Brad Pitt & Ines de Ramon are hanging out a lot & chose to be ‘officially exclusive’

As we discussed previously, Babylon is a big box office bomb. Maybe not the biggest of the year, but definitely a significant flop for Paramount, for Damien Chazelle, for Margot Robbie and, yes, for Brad Pitt. While Pitt barely lifted a finger to promote Babylon, he still got top billing and I’m sure Pitt’s name was a big reason why Paramount agreed to the $109 million budget, not to mention whatever Pitt’s paycheck was. All of that means that Pitt suddenly needed to update everyone on his romantic life, because nothing can ever be Pitt’s fault. His people leaked an exclusive to People Magazine that Pitt spent New Year’s in Cabo with Ines de Ramon. When that story was met with a collective shrug, magically Page Six got exclusive photos of Pitt and Ines:

I looked through the photos at Page Six – it looks like an old man with too much plastic surgery has somehow forced his pretty young assistant to go on vacation with him so she can “take dictation.” As I’ve said before, I hope Ines is collecting those checks. Part of her job here is to help build up Pitt’s reputation as a guy who is simply too cool and avant-garde to ever settle down with some beautiful young woman. Which means we’re getting these kinds of stories too:

Getting serious? Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon can’t get enough of each other, an insider exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly.

“They’ve been hanging out a ton, taking in art shows in L.A. and jamming to music and watching movies over at his place,” the source says of the Oscar winner, 59, and the jewelry executive, 30. “He’s been cooking for her, they work out and go on hikes, go over projects they both have and bounce ideas off each other too.”

“Brad has gone from seeing this as a fling to wanting to spend all his time with her,” the insider tells Us. “The other girls he was flirting with or considering as dates have all gradually disappeared. It seems just a matter of time before they’re officially exclusive.”

While the Ad Astra actor has been spending a lot of time with de Ramon, the first insider adds that some of his pals “aren’t so sure” that the romance will work out “for the long term.” If it does, though, Pitt’s friends think the University of Geneva graduate could be perfect for him.

“Nobody’s disputing Ines is a cool, smart and very likable character,” the source explains. “She’s a great match for Brad if he’s serious about making it last.”

Shades of Neri Oxman, right? Suddenly he’s found this super-cool, perfect, much younger woman and the PR goes into overdrive. I’d also like to point out that Pitt seems especially “stuck” in a dated, younger-guy narrative about love and relationships too. Reading all of these Team Pitt-sourced pieces, I can’t believe we’re actually talking about a 59-year-old man. Brad’s like Jennifer Aniston in that way – they’re both sort of frozen in 30-something 1990s amber. Maybe Brad will make Ines a mixtape before they go on their date at the coffeehouse, where he’ll tell her he’s ready to be officially exclusive.

    ‘Jamming to music’ is what got me. Unless maybe they play? I didn’t think so, though.

  2. Sam says:

    If you just compare Brad Pitt to – let’s say Keanu Reves …

  3. Sierra says:

    I literally laughed out loud when I saw this. Brad is soo desperate for good publicity that he going down the Jen A pr level. Go Cabo, call paparazzi to get papped with a nice body and a partner.

    His 2 movies flopped, 3 produced movies flopped, production company sold for a low value, the extend of his abuse exposed and him losing lawsuit battle after another.

    Brad has been cancelled silently and even gossip sites have started to criticise him outright.

    This relationship is also not giving him the positive image he expected. He is being called dirty old man and a cradle snatcher for dating a woman old enough to be his daughter. Plus people are bringing up him dating underaged girls while he was in his mid-20s.

    • girl_ninja says:

      Why are you bringing Jen Aniston into this? She isn’t the one who abused her spouse. He is the abuser who refuses to take responsibility for his actions. I know she isn’t liked here but I see how she as a then young actress was holding onto her career, fame, etc. while her abusive ex painted her is a gross light.

      Pitt is disgusting and I hope that Ines doesn’t become his next victim.

      • Ameerah M says:

        You mean Jen A who played the PR game with Pitt during his Oscar campaign?? That Jen A??

      • Mireille says:

        Excuse you? This is Celebrity blog site and Sierra and any other commentator can bring up any other person or topic into this conversation. Kaiser also compared Brad to Jen. Are you going to criticize Kaiser too? And for this particular Cabo-move, we are talking about obvious PR tactics not abuse. Jen Aniston is NOTORIOUS for employing similar pool-side shots in Cabo for many years.

  4. ML says:

    You know what’s weird about these photos? Inez wasn’t caught topless—she’s sitting facing backwards on her lounger so no one can get a picture of her chest. Obviously, someone (BP) arranged these pictures, but European women usually do not sit on loungers facing backwards while on vacation.

    • NotTheOne says:

      Same thought here.

    • Mireille says:

      It’s a classic PR stunt. They hired the photographers. They both know where to pose. Check out Brad’s full-body pics. That was on purpose, so they can elicit the “OMG! He’s so HOTTT even at 70 (or however old he is).” Check out Twitter — where you get a ton of those. I work with PR, tactics tend to be the same.

    • crogirl says:

      I don’t think she’s European. But yes, those photos are totally staged.

    • SarahCS says:

      That was one of my thoughts when I saw them, this is clearly part of the setup that she is topless while not having actual photos of her breasts across all the celebrity gossip sites. We see you PR team.

  5. Emily_C says:

    Close to being officially exclusive? Are they in middle school?

    • Roo says:

      @EmilyC, he passed her a note “Will you go out with me? Check yes or no”. LOL

    • Cherry says:

      Seriously. All of this dumb crap just to convince us that BP is still desirable. Imagine this being said about a WOMAN aged 59 with a drinking problem and 6 kids who want nothing to do with her.
      “Brad has gone from seeing this as a fling to wanting to spend all his time with her,” “The other girls he was flirting with or considering as dates have all gradually disappeared. It seems just a matter of time before they’re officially exclusive.” “She’s a great match for Brad if he’s serious about making it last.”
      No one’s buying it, Brad. We know you’re not a catch. Probably never have been.

      • JT says:

        “No one’s buying it, Brad. We know you’re not a catch. Probably never have been.”

        True!!!!

    • Kate says:

      Hahaha

  6. Mslove says:

    Brad Pitt is a disgusting, desperate, louse of a man. And I blame Brad Pitt for Babylon bombing at the box office. Any project that is attached to Brad Pitt will be sure to fail.

    • Heidi says:

      Brad Pitt is gross. I wonder what his kids think of him. His face looks like he git the Kenny Roger’s Mexican face-lift special $3500. Thank goodness Angelina got away from him. Such a phony.

      • Mslove says:

        I hope his children know that his actions are not in any way their fault. That they are not to blame for his abuse and alcoholism. I’m sure their mother has made that very clear. AJ has been an amazing mother to them.

  7. Cherbear says:

    This is one of the first times that I think I’ve seen photos of him where his facial surgery/tweaks are really apparent. Looks like a facelift/neck lift, some eye stuff, maybe some subtle lip stuff?

    And that ‘tux’ is just awful. The shirt doesn’t even fit right.

    He is a Terrible person. But whoever that young woman is, I hope she gets what she needs out of this.

    • June says:

      @cherbear well she is gen z and educated so surely she understands that forever she will live on the internet as “topless Ines de Ramon”…hope it’s worth it. If she were my daughter I’d d be calling and begging she come to her senses!

  8. Roo says:

    Side issue: Who is dressing him for his appearances?? The baggy suits, the baggier tux, and the shaggy hair all make him look ridiculous.

    • Sunset says:

      I hate to theorize but i don’t think he’s sober.

      • Concern Fae says:

        Hadn’t thought about it, but looking again, yeah. The bad plastic surgery is hiding it.

      • June says:

        Agree. Lots of bloated face photos and stumbling at press this summer. He behaved differently the first few years after divorce. Addiction is cyclical and average number of relapses is 7 so…

    • SarahCS says:

      But don’t you understand, he’s just too much of an artist to be confined by social norms and fashion??

      Or in other words, he’s pretentious and desperate and hasn’t got people around him who will tell him honestly how he’s coming across.

  9. Twinkle says:

    I saw the photos from Page Six and IG. Granted, they’re a small, small slice of the day, but he did not look interested in engaging with her at the pool. I dunno, if he’s so into her as the sources say he is, he would be more interested in talking, laughing, hugging, kissing her than that binder. This won’t last.

    • Twin Falls says:

      Right? First holiday vacation as a newly dating couple and…you bring work?

      • SarahCS says:

        I took that prop to be a reflection of how in demand he is still. Look at all the people wanting to work with him!

      • Twinkle says:

        The beginning of a relationship is the best part. You’re into each other. You can’t keep your hands off each other; everything the other person says and does is charming and perfect.

      • June says:

        True if you believe it’s new…it could be fake PR also could be he and she had affair before her marriage ended and it’s new to us but old news to them, nothing new boobs. But weird she’s topless and covering herself towards him with knees , arm and book…if you’re in love and together, even if sunning your back. the girls are getting some sun!

  10. Emily says:

    Reporting on Brad Pitt’s love life feels so middle school. I’m surprised we’re not being told he held hands with a girl.

  11. D says:

    Did he have a facelift? Why does he look like a frog in the picture of him walking shirtless?

    Whoever wrote this has to be taking the piss…what almost 60 year old talks like this? “Jamming to music”, “nobody disputes that she’s a cool girl.” It’s Justin Theroux all over again but Brad is so much worse.

  12. Les says:

    Why is he dressed like a waiter at a bad Italian restaurant?

    • June says:

      LOL that summer wardrobe was a horrendous, baggy, wrinkled mess…waiter at a cheap italian restaurant best comment! LOL

  13. Naomi says:

    What a sad, pathetic empty shell of a person.

  14. thecookingpan says:

    The plastic surgery is so off. He truly could’ve been one of those who aged well, instead he chose this route. Plus he has the money to have it done by discreetly. It looks like he had a hack job somewhere off grid.He’s almost unrecognisable. And seriously, if you’re gonna spend money on plastic surgery – stay outta the sun!

    • ivy says:

      I had to do a double take. It doesn’t look like Brad at all. His facial features have been all over the place lately. I think the cyclic bloating and surgeries aren’t mixing welll

  15. Case says:

    Brad and team forget that random paps aren’t as prevalent as 20 years ago. These pics are so obviously staged.

    This whole campaign is embarrassing, but like a train wreck I can’t look away from.

    • Ivy says:

      It’s just so obvious between the weekly updates and planned photoshoots. It makes me think it’s chaos behind the scenes if this is the best the best they can do. At least make it kind of believable like Leo and Gigi

    • Yepsure says:

      Yep, checked out the Page Six article and you don’t get pics of them walking away and back. Very weird and looks totally staged, like they released these specific pics.

  16. Kaye says:

    Every time I see this suit jacket, it makes me think that this is something I could have made in Home Ec when I was 15 years old. This is the first time I’ve seen the pants that go with it, and my opinion holds.

  17. Solidgold says:

    Brad Pitt and his lazy PR make me chuckle.

  18. Well Well says:

    Two weeks ago, Brad’s team told us they were planning on spending New Year’s together AND we got confirmation from People that they did spend it together. So, with all the hype, I was expected kissing, a thong bikini and frolicking in the ocean; not these dry photos of Brad more enchanted with what he’s reading than with a topless Ines sitting next to him. Once again, he’s not even looking at her…These pictures give “I’m with her, but I think I’m too good/too cool for her” vibes that he showed at the Bono concert when he was walking ahead of her (and he acted that way numerous times when he hung out with Alia Shawkat).

    Also, notice how the article immediately backtracks? It went from Brad’s getting serious about Ines to “some of his pals “aren’t so sure” that the romance will work out “for the long term.”” His team made sure to include that! And there’s a negative energy in the photos (even with her back to the camera you can sense she’s annoyed) and something unattractive about Brad’s appearance (his facial features under glare of the sun, those legs, his sunburned chest and the tattoos).

  19. lucy2 says:

    “The other girls he was flirting with or considering as dates”
    This man is almost 60 years old.

  20. Sascha says:

    It looks like she was made to sit there topless, and is pissed about it, so only agreed to face away from the cameras without a top. She doesn’t look happy at all. Looks like she’s yelling at him and he’s telling her to just do what He paid her to do. And his face is literally horrifying. I used to be his biggest fan. Saw him on the beach in SoCal this summer. No thank you violent melted drunk face.

    • Alycea says:

      Yeah I noticed that too. He looks angry and annoyed in some of the pics too. Probably why no one else picked them up. They don’t look happy lol

  21. Kaye says:

    Brad to his plastic surgeon: Make me look . . . debonair.
    Plastic surgeon: You mean like tilt your eyebrows up in the center and give you a smirk?
    BP: That’s it!
    Plastic surgeon: . . . mmkay.

  22. sparrow says:

    Officially exclusive seems a bit yuck to me. Why go public with this? Like anyone bloody cares about it.

  23. crogirl says:

    He is absolutely vile

  24. Abby says:

    Wow she really downgraded from Paul Wesley

  25. Molly says:

    No one is actually buying this, right? There is no warmth/affection/chemistry/romance evident in these dumb photos of a lovely young woman with her plastic companion.

  26. Yepsure says:

    Well, good for them if they’re happy but he always seemed like the B-type to me, as in someone uncomfortable with themselves esp in the limelight looking for a stronger person to latch on to in life. Plus his age and everything (esp how he treated Jen Aniston) so I just don’t find him attractive. Not that I ever did, but he was, objectively speaking, very pretty in his youth. Someone who knows a friend of hers posted in a previous Ines and Pitt CB post that she’s from a wealthy family and always had a messy love life. Can’t think of any reason a someone like her would date him. He’s so much older and doesn’t seem that smart! His interviews are too much pretentious bohemianism for me.

  27. LaUnicaAngelina says:

    No hombre. He’s so lame. Gross.

  28. Zut Alors says:

    All the comments are gold! I’ve been howling with laughter 😭. How have the mighty fallen.

  29. LOL8 says:

    Can this old domestic abuser be anymore embarrassing, now resorted to doing deals with papratzzi and tabloids, soo pathetic .. Have no words for his latest recruited enabler young girlfriend , let’s see if being with a child abuser is worth it, because that stigma is for life

  30. June says:

    Anyone know when AJ’s 250 million lawsuit againt BP goes to court? Likely that’s why he sold 60% of Plan B?
