Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon Expected to Announce Engagement Soon

Actor Brad Pitt, 60, and his 31-year-old girlfriend, jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, are reportedly on the verge of announcing their engagement. According to Page Six, Pitt's relationship with de Ramon has played a significant role in finalizing his divorce from Angelina Jolie, which has been ongoing for nearly a decade. A close source revealed that de Ramon encouraged Pitt to resolve the lengthy divorce proceedings so they could build a future together. She expressed that life would be much more enjoyable once the divorce issues were settled.

Jolie filed for divorce on September 19, 2016, leading to a protracted legal battle over custody and other matters. Although they were declared legally single in 2019, the couple recently signed the final divorce documents on December 30, 2024. The legal disputes surrounding their shared property, particularly the Château Miraval winery in France, are still ongoing.

Another insider noted that de Ramon has a positive influence on Pitt, providing him with a fresh perspective on life. They both recognized that it was time to move forward, and finalizing the divorce was beneficial for both parties.

Pitt and de Ramon were first linked romantically in November 2022, and they made their relationship public at the Venice Film Festival in 2024. A source previously mentioned that having a strong partner like de Ramon has been a blessing for Pitt, as she supports him without being fazed by public scrutiny or his legal troubles. De Ramon, who was previously married to 'The Vampire Diaries' star Paul Wesley, is somewhat accustomed to the spotlight.

Jolie's attorney, James Simon, commented on the long process, stating that Jolie has focused on finding peace and healing for her family after leaving behind all shared assets with Pitt. He noted that while Jolie is exhausted, she feels a sense of relief that a significant chapter has concluded.
