I’m not trying to be fair or “both sides” the issue of film criticism: I openly and plainly want to see all of the bad reviews for Babylon. It looks like a stupid, self-indulgent movie and I want Brad Pitt to fail. I also want Damien Chazelle to fail, but that’s just because I think he’s overrated as a writer/director. Anyway, Pitt’s crisis management team sobered him up and cleaned him long enough to attend last Thursday’s LA premiere of Babylon. They set him up with Ines de Ramon, Paul Wesley’s estranged wife, and there were reports of Ines and Brad hanging out together after the premiere. How convenient that People Magazine got an exclusive on it too – Ines and Brad plan to spend New Year’s together.
Brad Pitt and girlfriend Ines de Ramon have their New Year’s Eve plans made. After the Oscar-winning actor, 58, was seen with the jewelry executive, 32, at the afterparty for his new movie Babylon Thursday night, a fashion industry source close to de Ramon tells PEOPLE that Pitt “is clearly very into her given he brought her to his premiere.”
“Ines said that Brad is very sweet,” the source says, noting that the pair “are planning to spend New Year’s Eve together.”
Meanwhile, a source close to Pitt tells PEOPLE the pair are “dating and happy,” adding, “It’s not serious yet but he’s comfortable and they’re having fun together.”
A separate insider says Pitt “enjoys dating Ines” and they “hang out when they are not busy.” The insider adds, “Ines is fun and social. They have a great time together. They do solo dates, but also group dates with friends.”
The couple’s outing at Thursday’s Babylon premiere comes a month after PEOPLE confirmed the pair “have been dating for a few months.” They were first photographed together on Nov. 13 alongside Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber backstage at a Bono concert at Los Angeles’ Orpheum Theatre.
According to a source at the time, “Brad is really into” de Ramon, who separated from her husband, Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley, earlier this year.
No mention, I suppose, of whether Brad will see his children for Christmas. I suspect that’s being left unsaid on purpose – it’s clear the kids (whom he abused) can’t stand him and want nothing to do with him. Pitt is still trying to play it like Angelina is forcing the estrangement, so this People Mag article increases Pitt’s sad-sack narrative. “Poor guy who can’t see his kids on Christmas, thank god he has some young girlfriend who will spend time with him on NYE.” Pathetic.

I wonder what kind of bonus Ines gets to spend time with him during the holidays?
First off, Ines RUN! However, if for whatever reason Ines is not ready for that advice, I HOPE Ines is getting well paid so she will be in a good position to leave
This is one of those headlines and I care why exactly? LOL
Actually, all 6 children emancipated from Brad once they each turned 14. The twins were forced to visit him (under court ordered supervision) but they also stopped that when they turned 14 this past spring.
That’s rough, even the twins don’t want to visit him, I can understand a few not wanting to see him, but all six?
Jan, I’m not sure you meant it this way, but “That’s rough” sounds sympathetic towards BP. My guess is that if all six children are no longer forced to see BP, it’s no longer rough.
All six witnessed the abuse and were victim to it, so it’s not surprising they have all decided they are done with him.
Early on I had hoped he would get his act together and they could rebuild a healthy relationship, but after reading about the plane incident, there’s no going back from that. I’m glad the kids are all finally old enough to make their own choices and not be dictated by the court to see him.
He doesn’t look totally sober to me. Or clean.
The stark difference between him and Angie. One is worldwide headline news for their refugee work and advocacy, the other features on page 6 and might be spending new year with a love interest. The man truly lives in her shadow in every way.
Hopefully 2023 is the year he finally leaves her alone and makes efforts to heal the harm he has done to his children.
all these new gf rollouts give me George Glass vibes
He looks like the sleazy piano player in The White Lotus S2.
He’s disgusting, I hope Ines knows what she’s doing with that sad pile of sht.
A man who will put his hands around women & children’s necks DESERVE to be outcast & shunned by his children ESPECIALLY when that man CONTINUES to harass & abuse his victims with NO consequences…
LIFE has taught me that.
In my opinion, the prick deserves some jail time for that. I’m sure the boys in jail would love to spend time with BP.
If AJ was preventing Brad from seeing the children, he would have taken her to court and leaked it to the press.
Considering his track record of prematurely aligning himself to (often ‘taken’) women, shouldn’t he at least wait til December 30th before announcing his New Year’s plans? I’m just saying. Or he could fall into a deep well.
So is his PR strategy basically to pay women to just use their name, a couple “candid” photos, and pretend they’re dating? I can’t remember actually seeing him pictured much with any alleged girlfriends in the last few years.
It’s fascinating to me how PR firms do stuff like this with celebs. Fake dating is so juicy lol.
As for Babylon — the marketing of this movie is so off-putting. I really disliked the hedonistic, constant-party tone of Wolf of Wall Street (and I love the DiCaprio/Scorsese pairing), and this looks like more of that. I love movies about Hollywood but will probably pass on this one.
I know most people who read this site understand what abusive (to this day, continuing financial abuse) garbage he is. But in his life- how awful do you have to be that your incredibly active, vicious and “imaginative” PR team can’t find one would-be starlet to put under contract and pretend to go out with him for 6 months?
Another horrifying level to this horrifying story of the abuse of women and children and the lengths the establishment will go to protect a white man who makes a ton of money.
Ariel: “how awful do you have to be that your incredibly active, vicious and “imaginative” PR team can’t find one would-be starlet to put under contract and pretend to go out with him for 6 months?”
Awful n desperate person who doesn’t deserve his children. Pathetic that he could have had it all: money, fame, family. But he chose to lose his family, by abusing then becoming uninvolved in them.
I agree Kaiser, this is a self-indulgent waste of time. I laughed at the preview. It looks horrible.
The once beautiful Brad has certainly earned his current face. I don’t like to talk about looks, but it is just so obvious.
Agreed 100 percent! Especially his face in that Fast Times table read.
Is she 29 (as she was claimed to be in the last article) or 32? Was she lying about her age until this “relationship” and now thinks being 32 will make this less creepy?
I don’t get why everyone assumes that this is a paid PR set-up…I mean, it could be–but I see no reason to assume that. Like, do we really think that there aren’t hundreds of women in their 20s and 30s who would JUMP at the chance to date Pitt for FREE? Are we all going to just pretend that the Depp fan club doesn’t exist as well? Plenty of women think that they’re different; that the abuse won’t happen to them. Hopefully she figures it out quickly..
Just saw the first half of the trailer (closed the window halfway) and I agree with this assessment:
“stupid, self-indulgent movie”
There’s nothing I want to watch out there! Didn’t even catch Dune!
He’s definitely getting serious with this new GF. One thing is the timeline. She split with her husband in September this year and the stories have Pitt and GF dating “for a few months.” Did she leave her ex for Pitt? He is a senior (nothing wrong with that but she’s early 30s) and not a good catch while she’s pretty and multilingual (and successful in the jewellery business).
