Rumoured rivalry between Angelina & Amal cooled the Brad & George bromance... But Pitt's new love, 26 years his junior, has brought them back together again

As a seasoned observer of celebrity dynamics, I must say that the romance between Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon seems to be a refreshing change of pace. Having spent years witnessing the tumultuous relationships of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, it’s heartening to see two individuals who appear to be genuinely enjoying each other’s company.


They are now referred to as the “New Famous Four” – George and Amal, Brad and Ines. These two renowned movie idols and their stunning partners seemed to have a delightful time together in Venice, frequently strolling down the red carpet with arms linked, particularly on Sunday.

They had actually spent a long weekend as a ‘pack’ at the Hotel Cipriani in the run-up to the premiere of Brad and George’s film, Wolfs, at the Venice Film Festival.

Critics might have perceived the buddy-movie as slightly arrogant or dull, yet the genuine bond revived between Brad and George is undeniable. A significant factor contributing to its success once more is the captivating female companion of Brad Pitt.

I can’t help but feel like fate had a hand in it when 34-year-old jewelry designer Ines de Ramon and the legendary Brad, both 60, took their relationship to the next level during the promotion of this movie. It’s as if the magic of cinema brought them together!

Being with Clooney, a friend for more than 30 years, is a safe space for Brad. It was a friendship that cooled during his disastrous marriage to Angelina Jolie.

In fact, Clooney didn’t even know that Pitt and Jolie were getting a divorce in 2016, saying: ‘Wow… I had no idea’, and, ‘That’s sad’ when the news was broken to him by a TV outlet.

In the year 2014, two years ago, Brad and Angelina didn’t attend his (Brad’s) wedding with Amal in Venice. They were busy filming their movie, “By The Sea,” which was being produced in Malta at that time.

Was it impossible for the Jolie-Pitt family to spare an afternoon and arrive via private jet instead? Brad mentioned much later that he simply couldn’t find the time to send a present to his friend, which felt quite thoughtless.

At the time, not everyone believed that the absence from the wedding was solely due to scheduling conflicts. Some rumors pointed towards a supposed rivalry between Angelina Jolie and Amal Clooney, a highly esteemed international lawyer in the field of human rights.

After years of being known as the world’s most glamorous humanitarian through her role as a special envoy for the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), Angelina was surpassed by Amal. Amal is intelligent, attractive, fashionable, and dedicated to significant work in human rights.

It’s not surprising that some people speculated whether the new Mrs. Clooney and the attention she received may have caused her some discomfort or upset.

Instead of standing out awkwardly, Ines blends effortlessly with no resistance, similar to Amal who exudes elegance and sophistication when accompanying her dashing Hollywood partner.

Similarly to Amal, Ines possesses a higher level of education and academic background compared to Pitt. While Pitt didn’t complete his degree in journalism at the University of Missouri, Ines earned her business degree from the University of Geneva.

Clooney went to both Northern Kentucky University and the University of Cincinnati but did not graduate from either, while his wife Amal has a law degree from Oxford.

Ines is multilingual (again like Amal) and fluent in French, English, German, Spanish and Italian. She skis like a dream, too – thanks to her upbringing in Geneva, Switzerland. She is knowledgeable about wine, fashion and music.

Although Angelina is known for having just a handful of true friends, primarily her kids, Ines boasts a sizable circle of close companions, many of whom are affluent professionals in the business world or acting, much like herself.

Contrary to Angelina, who has had a strained relationship with her father, Jon Voight, for the majority of her life, Ines values and cherishes her family. She maintains a strong bond with her parents residing in Geneva and her sister, believed to live in Ibiza.

Although Brad Pitt, who is both wealthiest and most recognized among the men she’s dated, doesn’t seem to be far removed from her circle in any sense.

Previously, she had been featured alongside Axel Harari in the high-society section of the magazine “Cote,” focusing on the affluent individuals residing along the banks of Lake Geneva.

Originating from one of the wealthiest Swiss families, who have substantial investments in real estate, he currently manages an art gallery.

Brad isn’t her first romantic connection within Hollywood – prior to him, she was with actor Paul Wesley, known for his role in The Vampire Diaries. Their relationship ended in 2022 following a short, three-year union.

Within six months he was dating a new, younger model, Natalie Kuckenburg. 

For refined Ines, their divorce appeared as an example of dignified conduct, in stark contrast to the Pitt-Jolie separation, which remains a long-lasting conflict across multiple issues, even eight years following their breakup.

A reliable source near Pitt shares that the difference between Ines and Angelina is evident. Ines seems to have an excellent rapport with everyone in Brad’s circle, as she comes across as quite laid-back and friendly.

The article mentions that de Ramon isn’t involved in starting a family at this time, nor is there any immediate wedding planning. However, they have been offering solace and encouragement as Pitt navigates the challenging situation of mending his relationships with the six children he has with Angelina Jolie.

It’s believed that he doesn’t maintain a bond with his older, adopted children Maddox and Pax, as well as his daughter Zahara, who no longer refers to him by name. Interestingly, his biological daughter Shiloh chose to legally disassociate from the Pitt family name once she turned 18 years old.

16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne recently made headlines, with Vivienne being recognized under her own name in a theater program for her role as a production assistant.

It seems uncertain if he interacts with the older kids anymore, since they have grown beyond the age where he had visitation rights due to the custody arrangement.

Lately, there have been some difficulties, such as concerns about son Pax, aged 20, who Angelina has employed as an assistant director for her movies. On August 1st, while riding his e-bike, he collided with a car from behind. He wasn’t wearing a helmet at the time, leading to a severe condition known as ‘complex trauma,’ which encompasses a brain hemorrhage and injuries to the head and hip. This unfortunate incident resulted in him being admitted to intensive care.

Eyewitnesses reportedly thought he was dead and first responders saved his life.

Jolie stood by him during his hospital stay, and all five siblings paid a visit – except Pitt, who was regularly updated on the situation. In a heated Instagram post in 2020, Pax referred to his father as a “top-tier jerk.

According to someone close to Brad, he and Ines are very content and supportive of one another. While there’s talk about them starting a family, it’s premature at this point. They are simply savoring their happiness and the moment they share together.

He adds: ‘She is a very chill person which is great for him. Brad has ongoing issues with being separated from his family. It’s been a tough summer with that and with filming the Formula One film, F1. He has been dealing with personal issues which are very upsetting, and she is a support through that. She is very positive part of his life.’

Who exactly is Ines de Ramon, and what led her to be associated with Brad Pitt, a man still considered one of the most attractive in Hollywood at age 60?

Ines Olivia de Ramon hails from New Jersey; she is the daughter of parents who were both born in Madrid – her father, Tito, is a financier, while her mother is a homemaker.

Growing up, Ines and her sibling resided in the affluent neighborhood of Cologny, situated in Geneva. Ines attended Calvin College from the 16th century, where she was well-known as one of its most esteemed students. Later on, she obtained a Business degree at the University of Geneva.

Following her graduation, she gained work experience at Christie’s in Geneva and Kempinski hotel in client services. In 2014, she relocated to New York and joined De Grisogono jewellers. Subsequently, she was approached by Anita Ko Jewelry, where she now holds the position of vice-president and heads the wholesale department.

The clients of this diamond company, known for its ‘everyday diamonds’, are distinguished figures such as Michelle Obama, Queen Rania of Jordan, and Scarlett Johansson.

It’s reported that Ines crossed paths with her initial spouse, Paul Wesley, in the year 2019 while he was vacationing in Ibiza. Their bond seemed strong, and they decided to take in a stray dog named Gregory during the pandemic period.

Despite disclosing their separation in September 2022, Wesley filed for divorce in February 2023, attributing the split to unresolvable issues.

1) Their divorce was amicable, with her asking to resume her original surname and him forgoing alimony. It’s been reported that they had known each other through the same social circle since 2023, and were introduced by a mutual friend prior to their union.

There’s a small chance our common acquaintance might be George Clooney, considering they both know certain high-end PR professionals who handle public relations for Omega watches.

In late 2023, they were spotted together for the first time backstage at the Los Angeles Orpheum theatre following Bono’s solo performance, and later at an art and film gala in LA. Towards the end of the year, they enjoyed a vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

At the 2024 British Grand Prix, they were seen together, as Brad showcased his forthcoming sports-themed movie. Additionally, they visited the Miraval vineyard in France, a place once co-owned by him and Angelina, and took a trip to Paris this past summer.

It’s been shared with me that, despite traveling through Europe together, he hasn’t had the chance to meet his partner’s family yet – that’s an obstacle still to be overcome – however, their relationship is quite significant.

It seems their common passions lie in preparing meals, going for hikes, and strolling dogs along the shoreline. Lately, she’s been sporting a necklace adorned with a ‘B’ charm, which might be a token from Brad.

As a devoted admirer, I’ve been privy to some intriguing tidbits, and one such detail is that Brad often prepares intimate candlelit dinners, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Pacific Ocean at his residence in Carmel, California.

The insider said: ‘They go ­skinny-dipping in the ocean. He hasn’t felt this way in years.’

It is surely significant that the couple have spent time together at Miraval, the estate in France which he had dreamed would be a forever home for him, Angelina and the children.

Miraval exerts a great pull for him and he is fighting legal action against the Stoli Group, to whom Angelina sold her stake in the vineyard, with everything he has.

In a charming stone residence, which was recently the location for an interview with him and Mr. Clooney by GQ magazine, resides the house. Interestingly, the Clooney family lives not far off, approximately a half-hour drive from this abode.

Behind the scenes during that interview was Ines – refined, subtle, and unlike his renowned past spouses Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie, content with avoiding the limelight. Exactly what Brad seems to prefer.
