In a rare and candid interview, Hollywood icon Brad Pitt has offered fresh insight into his relationship with jewelry executive Ines de Ramon and shared how he feels now that his long-standing divorce from Angelina Jolie has finally come to a legal end. Speaking with GQ in a feature published Wednesday, the 60-year-old Oscar winner opened up about love, public scrutiny, and finding peace in a life that’s constantly under the microscope.
Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon: A Private Love Now Gently Public
Though Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon have not publicly confirmed their relationship with statements or interviews, their public appearances have quietly spoken volumes. The couple made headlines when they walked the red carpet together for the first time at the 2024 Venice Film Festival in September. That marked a subtle but significant shift in their otherwise low-key romance.
Before their red carpet debut, the couple had been spotted attending several high-profile events, such as the British Grand Prix, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Gala. While they avoided posing together for cameras during those earlier appearances, observers noted their frequent presence at each other’s side behind the scenes.
In his GQ interview, Pitt was asked whether showing up at the British Grand Prix with Ines de Ramon was a strategic decision to go public. Laughing off the suggestion, Pitt responded honestly:
“No, dude, it’s not that calculated,” he said. “If you’re living—oh my God—how exhausting would that be? If you’re living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.”
Pitt’s remarks reinforce what many sources have said—that his relationship with de Ramon has developed naturally and steadily, with no urgency to define it under public pressure.
Who Is Ines de Ramon?
Ines de Ramon, 32, is far from just “Brad Pitt’s girlfriend.” She’s a multilingual, well-educated jewelry executive who serves as Vice President at Anita Ko Jewelry, a luxury brand favored by A-list celebrities. According to her LinkedIn profile and confirmed media reports, she holds a degree in Business Administration from the University of Geneva and is fluent in five languages, including French and Italian.
Prior to dating Pitt, she was married to actor Paul Wesley, known for his role in The Vampire Diaries. The couple quietly separated in 2022, and their divorce was finalized in early 2024, according to court documents obtained by People magazine.
Insiders say de Ramon brings a calming and supportive presence to Pitt’s life. One source close to the actor told People that she gives him “the space he needs to live his life, while also being incredibly loyal.” The relationship is said to be serious, though both prefer to avoid excessive media attention.
Brad Pitt on the End of His Marriage to Angelina Jolie
Another major topic addressed in the GQ interview was Pitt’s long, highly publicized divorce from Angelina Jolie, his ex-wife and the mother of their six children. Jolie originally filed for divorce in September 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. Over the years, their split became one of the most complex and controversial in Hollywood history, involving battles over child custody and joint business interests, including the Château Miraval winery in France.
The divorce was legally finalized in December 2024, after more than eight years of proceedings. Despite the protracted nature of the case, Pitt appeared unfazed when asked how it felt to have the divorce officially settled.
“No, I don’t think it was that major of a thing,” he said. “Just something coming to fruition. Legally.”
This low-key response echoes Pitt’s broader philosophy on living in the public eye. He seems to have made peace with the idea that his personal life—especially his romantic and family relationships—has long been fodder for the press.
Brad Pitt acknowledged the burden that comes with constant media scrutiny but said he’s learned to manage it over time.
“My personal life is always in the news,” he admitted. “It’s been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let’s put it that way.”
“It’s been an annoyance I’ve had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do,” he continued. “So, it’s always been this kind of nagging time suck—or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don’t know.”
Despite the challenges, Pitt emphasized that his current life feels grounded and secure. He attributes that sense of peace to his close-knit circle of friends and family, as well as his own self-awareness.
“Mostly I feel pretty… My life is fairly contained. It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am,” he shared. “It’s like this fly buzzing around a little bit.”
What’s Next for Pitt?
Professionally, Pitt is still going strong. He has been working on his upcoming Formula 1 racing film, currently being developed with Apple Studios. The film is expected to feature realistic on-track footage and has gained attention for its ambition and scale. Pitt has been spotted at multiple F1 events as part of the production, which adds context to his appearance at the 2024 British Grand Prix with de Ramon.
Privately, Pitt seems to be embracing a quieter, more intentional life. His reflections in the interview suggest a man who has weathered the storms of fame and personal upheaval and come out the other side with clarity and calm.
Brad Pitt’s openness in this new interview offers a rare and genuine look at the man behind the headlines. His relationship with Ines de Ramon appears to be one of quiet strength and mutual respect, while his reflections on fame and his past marriages show a desire to live with authenticity and grace. In a world often obsessed with celebrity drama, Pitt’s grounded outlook is both refreshing and deeply human.
