Why Brad Pitt’s Girlfriend Finally Stepped Into The Spotlight And What It Means For Their Future

After years of keeping their romance behind the scenes, Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon are finally going public with their love.

From avoiding red carpets to cozying up at premieres, their recent display has left many wondering what changed.

Sources now reveal why de Ramon kept her distance and why she’s all in now.

Pitt, 61, and Ines de Ramon, 32, recently made headlines for packing on the PDA at the premiere of his new Formula 1 film, marking a shift from the extreme privacy that once defined their romance.

According to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail, de Ramon was initially hesitant to attend star-studded events with Pitt.

“In the beginning, she refused to join him because she didn’t want to be seen as one of those girls that is in and out of an A-list celebrity’s life,” the source explained.

They added, “She did not want the intrusion into her private life and neither did Brad. But their relationship is unbreakable at this point, and she is not going anywhere. She now wants to join him on carpets because she loves him and part of this is supporting him in everything that he does.”

Ines de Ramon isn’t new to Hollywood as she was previously married to "The Vampire Diaries" star Paul Wesley from 2019 to 2022.

She’s also a businesswoman, serving as the head of wholesale at Anita Ko Jewelry, a luxury brand favored by stars like Kourtney Kardashian and Hailey Bieber.

Now, Pitt couldn’t be prouder. “Brad is proud of Ines. She has really come a long way and come out of her shell and has become quite the red-carpet sensation,” the insider shared.

The couple made their first public appearance in July 2024 at the British Grand Prix, followed by their red carpet debut two months later at the premiere of Pitt’s film "Wolfs."

The insider's comments come after de Ramon made a stunning red carpet statement alongside Pitt at the "F1" premiere in New York City.

The jewelry designer dazzled in a bold backless ensemble that featured a translucent halter-style top with a plunging neckline, paired with a feathered skirt cinched at the waist by a thick black belt.

She completed her chic look with a sleek clutch and flowing brunette waves parted down the middle.

Standing beside her was Pitt, who looked effortlessly stylish in a dark navy double-breasted suit, worn over a relaxed, open-collar shirt. He accessorized with classic leather shoes and carried his signature sunglasses.

The couple, who reportedly moved in together last year, appeared deeply affectionate as they posed for photos. At one point, Pitt playfully wrapped an arm around de Ramon, while she lovingly adjusted something on his face and cradled his head in a sweet moment.

They held hands as they entered the venue with radiant smiles, showing off their chemistry.

In a candid interview with GQ Magazine, Pitt addressed the speculation that his and de Ramon's public debut was a calculated PR move.

“No, dude, it’s not that calculated,” he told the outlet. “Oh my God, how exhausting would that be—if you’re living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.”

Speaking about his current chapter, Pitt added, “My life is fairly contained. It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am.”

Ines de Ramon and Brad Pitt's increasing public presence comes shortly after the latter finalized his grueling eight-year divorce from Angelina Jolie.

Despite his deep feelings for de Ramon, sources say he’s not eager to tie the knot again.

“Brad is totally in love with Ines, but he doesn’t want to go down the road of marriage and kids,” an insider previously told the Daily Mail.

They added, “He’s been burned badly by the divorce from Angelina and his kids wanting little if nothing to do with him. He’s 61 and loving his life just the way it is.”
