Inside Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon’s Romance: How He’s Moving on from Angelina

After years of legal battles, Brad Pitt is finally able to look forward with a sense of peace and happiness, following the finalization of his divorce from Angelina Jolie in December 2024. The couple, who went through an eight-year-long separation process, reached a divorce settlement last year, bringing an official end to their turbulent chapter.

A source close to the actor reveals to PEOPLE that Brad Pitt is “happy” to have the divorce behind him, and that “things are low-key for the family.” The 61-year-old actor, known for his roles in F1 and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, is reportedly in a good place both personally and professionally, with his career continuing to thrive. “Life’s good, no complaints,” the source adds, as Pitt looks ahead to the June 27 release of his highly anticipated film F1.

Beyond his career, Pitt is also flourishing in his personal life. The actor has been dating jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, 49, since late 2022, and the couple is said to be in a “great place.” Sources indicate that Pitt’s relationship with de Ramon has brought a new sense of joy and stability to his life, providing him with the support he needs as he navigates life after his lengthy divorce.

The road to this newfound happiness was long and challenging for Pitt, who first faced the filing of divorce papers by Jolie on September 19, 2016. Their separation was marked by public battles over finances, custody of their six children, and even their shared property, the French winery Chateau Miraval. The legal conflicts continued for years, but with the finalization of their divorce, both sides are seemingly ready to move on.

Jolie, speaking through her attorney, expressed relief upon the divorce settlement, though she remains “exhausted” from the prolonged process. “This one part is over,” her attorney, James Simon, told PEOPLE in December 2024. Despite this, Jolie and Pitt’s ongoing legal battle over the winery continues, with Pitt suing Jolie in 2022 over her sale of her stake in the business. The tensions between the former spouses, particularly regarding allegations related to their marriage, have left a bitter residue, but both are clearly committed to moving forward with their lives.

Pitt, who shares six children with Jolie—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne—continues to prioritize his family. Despite the ongoing legal disputes, he is reportedly maintaining a low-key and stable family environment as he and Jolie co-parent their children.

As Pitt enters this new phase of his life with a fresh relationship and a promising career, he seems content with where he is, and according to those close to him, he is genuinely “happy” and in a “great place.”
