Brad Pitt 'consulted' his girlfriend to 'play' Angelina Jolie, preparing to announce the good news?

Brad Pitt's girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, reportedly encouraged him to settle a nearly decade-long divorce with Angelina Jolie so that the two could live together without getting into trouble.

The source revealed on Page Six: "Brad finally ended the divorce thanks to the influence of his girlfriend. Ines wants to live with Brad and have children in the future without having to think about the war that has lasted for 8 years. She told Brad that life would be much more interesting if this was resolved."

On December 30, 2024, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie agreed to sign divorce papers. According to People, Angelina and Brad once asked a jury to hear the divorce, which is expected to last between 10 and 15 days. However, after that, they agreed to participate in mediation without going to court.

Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in 2016 after two years of marriage. Since then, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" have been stuck in a fierce battle over custody and other issues.

The source said: "Both sides realized it was time to get over the old story and move on with their lives. Both parties benefit each other when finalizing the divorce." Angelina's lawyer also said that the actress "feels relieved that this is over", because she has always wanted to find peace and healing for her family.

Brad Pitt, 61, has been dating jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, 32, since late 2022. After a period of keeping their relationship private, this year they are comfortable appearing together more often. Brad and Ines made their red carpet debut in September 2024 at the Venice Film Festival in Italy.

In addition, there are some sources that the 8-year divorce of the 2 big stars quickly ended because Brad Pitt was preparing to marry a young love. The Daily Mail reported on December 31 that Brad Pitt was relieved that the divorce battle with his ex-wife had ended after many years. Ignoring the pain of separation from his children, the 61-year-old actor is immersed in love with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon.

The couple is considering a long-term relationship and plans to get married after 2 years together. A person in Hollywood who is connected to Brad Pitt's team shared: "Ines also wanted to have children and put pressure on him to solve things as soon as possible."

The source added: "Brad Pitt hopes to be able to build a good relationship with his children after the divorce process is completed. However, that seems to be a long and difficult journey." As for Ines de Ramon, the 9X beauty is said to have made it clear to friends, family and colleagues that the relationship between her and the Fight Club star has been so serious that it cannot be discussed further. In addition, it is reported that this businesswoman also asked her business partners, who work with her, to sign an information confidentiality agreement to ensure that no details about her private life are leaked to the media.

Ines de Ramon reportedly took these precautions to avoid giving Brad Pitt any sense that she was taking advantage of their relationship to gain fame and reassured the actor how much she valued their privacy. Currently, the couple lives together in Los Angeles (USA). Last month, a Daily Mail source also confirmed that the male artist was very serious about his girlfriend and wanted to get married again after completing the divorce procedure with his ex-wife.

Ines is said to be a positive influence on Brad Pitt and the Bullet Train star feels lucky to have a strong woman like her by her side. "Not only supporting Brad, Ines also supports him in legal matters and is not embarrassed when appearing in public."

Ines de Ramon was previously married to Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley. She finalized her divorce from Paul in March 2024 after two years of separation. The two have no children together after three years of marriage.
