(NewsNation) — The international press went wild this week after Brad Pitt, 60, and his longtime girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, 33, went red carpet official at the Venice Film Festival.
But readers of this column were well aware of the two’s strong relationship months ago.
As I wrote in April: “Meanwhile, Pitt, 60, has moved on and moved in with his girlfriend, jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, 33. The couple have been together since 2022 and a close friend says she is joining him in Europe while he films ‘Apex,’ his movie inspired by the F1 racing circuit and the Grand Prix.”

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon ‘very serious’: Source
Not only did Ramon join Brad in England, Iceland and Italy (where they not only went to Venice but spent time with “Wolfs” co-star George Clooney and his wife Amal in Lake Como) but they are now camped out at his vineyard in France — the same one that he is battling over with his ex, Angelina Jolie.
“They are very serious about each other and talking long term — marriage and kids,” my source said, adding Pitt would be very open to more children with de Ramon.
Pitt has six children with Jolie, none of whom talk to him and several of whom have changed their last name from Jolie-Pitt to just Jolie. (Pitt’s side has claimed this is due to “parental alienation” by Jolie.)
A rep for Pitt declined comment.
