Brad Pitt and his girlfriend Ines de Ramon reportedly spent the summer at Chateau Miraval, the French winery he once shared with Angelina Jolie.
Since the pair began dating, Pitt has kept a low profile with de Ramon, balancing their time with solo trips, like visiting George Clooney in Lake Como.
Aside from his love life, Brad Pitt is still in a heated legal dispute with Angelina Jolie, who has urged the actor to drop his lawsuit against her so their family can heal.
Brad Pitt And Ines de Ramon Spend Summer At His French Chateau
Pitt and de Ramon have been enjoying their low-key summer at Chateau Miraval. According to Page Six, the "Bullet Train" star managed to carve out time to be with de Ramon at the vineyard.
He was also spotted motorcycling in Iceland and has been busy with his upcoming film, "F1."
Pitt and de Ramon, who have been dating since late 2022, have kept a relatively low profile, making few public appearances together.
Some sources speculate that the actor is being cautious to avoid upsetting Jolie. However, another insider suggests it's simply Pitt's preference for privacy.
"He is living his life," the source told the news outlet. "Angelina has already done the worst thing she can do, which is to separate the kids from their father."
Brad Pitt Has Been Happy Since Ines De Ramon Moved In With Him
Pitt has not only found love again but has also solidified things with de Ramon.
According to People magazine, sources close to the 60-year-old actor-producer have confirmed that his relationship with de Ramon has moved beyond just dating and is now in a "serious" phase.
"Things have been amazing since they moved in together," the insider says. "It's more of a serious relationship than just dating."
The source shared that Pitt is "still very happy with" his partner and that he "loves so many things about her," adding that de Ramon is "great for him."
The couple were first seen together in November 2022 at a Bono concert in L.A., although a source claimed they'd already "been dating for a few months."
The Actor Is Allegedly Open To Having Kids With Ines de Ramon
Amid his strained relationship with the six kids he shares with Jolie, Pitt is reportedly open to having more children with de Ramon as their relationship continues to flourish. However, this entirely depends on the jewelry designer's wishes.
An insider told the Daily Mail, "Having more kids in his life is not out of the question. Ines is young and Brad said he's 100% on board if she wants to have kids. He loves the idea of building a life with Ines, and nothing is off the table."
Pitt is said to have noticed many traits that he believes would make de Ramon "a wonderful mother," including being "patient," "easy-going," and having a "great sense of humor."
Insiders have also ruled out the possibility of the duo breaking up anytime soon, dishing that their relationship is "smooth sailing and drama-free" and Pitt is with de Ramon for the "long run."
Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie's Ongoing Legal Battle Over Chateau Miraval Intensifies
Pitt and Jolie bought a controlling stake in Chateau Miraval in 2008 and purchased the French estate for about $60 million in 2012. In 2014, the former couple tied the knot at the French estate.
In 2019, after five years of marriage, Jolie filed for divorce. However, in October 2021, the "Maleficient" actress sold her stake to Tenute del Mondo, part of the Stoli Group, despite an alleged agreement that neither would sell their share without the other's consent, sparking the ire of her ex-husband, Pitt.
Pitt asserts that Jolie's former investment company, Nouvel, was obligated to give his company, Mondo Bongo, the right of first refusal.
As a result, the former couple have been entangled in a protracted divorce battle, with the estate at the heart of the dispute, particularly over NDAs.
The Actor's Relationship With His Kids Amid Ongoing Legal Battle With Angelina Jolie
The former couple shares six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne.
Since their breakup and continued legal battle, Pitt's relationship with his children has been strained, with some of his children reportedly dropping his last name.
According to sources who spoke to People, Pitt now has "virtually no contact with the adult kids. His engagement with the younger kids is more limited in recent months because of his filming schedule."
Jolie has since asked Pitt to end the ongoing lawsuit to help their family heal. However, sources claim that Pitt has no intention of dropping the case as he views it as a standard business dispute that personal matters have complicated.
An insider told the Daily Mail: "Brad is not going to drop this lawsuit– why would he? This was a very standard business dispute but unfortunately, Angelina has consistently introduced personal elements that are meant for a divorce court."
