Brad Pitt and Inés de Ramón made their red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival this past weekend, adding to reports that things are getting serious for the couple.
Earlier this year, sources told the outlet that the couple was living together.
“It's pretty recent,” a De Ramon source told People in February, noting that she hadn't given up her own place entirely. “They're doing great and she's happier than ever.”
And just a few days ago, on August 31, People magazine reported that a source had told them: “He is serious about Ines. He is very happy and enjoys spending time with her. She is easy-going and everyone loves her.”

They also reported that Pitt has been “working in Europe, so they've been spending a lot of time there.”
“I think their public appearance is a vote of confidence from the two of them that they're going to be together for a long time,” Balthazar Entertainment's Brian Balthazar told Fox News Digital about their debut. “Brad is not one to make announcements or proclamations about his private life. He doesn't have an Instagram or Twitter account. So, in their case, the most deliberate way to 'go public' is this way: just showing up together and posing for some photos.”

She added: “I think not being on social media has served him well. In a culture where everyone shares (actually, they share too much), he maintains a quiet mystery about himself that is appealing.”
Relationship expert and celebrity matchmaker Alessandra Conti told Fox News Digital: “Brad and Ines have a very good chance of lasting as a couple. It took Brad years to recover from the split and work on himself a lot after his divorce from Angelina Jolie in 2016 before embarking on a new serious relationship.”

“This is what I always recommend to all of my clients,” she continued. “It can be incredibly tempting to put a Band-Aid on a breakup by jumping headfirst into a new relationship, but Brad took some much-needed time to work on himself.”
Pitt and Ramon first sparked romance rumors in November 2022 when they were photographed together at a Bono concert alongside Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.
At the time, People magazine reported that the couple had been “dating for a few months” and that “Brad is really into” her.
A source who knows Pitt added: “Ines is cute, funny and full of energy. She has a great personality. Brad enjoys spending time with her.”

The relationship has continued ever since, with De Ramon often accompanying Pitt to premieres, although they have never previously posed for photographs.
She was also spotted with him at his last two birthdays, including his 60th last December.
“In a culture where everyone shares (actually, shares too much), he maintains a quiet mystery about himself that is appealing.”
“The couple has kept their relationship private since they met in 2022, and I love this union because Ines is connected to the entertainment industry,” Conti said. “She is the vice president of a jewelry brand based in Los Angeles. I always say that in every relationship there is a diamond and there is a setting. In most celebrity relationships, the celebrity who is facing each other is the diamond and the partner is a strong setting.”
The 34-year-old jewelry designer was previously married to “The Vampire Diaries” star Paul Wesley for about three years before they split in 2022.

BRAD PITT IN HIS FIRST SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP SINCE HIS INTENSE SEPARATION FROM ANGELINA JOLIE: WHO IS INES DE RAMON?
De Ramon's divorce was finalized earlier this year, which Conti speculates may have contributed to her and Pitt's decision to keep it a secret.
“Although they had been separated until then, it is possible that she wanted to keep the relationship secret until the courts officially recognised her divorce from Paul,” he said.
As for her situation with Pitt, Conti said: “I'm not a big fan of keeping a relationship 100% private; I think it's a very strong signal that he's put it out there openly to the public.”
Balthazar agreed. “It's no surprise that he wanted to keep the relationship private for a while. They've both been through divorces and are very aware of the attention a relationship is going to bring, so I think it was wise to take their time and just appear together when they felt like it.”

Pitt has been in two high-profile marriages, the first to Jennifer Aniston from 2000 to 2005.
During their marriage they formed the production company Plan B.
“We started this little company underground, we didn't really talk about it because we didn't want to be accused of being actors who have vanity contracts where they don't do anything,” Aniston told The Guardian in 2004.
Pitt did not comment much on his relationship with Aniston until after their divorce.
In 2011, she told Parade: “It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I myself wasn't living an interesting life. I think my marriage [to Aniston] “It had something to do with it. Trying to make the marriage look like something it wasn't.”

“I always say that in every relationship there is a diamond and a setting. In most relationships between celebrities, the celebrity in front is the diamond and the partner is a strong setting.”

He later clarified his comments in a statement, saying: “The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was boring, but that I was becoming boring to myself, and I am responsible for that.”
Pitt and Aniston's breakup was infamous after Pitt began a relationship with Jolie after they met on the set of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” in 2003.
They dated for several years and became parents to six children: Maddox, Zahara, both initially adopted by Jolie, Shiloh, their first biological child together, Pax, adopted in 2007 by the couple, and their twins, Knox and Vivienne.
After seven years together, Pitt and Jolie got engaged in 2012. The “Fight Club” star told CBS News at the time that they were “getting a lot of pressure from the kids” to get engaged.

“It means something to them and, you know, they wonder why their friends' parents are getting married,” Pitt said. “Someday we will. We will… [But the kids say]”Get mom a ring!” Okay, I'll do it, I'll do it.”
They married in 2014 at the Château Miraval in France. Two years later, they divorced, citing irreconcilable differences.
The legal drama with the couple has dragged on in the years since.
In 2019, the former couple was declared legally single, but not yet divorced, as they continue to fight over their settlement.

In 2021, Pitt was granted joint custody of the couple's children, but Jolie challenged the ruling. It is unclear where the two stand on custody of the children at this time. Twins Vivienne and Knox are the only remaining children under the age of 18.
Château Miraval is also at the center of her legal battles, with Pitt suing Jolie for breach of contract in 2022. The “Maleficent” actress sold her share of the business, prompting the lawsuit. She made $67 million on the sale.
Page Six claimed that Pitt and Ramon had been spending time there over the summer.
Representatives for Pitt and Ramon did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE SEPARATED: THE 'FIGHT CLUB' ACTOR IS FREE TO MARRY HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND DESPITE NOT BEING DIVORCED
“Considering the short attention spans of readers and the short shelf life of celebrity news, Angelina and Brad's initial split in 2016 almost seems like an eternity ago, so I don't think Brad having a girlfriend seven years later has a particular impact on how people perceive him. But if anything, I think seeing him in a healthy, long-term relationship can be seen as a benefit,” Balthazar said.

Conti agreed, saying, “Even though there is ongoing legal drama with Angelina, the relationship with Ines helps Brad's public image. The public seems to be intrigued and excited that one of the most famous men in the world is dating a non-celebrity. Ines is also a successful young woman in her own right – it's no easy feat to speak multiple languages and become a vice president of a company. She seems level-headed, well-educated, and, according to several sources close to the couple, very down-to-earth and calm, which is a wonderful match for Brad.”

She added that “marriage and procreation seem to be very much on the agenda for this couple. She is only 30 years old and had a rescue dog with her ex (which shows she may have some sort of maternal instinct).”
