Brad Pitt headed for marriage with girlfriend Ines: Report
What's the story
After over a year of dating, reports suggest Hollywood actor Brad Pitt may soon propose to his girlfriend Ines de Ramon.
An insider told Life & Style, "Rumors are swirling Brad is planning to pop the question this summer; it could happen anytime."
To recall, their romance sparked in November 2022, post-divorces—Brad's from Angelina Jolie in 2019 and de Ramon's from Paul Wesley in 2022—setting the stage for their blossoming relationship.
Relationship timeline
'He's so happy with Ines,' says insider
Pitt and De Ramon's relationship began during Pitt's highly publicized divorce from Jolie.
The divorce involved a bitter dispute over their high-value French vineyard, referred to as the 'war of Rose.'
Insiders claim that Pitt appreciates the tranquility he now experiences with De Ramon following his tumultuous relationship with Jolie.
The source claimed, "Once Ines moved in with him last year, he knew he could have a future with her."
Family tensions
Pitt's strained relationships with his children
Reports suggest that Pitt's children—Maddox (22), Pax (20), Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and twins Knox and Vivienne (15)—have distanced themselves from him amid ongoing legal battles with Jolie.
Insiders allege that Pitt feels that Jolie has "gradually turned their kids against him."
This follows Shiloh's legal name change petition after turning 18, and Vivienne being listed as 'Vivienne Jolie' in the Playbill for The Outsiders.
Despite these strained relationships, it is reported that Pitt wants to have more children.
Family plans

An insider shared that De Ramon empathizes with the pain this situation causes and has been a pillar of support for him.
