, nor what Paul thinks of him dating Ines. Even though Paul is out of the picture, Brad and Ines are going to continue keeping it on the DL.”
