After his contentious split from ex-wife Angelina Jolie in 2016, Brad Pitt was in a dark place. In a testament to one person’s ability to influence our lives—for better or worse—the actor “found his spark again” after falling in love with girlfriend Ines de Ramon, People reports. “Brad’s very happy and loves spending time with her,” a source told the outlet.
In fact, Pitt isn’t just happy, they said—he “couldn’t be happier” in his relationship, which is now a live-in one. People confirmed that the two-time Oscar winner and the jewelry executive now live together in his California home, which the source said 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,” they said, adding “Moving in together was a natural thing.”
The couple had been dating for “a few months” by the time they were first spotted together in November 2022. de Ramon—who is the head of wholesale for Anita Ko Jewelry—broke up with actor Paul Wesley of The Vampire Diaries in 2022 after three years of marriage; Pitt—who was also previously married to Jennifer Aniston—split from Jolie in 2016 after beginning their relationship in 2005 and marrying in 2014. They share six children together.
“Since the divorce, Brad’s dated, but never seriously,” they said. “This is the first serious relationship, and he couldn’t be happier.” (In addition to his marriages to Aniston and Jolie, Pitt was also engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow in the 1990s.)
The source described de Ramon—who is 26 years Pitt’s junior—as “kind, funny, and very special,” and noted that it is “amazing” to witness Pitt’s revived joy. “With Ines, he found his spark again,” they said. “It’s truly amazing to see. Brad’s a great guy. He deserves to be happy.”
