According to a report, multiple insiders have confirmed that Brad Pitt and his partner, Ines de Ramon, who was previously married to "Vampire Diaries" star Paul Wesley, are living together.
A source close to the 34-year-old jewelry executive claims the move is "pretty recent," and the couple "are going very strong, and she is happier than ever." The insider also added that de Ramon still maintains her own place.
Although the lovebirds were first seen together in November 2022, reports indicated that the 60-year-old Oscar winner and de Ramon had already been dating for "several months."
Recently, de Ramon reportedly joined her beau and his friends for a "low-key" celebration of his birthday last December during a break from filming his racing movie.
An insider noted that since his birthday celebration, the "Mr and Mrs Smith" actor "seems more relaxed than before" and that he and de Ramon "seem very comfortable."
"He's certainly more at ease than he has been in the past few years," the insider added.
The Couple Attended The Santa Barbara International Film Festival
While Pitt and de Ramon had yet to make a red carpet appearance together, the couple was spotted at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where Pitt honored Bradley Cooper with an award.
In photos obtained by HELLO!, Pitt was clad in a dark-brown suit for the event and sat beside de Ramon, who stunned in a teal halter dress. According to an attendee at the event, Pitt "was very low-key and skipped the red carpet during arrivals."
However, when the "Fight Club" star took the stage to honor Cooper with the Outstanding Performer of the Year award, the insider shared that "the crowd went crazy with excitement."
"He seemed to be in very good spirits onstage when he presented the award to Bradley and poked fun at his friend, joking that he was just here for the free trip to Santa Barbara," the source added.
Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie' Navigating The Last Red Tape' Of Their Bitter Divorce Battle
The news of Pitt cohabiting with de Ramon comes as the actor nears the conclusion of his lengthy divorce battle with Angelina Jolie, which has spanned seven years since their tumultuous split in 2016.
The former couple, who share six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne, has been embroiled in disputes over custody of their minor children and ownership of their French vineyard.
While Pitt and Jolie were legally declared single in 2019, a source revealed to Us Weekly that "They're navigating the last of the red tape, which is a huge relief and morale boost."
"It saddens him that he's not on better terms with some of his kids, and he regrets that things got so acrimonious with Angelina, but the days of looking back in anger are behind him," the insider added.
Brad Pitt Finalizes Sale Of His Los Felix Estate In Los Angeles
In March of the previous year, Pitt finalized the sale of his extensive estate in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, a property he had owned for nearly three decades. Reports previously indicated that the "Bullet Train" actor had listed the sprawling property for approximately $40 million in January 2023.
Having acquired the original mansion from Cassandra Peterson in 1994 for $1.7 million, Pitt expanded the estate over the years, adding amenities like a swimming pool, tennis court, and skating rink on adjacent lots. Sources suggest that the "Troy" actor opted to sell the 1.9-acre property as he was "looking for something smaller" in the L.A. area.
The estate holds sentimental value as the former home where Pitt and his ex-wife Jolie raised their six children.
