Brad Pitt made headlines at the Venice Film Festival by officially introducing his new girlfriend, Ines de Ramon. The couple's red carpet debut marked a significant moment in their relationship, which began in November 2022.
De Ramon, 34, stands in stark contrast to Pitt's ex-wife, Angelina Jolie. Unlike Jolie's Hollywood upbringing, de Ramon grew up in Cologny, an affluent Swiss suburb. She attended the prestigious Collège Calvin, one of Geneva's oldest educational institutions, founded in 1559.
The multilingual de Ramon boasts an impressive background. She graduated from the University of Geneva in 2013 with a business administration degree. Her career in the jewelry industry includes stints at Christie's, one of the world's oldest auction houses, and de Grisogono, a luxury Swiss jeweler.
Currently, de Ramon serves as vice president at Anita Ko, a Los Angeles-based jewelry brand founded in 2006. The brand is known for its modern designs and is popular among celebrities.
"Brad has never been happier. He likes women who challenge him intellectually, and Ines certainly fits that description."
Pitt, 60, and de Ramon have been taking their relationship slowly by Hollywood standards. They were first spotted together at a Bono concert in November 2022, nearly two years ago. In February 2024, de Ramon moved into Pitt's Los Feliz home, a neighborhood known for its historic architecture and celebrity residents.
The couple's appearance at the Venice Film Festival, one of the world's oldest and most prestigious film events founded in 1932, was carefully timed. Festival organizers ensured that Pitt and Jolie, who was also present to promote her film "Maria," would not cross paths.
De Ramon's previous marriage to actor Paul Wesley, known for his role in "The Vampire Diaries," ended in February 2024. This timing may have influenced the couple's decision to keep a low profile until now.
As Brad Pitt embarks on this new chapter, fans and observers are curious to see how this relationship develops. With de Ramon's successful career and multilingual background, she brings a fresh perspective to Pitt's life, potentially offering the stability and intellectual stimulation he seeks.
