Last December, there was a wealth of reporting – mostly tabloid reporting – about Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Ines de Ramon, divorce, money and the six kids who want nothing to do with Pitt. Some of Jolie’s fans thought that Pitt was organizing certain stories as a way to derail Angelina’s Oscar campaign. I thought there was something to that theory, although I also think that Hollywood was probably always going to ignore Jolie’s performance in Maria anyway, especially after Netflix stopped putting money into her campaign. Anyway, just days after Christmas, Angelina and Brad managed to finalize their divorce after eight-plus years. Pitt has been pretty quiet since then (other than this notable story). Now that the awards season is over, it’s time for Pitt to get back on track with his regular programming: reminding everyone that he has a girlfriend and that he and Ines are “happy.”
Brad Pitt is looking ahead after his divorce from Angelina Jolie was finalized, a source tells PEOPLE. The F1 actor, 61, and the Maria star, 49, reached a divorce settlement in December 2024 after an eight-year legal battle.
“Brad Pitt is happy that the divorce is behind him,” a source tells PEOPLE on Wednesday, March 12. “Things are low-key for the family.”
The insider adds that Pitt is “happy” in his relationship with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, whom he has been dating since late 2022.
“They’re in a great place,” the source says of the couple.
Pitt is also focused on his career as he prepares for the June 27 release of F1.
“Life’s good, no complaints,” continues the source.
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on Sept. 19, 2016, after two years of marriage. Shortly after their divorce was finalized, her divorce attorney, James Simon of Hersh Mannis, told PEOPLE on Dec. 30 that Jolie was “exhausted” but “relieved” that it was over. “More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family,” Simon said at the time. “This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.”
This reads like filler, but I guess this is probably the start of Brad’s “promotion” for this long-gestating F1 film. He was filming that back in 2023, during the writers’ strike and the actors’ strike, and they were still filming it as late as December 2024 (which is insane, to have what amounts to an 18-month-long production). I don’t know – obviously, this film is not for me, but it feels like they just spent a lot of time, money and effort on a film which is probably going to be a huge bomb? Maybe there will be a market for it. As for Brad’s happiness with Ines…I guess they’re about to ramp up their photo-ops?

This felt like the longest movie ever filmed. He’s been working on it for eons.
And it’s still going to suck.
It seems like a pure vanity vehicle for him and I can’t imagine that it has much appeal.
And when people have to communicate that they are “happy” and “in a great place” when absolutely no one was asking, it usually means the opposite.
Ok Brad you’re happy. Now go climb back under your rock and STFU!!!
They conveniently left out the part where he was abusing his wife and kids on the plane which triggered the divorce and them leaving all the properties they owned together to start a new life – but ok, you’re happy now Brad. Go nap now.
“More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt,“
Brad, guess what! Angie and your children don’t care.
Maybe this POS can leave his abuse victim alone now. Good luck lady.
There is a renewal in interest for F1 lately but I don’t know if people are going to be interested in a movie about an old and bloated Brad Pitt. I get the feeling that young people in particular are interested in F1 because the drivers are almost their age.
You know what really shows someone is happy? Taking their exes name out of their mouth.
This F1 film sounds like a snoozefest to me. There will be a little schadenfruede on my end if it flops after Brad spent the last 5 years working to get it made.
I just hope Ines has a game plan if Brad turns on her too.
Yeah but he’s still suing her over miraval right? So it’s not like everything is over. He could drop that one just saying. I like the other actors in the F1 film and there is an interest in that sport with Lewis Hamilton who’s involved in the movie. So it could do well? I won’t watch it bc I just can’t with him.
Ines will always look like Heidi Fleiss to me 😂
I love F1 and Sir Lewis Hamilton, who is producing this film, but the age of Pitt is ridiculous. Drivers start losing responsiveness and can’t safely race usually around 35-40; Sir Lewis and Fernando Alonso are some of the few exceptions. Pitt is decades older. I might see it if a friend insists on watching it and if it’s streaming, but there’s no way I’m paying for a Pitt film again.
“Life’s good, no complaints
Is the biggest yikes ever. And not surprisingly there was indeed new F1 news today lol. Right on cue!
Wondered how long it would be until we had an update on how happy he is.
He’s been unusually quiet since Angelina’s taken Centre stage. How come GF hasn’t been on infamous walkabouts? Bored now….
Heidi Fleiss wants her face back ..
Not going to support a movie starring perpetrator of domestic violence. No matter how aggressive the PR campaign is to discredit 7 domestic violence victims to elevate the perpetrator & his enabler Heidi Fleiss doppelganger gf
