In recent years, in between headlines about Brad Pitt’s increasingly hostile divorce from Angelina Jolie, tabloids have reported that he was quietly dating a woman named Ines de Ramon. The couple stepped into the spotlight more than ever last month during the Venice International Film Festival, where Pitt was promoting an action buddy comedy with George Clooney — and he and his lady seemed to be spending a lot of time with Clooney and his wife, Amal. The foursome were seen feasting on truffle risotto and zucchini flowers with some Apple TV execs, and de Ramon and Pitt made their red-carpet debut at the movie’s premiere alongside the Clooneys. A source told Us Weekly that the couple’s decision to go public was “a big deal,” adding that they’re “super in love” and that Pitt is “very committed to her and their future.” Here, what we know about the relationship.

Who is Ines de Ramon?
Per the Daily Mail, she works at a fine-jewelry company in L.A. and speaks Spanish, French, and German. (There’s some confusion about her exact age; some say she’s 31, though other publications have her at 34. Pitt is 60.)
Before her relationship with Pitt, de Ramon was married to an actor from The Vampire Diaries, Paul Wesley. They quietly wed in 2019 after a year together and separated three years later. They finalized their divorce in February.

How long have de Ramon and Pitt been dating?
De Ramon and Pitt were first seen together at an L.A. Bono concert in November 2022, a few months after news of her separation surfaced. She popped up at subsequent premiere after-parties, birthday dinners, vacations, and post–awards-show date nights, and in February they reportedly moved in together — which, according to the Daily Mail, would make this Pitt’s first serious relationship since splitting up with Jolie. The former couple, who got married in 2014, have been locked in a tense divorce battle for eight years, which has painted Pitt in a less-than-flattering light: Jolie accused him of assaulting her and their children during a 2016 private flight, and now a handful of those children don’t seem to be using Pitt’s last name.

What have they been up to this summer?
Speaking of Jolie, “Page Six” recently reported that Pitt has spent a lot of this summer hanging out with de Ramon at Château Miraval, the embattled winery at the center of his insanely long divorce.
Between Miraval, popping up at the British Grand Prix in July, and Venice, it’s been quite the European summer for de Ramon and Pitt. (By the way, the festival’s artistic director suggested in a Vanity Fair interview that the scheduling was strategically arranged so that Jolie’s and Pitt’s trips would not overlap.) More recently, they were seen grabbing dinner following the L.A. premiere of Wolfs. Maybe for the fall, they will do the A-lister equivalent of going apple picking with your serious significant other: Tasting French grapes in the vineyard?
