’s romance with girlfriend is heating up, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be down on one knee anytime soon.
“There’s no rush. Brad and Ines both feel like they’ve met their soulmate,” a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly.
A second insider adds that neither Pitt, 60, nor de Ramon, 31, is “pushing for an engagement” because they feel confident in their connection.
“They know how serious they are [about each other]; they don’t need rings to prove it,” the source explains.
After staying largely under the radar since they were first linked in November 2022, Pitt and de Ramon walked hand in hand while arriving at the British Grand Prix in Northampton, England, on July 7. Despite the public appearance as a couple, the first source notes that Pitt and de Ramon have found ways to ensure that their relationship stays personal.
“Brad and Ines have mastered the art of balancing Brad’s high-profile public life with their private relationship,” the insider says. “They enjoy low-key date nights that allow them to unwind and connect. They often cook together, and movie nights are another favorite.”
The duo took a big step earlier this year when de Ramon moved into Pitt’s home. The second source shares that they’ve been “beyond happy” ever since.
“Brad loves how easygoing and smart Ines is,” the insider says. “They connect on an intellectual level as well as physical.”
De Ramon has been a source of support for Pitt amid his ongoing legal battle with ex-wife over their French winery, Ch teau Miraval. Pitt and Jolie, 49, separated in 2016 after two years of marriage and 12 years together. They share six children — Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 16 — whom Pitt has become estranged from since his split from Jolie.
“Sadly, Brad doesn’t have much of a relationship with his kids,” a third source exclusively told Us last month. “He’s not ready to give up on them, but knowing they are dropping his name is upsetting.” (Shiloh submitted a petition in May to have her father’s last name removed from her surname and Zahara and Vivienne have both publicly announced themselves using only Jolie’s surname.)
Despite the family rift, de Ramon has hopes that Pitt will “patch things up with Angelina,” another source told Us in May.
“Ines is very zen and doesn’t like conflict or negativity,” the insider shared, noting the difference from Pitt’s “always serious” relationship with Jolie. “Ines [wants] Brad to find peace, forgive and move on. From her perspective, it doesn’t make sense for him to hold on to all the animosity.”
Prior to sparking a romance with Pitt, de Ramon married Vampire Diaries alum in 2019. The pair separated in 2022.
