Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon Enjoy a ‘Private’ Getaway in Carmel After Finalizing Divorce From Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt, 61, and his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, 32, celebrated the holiday season with a cozy and intimate winter retreat in Carmel, California. The picturesque coastal town on the Monterey Peninsula served as the perfect backdrop for the couple to unwind, especially after Brad’s grueling schedule filming his upcoming Formula 1 action movie.

A New Chapter for Brad Pitt

The romantic escape comes hot on the heels of Brad’s long-awaited divorce settlement with ex-wife Angelina Jolie, 49. The former power couple endured a grueling eight-year legal battle, but now, Brad seems ready to move forward with his life alongside Ines.

A source told Brad, who shares six children with Angelina, was deeply influenced by Ines to resolve the lingering divorce. “Ines de Ramon made it clear she wanted a future with Brad—potentially with children—and didn’t want his past holding them back,” the insider shared.

Brad and Ines, who began dating in late 2022, have been inseparable ever since. Ines was previously married to Paul Wesley, 42, while Brad famously had relationships with Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie.

A Romantic Getaway in Carmel

“Brad loves Carmel,” the source revealed. The town, known for its scenic beaches and art galleries, has become a sanctuary for the couple. “It’s a very private place for them,” the insider added, describing the location as ideal for their blossoming romance.

Their time together in Carmel signals a deepening commitment. According to sources close to the actor, Brad is planning to marry Ines as soon as 2025. He sees her as his partner for the next chapter of his life.

The Influence of Ines

Insiders suggest that Ines played a pivotal role in encouraging Brad to finalize his divorce with Angelina. “She told him life would be much more fulfilling once this chapter was closed,” said a source.

The couple’s bond appears to have grown stronger over the past two years. Brad has introduced Ines to his inner circle, including his close friend George Clooney, who has reportedly given his approval.

“Ines is refreshingly direct,” another source shared. “She’s the kind of person Brad needed to help him finally move on from the shadows of his past relationships.”

Brangelina: A Tumultuous Journey

Brad and Angelina, known as Brangelina, were one of Hollywood’s most iconic couples. They share six children: Shiloh, 18, twins Knox and Vivienne, 16, and adopted children Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, and Zahara, 19.

The divorce, filed by Angelina in September 2016, was marred by allegations of physical abuse, which Brad has consistently denied. While Brad was cleared of any wrongdoing after a legal investigation, the damage to his relationship with his children appears lasting.

Reports suggest that several of their children, including Maddox and Pax, have distanced themselves from Brad, while Knox and Vivienne maintain some communication with their father.

Legal Battles Continue Over Château Miraval

Despite the divorce settlement, Brad and Angelina remain locked in a heated legal dispute over Château Miraval, their French vineyard and luxury estate. Brad accused Angelina of selling her $62 million stake in the vineyard to Stoli Group without his consent.

Both parties have expressed willingness to take the matter to trial or mediation. The vineyard, known for producing some of France’s finest wines, remains a contentious point between the former spouses.

With the divorce now behind him, Brad is eager to focus on building a future with Ines. The couple has reportedly discussed marriage and starting a family. Sources hint that an engagement announcement could happen in early 2025, marking a new chapter in Brad’s life.

“Ines is everything Brad needs right now,” a Hollywood insider shared. “She’s grounded, compassionate, and ready to build a life together.”

As Brad steps into this new phase, fans are eager to see what lies ahead for the actor and his new love. One thing is clear: after years of turmoil, Brad Pitt is finally embracing a brighter and more hopeful future.
