Brad Pitt And Ines De Ramon Are Seeing Each Other
Only time will tell if a relationship between the pair is in the works, but according to a report by Us Weekly, a source claims they're "spending time together" but are not a couple yet.
"Brad is smitten with Ines, but they aren't officially dating," the source told Us, further revealing that "they've been spending time together as friends and really enjoy each other's company."
The source also added that the Oscar Award-winning actor "wasn't expecting to find someone so extraordinary like de Ramon, " but "they are becoming great friends" and will see what "blossoms from there."
Pitt was first seen with the jeweler at a concert in Los Angeles in November, where he introduced her to his friends. With this new revelation, fans' wish of seeing Pitt reunited with actress Jennifer Aniston may never come to fruition.
Ines De Ramon Is Divorced From Paul Wesley
The fitness coach and jewelry designer secretly got married to "Vampire's Diaries" actor Paul Wesley in 2019 but got divorced in 2022 after three years.
The couple's representative stated to Us Weekly at the time of their split that "the decision to separate" was mutual and that they had requested that others respect their privacy.
De Ramon and Wesley first became linked in 2018 and gave rise to marriage rumors after they were seen wearing wedding bands. Nina Dobrev, a friend of Wesley's, later confirmed that they had wedded.
Since the pair prefers to keep their private lives private, little is known about them; however, they don't share any children.
Brad Pitt's Legal Back And Forth With Ex-Wife Angelina Jolie
Since 2016, when Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from the "Ocean's Eleven" actor, they have been embroiled in a lengthy legal dispute.
Pitt and Jolie had their first encounter while working on "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" in 2005, which sparked a lot of debate because the actor was married at the time.
The "Maleficent" actress requested full physical custody of their six children when she filed for divorce, claiming that this was "done for the wellbeing of the family."
According to a report by Us Weekly, Pitt opened up on his experience post-divorce a year later, saying, "I was really on my back and chained to a system when Child Services was called."
"And you know, after that, we've been able to work together to sort this out. We're both doing our best. I heard one lawyer say, 'No one wins in court — it's just a matter of who gets hurt worse.' And it seems to be true. You spend a year just focused on building a case to prove your point and why you're right and why they're wrong, and it's just an investment in vitriolic hatred," the actor disclosed.
As they prepared for their October 2020 custody trial, in which Pitt sought a 50/50 physical custody split of the children, news leaked that "tensions had dramatically" worsened between Pitt and Jolie, with family counseling no longer taking place.
Brad Pitt's Other Past Relationships
The "Ad Astra" actor has previously been linked with several women in the past. There were rumors about a potential relationship between the actor and model Emily Ratajkowski in September.
A source for the Daily Mail shared that "they spend a lot of time together, and friends are unsure whether it's serious, it continues. They don't seem to be formally 'dating.'"
At the time, the source noted that the actor was enjoying the process of dating and being a single guy again, adding that he was taking his time before committing to anything serious.
The actor was also linked to actress Alia Shawkat in 2019, but a source close to them said they were "just friends." In 2020, he briefly dated model Nicole Poturalski, but the duo ended things after a few months together.
