Brad Pitt, 59, introduces his new 33-year-old 'girlfriend', sources say

Allegedly, Brad Pitt has unveiled his new romantic partner, as per insiders familiar with the actor's life. The 59-year-old actor is said to be in a relationship with a 33-year-old jewelry designer named Ines de Ramon.

A source, in conversation with PEOPLE, disclosed that this marks Pitt's "initial substantial relationship" since his separation from former spouse Angelina Jolie in 2016. Jolie, the 48-year-old Tomb Raider star, officially filed for divorce.

As reported by Glamour, despite being declared legally single in 2019, the divorce between the two prominent Hollywood figures has not been finalized yet.

Despite the circumstances, the insider informs PEOPLE that Pitt and de Ramon are currently enjoying a positive phase in their relationship, with the jewelry designer bringing considerable joy to the star. The source even mentions that Brad is now openly referring to Ines as his "girlfriend."

Although Pitt and de Ramon attended the LACMA’s Art+Film Gala in Los Angeles together earlier this month, they chose not to pose for photographs side by side. Nevertheless, the source emphasizes that the couple displayed affectionate behavior at the event, describing them as "super loving" and highlighting how they spent their time together, engaging in laughter and banter with those around them.

PEOPLE reports that the duo was initially seen together publicly in November of the previous year during a Bono concert. During the summer, there were reports of the couple spending considerable time together, with de Ramon allegedly traveling to Europe to join Pitt during the filming of his latest movie.

Prior to her relationship with Pitt, Ines de Ramon was married to Paul Wesley, known for his role in The Vampire Diaries. They got married in 2019 but ended their marriage three years later in 2022. A spokesperson for the couple conveyed to PEOPLE at the time that the separation was amicable and mutual.

According to The Standard, Angelina Jolie initially attributed "irreconcilable differences" as the grounds for her divorce from Brad Pitt. At that time, the couple's attorney stated, "This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting, and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time."

Subsequently, reports emerged that both the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services were looking into allegations of child abuse against the Babylon star following an incident on the family’s private jet, prompted by an anonymous accusation.

Pitt was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing and has not addressed the purported incident publicly.

In 2020, Jolie told Vogue India that her split from Pitt was the "right decision" for her and their six children.

"I remain dedicated to their recovery," she shared with the publication. "Certain individuals have exploited my decision to stay quiet, and the children are confronted with falsehoods about themselves in the media. However, I reassure them that they are aware of their own truth and have their own perspectives."

In a more recent development, Pitt has alleged that Jolie deliberately sought to "cause harm" to him by selling her share in their vineyard business.
