Brad Pitt hard launched his relationship with longtime girlfriend Ines de Ramon last night as they appeared on the red carpet together at Venice Film Festival 2024.
The Oceans Eleven star, 60, is in attendance at the prestigious film festival to promote his latest film Wolfs, with Ines, 34, accompanying him to the premiere.
The couple risked an uncomfortable run-in with Brad’s ex-wife Angelina Jolie, who is at the event for the premiere of biopic Maria.
Hollywood’s former ‘it couple’ split in 2016, and have since been embroiled in bitter divorce and custody battles as well as a legal dispute over their winery, Chateau Miraval.
Brad was all smiles as he went public with his new relationship, attending the public screening with longtime friend and co-star George Clooney and his wife Amal.
But who is Ines de Ramon? Here’s everything you need to know about her life, career, and relationship with the Hollywood icon.
Who is Ines de Ramon?
Ines de Ramon is a jewellery designer and the vice president of Los Angeles jewellery brand Anita Ko.
Pieces from the luxury jewellery label have been worn by Michelle Obama, Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Jennifer Garner, Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson.
After graduating from the University of Geneva in 2013, Ines has held roles at Christie’s and de Grisogono.
Before she was linked to Brad, the certified wellness coach was married to The Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley.
The former couple wed in a low-key ceremony in 2019 before announcing their split in 2022. Their divorce was finalised earlier this year.
‘The decision to separate is mutual and occurred five months ago,’ a rep told People at the time.
When did Ines de Ramon and Brad Pitt start dating?
Ines and Brad reportedly began dating in 2022 after ‘meeting through a mutual friend.’
An insider told People: ‘Ines is cute, fun and energetic. She has a great personality. Brad enjoys spending time with her.’
The couple were first spotted together at a Bono concert in Los Angeles in 2022 before being snapped on a romantic break to Cabo the following year.
Ines also attended the premiere of Brad’s movie Babylon in 2022, but they didn’t hit the red carpet together.
In recent months, it has been reported the lovebirds have been staying at Chateau Miraval, the French winery which has been at the centre of a bitter legal battle between Brad and Angelina.
‘Brad’s been working in Europe, so they’ve spent a lot of time there,’ the source told the publication.
‘He’s serious about Ines. He’s very happy and enjoys spending time with her. She’s easygoing and everyone likes her.’
Ines has reportedly ‘reformed’ Brad, with an insider telling In Touch Weekly the Fight Club star changed his hygiene routine and approach to wellness thanks to their relationship.
‘He’s really reformed for Ines,’ they said. ‘Brad used to be quite lackadaisical about taking showers and washing his hair, only wanting to use soap and water when he did shower and refusing to use deodorant or cologne.
‘He’d often go a day or two without bathing, which is astonishing given he’s such a huge sex symbol, but with Ines, it’s a different story.’
It comes as Brad and Angelina’s divorce rages on, with the Maria actor calling for the Bullet Train star to ‘end the fighting’.
Angelina filed for divorce from Brad just days after an alleged incident on a private plane journey from France to California in 2016, in which she accused her husband of being drunk and aggressive.
In recent years, their children – Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and Knox and Vivienne, 16 – have distanced themselves from their father, with some dropping his last name altogether.
