Last week, People Magazine had an exclusive about Brad Pitt and his girlfriend Ines de Ramon. Brad’s team isn’t slick. They’re as obvious as can be, and it’s clear that they want a focus on Brad’s love life and his relationship with Ines right now. But for what reason? Usually, this kind of thing is a deflection for Brad’s bullsh-t, from his financial disasters to his humanitarian disasters to the fact that he financially, emotionally and physically abused Angelina Jolie. At the moment, there doesn’t seem to be one particularly bad story about Pitt out there, and the more his team talks about Ines, the more I think that something big is coming down the pike. Anyway, Brad Pitt wants everyone to know that Brad Pitt is very happy with Ines de Ramon!

Brad Pitt “couldn’t be happier” in his relationship with girlfriend Ines de Ramon, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively. After PEOPLE confirmed that the two-time Oscar winner, 60, and the jewelry executive, 34, are cohabiting in his California home, a source says the move-in was the “natural” next step in their relationship.

“They were spending so much time together at Brad’s that it just made sense for Ines to move in with him,” the insider says. “Brad’s very happy and loves spending time with her. Moving in together was a natural thing.”

The couple was first spotted together in November 2022, with sources claiming they had already been dating for “a few months” by then.

Previously, de Ramon, who is the head of wholesale for Anita Ko Jewelry, split from actor Paul Wesley in 2022 after three years of marriage. Pitt, meanwhile, split from Angelina Jolie in 2016 after they began dating in 2005 and wed nine years later in 2014.

“Since the divorce, Brad’s dated but never seriously,” the source says. “This is the first serious relationship, and he couldn’t be happier.”

The insider — who describes de Ramon as “kind, funny and very special” — went on to note that it’s “amazing” to witness Pitt’s revived joy.

“With Ines, he found his spark again,” they say. “It’s truly amazing to see. Brad’s a great guy. He deserves to be happy.”

“Since the divorce, Brad’s dated but never seriously” – excuse me but I lived through the Neri Oxman Debacle of 2018, just as I survived the Summer of Nicole Poturalski, which ended swiftly when it was revealed that Nico was not the “hot, younger Angelina Jolie look-alike” but rather an Instamodel hustler with a much-older husband. Good times. Even if you argue that Ines is Pitt’s first real “relationship” since Angelina, that sort of begs the question of why Pitt needed to dry out for seven years before deciding to be in a very awkward relationship. “With Ines, he found his spark again. It’s truly amazing to see. Brad’s a great guy. He deserves to be happy.” Does he though??
