The continuing saga involving Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Pitt’s girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, is marked with passion and custody disagreements.
Jolie has reportedly cautioned Pitt against allowing their children to form relationships with his girlfriend, de Ramon.
Sixty-year-old Pitt and 31-year-old de Ramon, have been an item for about two years, progressing to the point where de Ramon has moved into Pitt’s residence in Los Feliz, California. However, insiders report that de Ramon deliberately vacates the home before Pitt’s children with Jolie get there, ensuring no encounters occur. This action highlights the delicate balancing act of fostering relationships while observing the limits set around Pitt’s six children with Jolie—Maddox, 21, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.
Pitt and Jolie, who became romantically involved in 2005, expanded their family through adoptions and births until their 2014 wedding. Their 2016 separation resulted in a bitter divorce and custody battle, with Jolie awarded full custody of their minor children in December 2016, and Pitt receiving visitation rights.
The friction between Pitt and his offspring, specifically with Pax and Zahara, is evident. Pax’s scathing Instagram story about his father in 2020 and Zahara’s choice to omit the “Pitt” name from her surname highlight the strained familial ties. Despite these obstacles, Pitt has sought to preserve relationships with his children, with varying results.
Pitt’s new liaison with de Ramon, a jewelry designer, signifies a significant milestone in his personal life post-Jolie. Those close to Pitt suggest that the actor, who has become increasingly private and circumspect following his divorce, views his relationship with de Ramon as a source of joy and renewal.
A source near to Pitt stated, “He has a cheeky smile every time he is around her.”
Nevertheless, Jolie’s clout persists, with restrictions on de Ramon’s interactions with Pitt’s children.
The custody conflict has also served as a platform for broader issues, such as claims of judicial bias and the call for domestic violence training for judges, underscored by Jolie’s advocacy for “Piqui’s Law.” This law seeks to ensure that children’s voices are taken into account in custody disputes, a contentious point in Jolie and Pitt’s legal wranglings.
Though Pitt is reportedly “smitten” with de Ramon and experiencing a sense of renewed happiness, their situation is a stark reminder of the complexities that accompany high-profile relationships, particularly those involving children from previous marriages.
As the situation progresses, the focus remains on the well-being of Pitt and Jolie’s children, the privacy and happiness of Pitt and de Ramon, and the continuing legal and personal negotiations that characterize the post-divorce relationship between Pitt and Jolie.
