Brad Pitt is making one thing clear: his personal and professional life are not in cahoots. While doing press for F1, his upcoming Formula One film, the Oscar-winning actor made a rare comment about his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, and clarified that their romance had nothing to do with movie marketing.
The couple first sparked headlines in November 2022, when they were spotted at a Bono concert, but kept a very low profile. While they attended events together and celebrated birthdays, they avoided red-carpet appearances and were only spotted in paparazzi photos.
It wasn't until July 7, 2024 they fully went public, hand in hand at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit in Northampton, England. At this point, photos of Pitt filming F1 had already hit the internet, and the movie wrapped with filming, so some people speculated that the timing was intentional.
But Pitt quickly shut that theory down, laughing it off in a new GQ interview. “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," The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star explained.
And if anyone knows how exhausting the spotlight can be, it’s him. Pitt has kept his love life private since his highly publicized split from Angelina Jolie. The two separated in 2016, but their divorce wasn’t legally finalized until December 2024.
In the same interview, he broke his silence on the divorce. When asked if he felt any relief now that it’s over, Pitt gave a surprisingly low-key response: “No, I don’t think it was that major of a thing." "Just something coming to fruition. Legally," Pitt said.
What's next for Brad and Ines?
Following Pitt's interview, a source told PEOPLE, de Ramon brings a lot of "peace" into his life and their relationship has been "easy and natural." “There’s no pressure between them,” adding, “She gives him space when he needs it, but is always there when it counts.”
There is no denying that Brad and Ines are serious, and it's believed that they are living together. But while the next usual step is marriage, there have been reports that that may never happen. Pitt has already been married twice, to Jennifer Aniston (2000-2005) and Jolie (2014-2016).
Most recently, the Daily Mail reported that the 61-year-old Oscar winner has no plans to get married again or have more children. Still, the insider made it clear: “Brad is totally in love with Ines."
According to the report, Pitt remains cautious about marriage because of his divorce and ongoing tension with their six children. “He’s been burned badly by the divorce from Angelina and his kids wanting little, if nothing, to do with him,” the source claimed.
