LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon's rumored relationship does not often make news but when it does, it usually leads to more interest in the personal lives of the two involved. Pitt has been in the news recently because of a lawsuit he filed against his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, regarding their property. His personal life has been scrutinized quite closely and anyone associated with him usually gets the same level of attention. Coming back to Ramon, it is reported that the two began getting closer to each other at the end of 2022. Speaking to US Weekly, a source had mentioned that Pitt has every intention “to settle down again” and is therefore super focused on his future with Ramon. While Pitt may be clear about his intentions, can the same be said for Ramon?
Ramon was previously married to 'The Vampire Diaries' actor Paul Wesley before meeting Pitt. Back in November 2022, when initially rumors about Pitt and her began to surface after the duo was spotted attending a Bono concert together in Los Angeles, insiders close to the actors claimed that the two had been together "months" before this sighting. That set tongues wagging about whether Ramon was still a married woman when she and Pitt began to date. Here's a look into the truth behind these rumors.
Was Ines de Ramon still married when she started dating Brad Pitt?
Ramon and Paul Wesley were still legally married when she began seeing Brad Pitt, but a source for the former couple told People that the two had already parted ways long before they made their separation public. A representative of the former couple told People in September 2022 that, "The decision to separate is mutual and occurred five months ago. They request privacy at this time.” They also revealed that Wesley and Ramon were living separately for a long time.
But it's not as if Wesley hadn't once again dipped his toes into the dating scene. Wesley was reportedly seen kissing model Natalie Kuckenburg in Italy in November 2022, the same month that Ramon and Pitt were rumored to be getting cozy. Weasly and Kuckenburg didn't wait long to announce their relationship to the world. They went to a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden a month later. They became an official Instagram by January 2023.
Wesley didn't file for divorce from Ramon until February 2023, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the main justification, according to Us Weekly. Surprisingly, Ramon filed for divorce on the same day. Thus, it can be safely presumed that the estranged couple moved on from each other smoothly and found love in their respective new partners pretty soon.
'She's glad to be starting this new chapter'
When Pitt and Ramon's romance rumors began surfacing, a source confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that, “Brad and Ines recently started dating. Brad is enjoying spending time with Ines and getting to know her better.” Another source added, “It is still new, but they are seeing where things go and like each other. They are having a good time together.”
In March 2023, a different insider told US Weekly that, “Brad adores Ines and things are going very well,” before adding that Pitt’s six children “haven’t met her yet and she has not met Angie. The relationship is still fairly new so it will take some time before any introductions to the rest of the family.” Pitt shares six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox with ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
Will Pitt tie the knot with Ramon? Well, only time will tell. But for now, they have not yet started living together. Although it was confirmed that, "she's glad to be starting this new chapter and really enjoys Brad's company." The insider added, "He enjoys her company, and they share a lot of laughs together ... Brad has been busy filming but has made an effort to maintain the relationship and they talk frequently when he isn't on set."
