The Oscar-winning actor and the jewelry designer are living together at Brad Pitt’s home, sources say
Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon have taken their relationship to the next level. The couple, who have been dating since late 2022, are now living together at Pitt’s Los Angeles home, multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE.
“It’s pretty recent,” says a Ines de Ramon source, who notes that she hasn’t given up her own place completely. “They are going very strong and she is happier than ever.”
Representatives for the couple didn’t respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Brad Pitt, 60, and de Ramon, 34, were first spotted together in November 2022, and sources said at the time that they had already been dating for “a few months.” A mutual friend introduced them to one another, and they hit it off well enough that Pitt has brought her to several high-profile events, including the premiere of his racing movie Babylon and the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where he honored his friend Bradley Cooper.
“They have a lot in common and enjoy each other’s company,” a fashion industry source close to de Ramon told PEOPLE in December 2022.
De Ramon, who was born in France and raised in Spain, is a jewelry designer and executive for a luxury brand. She was previously married to The Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley, but they quietly separated in 2022 after three years of marriage.
Brad Pitt, who won an Oscar for his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, was married to Angelina Jolie for two years before they split in 2016. They share six children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.
How they met and fell in love
Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon were first spotted together at a star-studded Bono concert in Los Angeles on Nov. 15, 2022. Pictured backstage, Pitt wore a wide-brim brown hat, a gray patterned zip-up sweater over a white shirt and jeans, while de Ramon wore fitted black pants, black boots, a white top and a dark plaid jacket with a yellow purse.
The pair reportedly met up with fellow A-listers Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber and Sean Penn at the concert. A source close to de Ramon told PEOPLE at the time that Pitt and de Ramon had actually been dating “for a few months,” noting that a mutual friend introduced them to one another.
The source added that de Ramon “is very nice” and that Pitt was “really into her”. A source close to Pitt said that the relationship wasn’t serious at the time. “It’s not an exclusive relationship,” the Pitt source said, adding, “Ines is cute, fun and energetic. She has a great personality. Brad enjoys spending time with her”.
Pitt brought de Ramon as his plus-one to the L.A. premiere of Babylon on Dec. 15, 2022. Though they didn’t walk the red carpet together, Pitt and de Ramon reportedly mingled together at the premiere’s afterparty, sometimes with their arms around one another.
“Brad is clearly very into her given he brought her to his premiere,” the fashion industry source close to de Ramon told PEOPLE in December 2022. “They are having fun together and she makes him very happy”.
What’s next for the happy couple
According to insiders close to the couple, Pitt and Ines de Ramon are enjoying their time together and have been traveling to Europe, where Pitt was filming his Formula One racing movie. They also celebrated Pitt’s 60th birthday in December with a “very low key” party with his friends.
“They are very into each other and don’t care who sees it,” a source told PEOPLE in July 2023. “They are not hiding their relationship anymore.”
While Pitt and Ines de Ramon have yet to make their red-carpet debut as a couple, they are not shy about showing their affection in public. In photos published by HELLO!, Pitt and de Ramon could be seen sitting next to one another at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Feb. 8, 2024, where Pitt honored friend Bradley Cooper with the outstanding performer of the year award.
Pitt donned a dark-brown suit for the evening at the Arlington Theater, while his girlfriend looked glam as she rocked a high-necked teal halter dress. One photo showed Pitt leaning in to a smiling de Ramon, appearing to whisper something in her ear.
At the event, the actor kept a low profile and skipped the red carpet, but when he took to the stage to honor Cooper, the crowd applauded wildly. When Pitt presented the award, he poked fun at Cooper and joked that he was just there for the free trip to Santa Barbara.
In March of last year, Pitt found a buyer for the sprawling estate he had owned for nearly 30 years, in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Los Feliz. A real-estate source previously confirmed to PEOPLE that he was trying to unload the expansive property for about $40 million in January 2023.
