Brad Pitt has always been one to keep his personal life close to the chest, especially after his very public and difficult divorce from Angelina Jolie.
But lately, fans have been seeing a different side of the actor — happier, more grounded, and clearly in love.
His relationship with jewelry executive Ines de Ramon is looking stronger than ever as they step out together to support Brad’s latest sports movie, F1.
The couple, who live together in Los Angeles, have been spotted side by side more often, showing off their deep connection.
Sobriety Has Transformed Brad Pitt’s Life and Love
An insider close to Brad has opened up exclusively to Daily Mail about how his sobriety — which he’s maintained for over eight years — has completely changed his life.
The source says Brad is now “the best version of himself” and enjoys a life beyond what he once imagined.
Not only does Ines support his commitment to sobriety, but she finds it incredibly attractive.
According to the insider, being sober means Brad is his authentic self all the time, which makes their relationship “easier to navigate” and much more genuine.
Who Is Ines de Ramon — Brad’s Partner and Jewelry Executive
Ines heads wholesale at the fine jewelry brand Anita Ko Jewelry, a label adored by celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian, January Jones, and Hailey Bieber.
Though she’s kept a fairly low profile with Brad, the couple first surfaced publicly in November 2022.
By early 2024, they had taken a big step and moved in together.
Their official public debut as a couple came at the British Grand Prix in July 2024, followed by a red carpet appearance at the premiere of Brad’s movie Wolfs a couple of months later.
Since then, they’ve been more open about their relationship, often attending events and dinners as a couple.
Sobriety Deepens Their Connection, Says Insider
The source emphasizes that much of the strength in their relationship comes from Brad’s sobriety.
It keeps their bond “deep, spiritual, and grounded in reality.”
The insider went on to say, “Everything that he is, everything that he has and everything that he will have is a direct result of his sobriety.”
Past Relationships and Personal Growth
Ines isn’t new to the spotlight either — she was married to The Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley for three years before their quiet split in late 2022, with the divorce finalized earlier this year.
Brad’s own relationship history is well known.
He was married to Jennifer Aniston from 2000 to 2005, a marriage marked by its ups and downs.
Then came his controversial relationship and marriage to Angelina Jolie after meeting on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Brad and Angelina share six children but endured a highly public and bitter divorce that dominated headlines for years.
According to the insider, Brad today is a very different man from the one people knew during his marriage to Angelina — a change he attributes largely to his sobriety.
Brad Opens Up About His Sobriety Journey
On the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard, Brad spoke candidly about needing a “reboot” after his marriage ended.
He described feeling “pretty much on [his] knees” and realizing he needed to “wake the f**k up” in certain areas of his life.
Attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings was intimidating at first, but Brad found inspiration in the openness of others sharing their struggles.
In a 2019 interview with The New York Times, he called AA a “safe space where there was little judgment” and shared that it brought him great value.
Despite initial misconceptions, Brad says AA “saved his life,” and he met lifelong friends through the program.
The insider confirmed that while Brad has faced ups and downs, one thing has stayed consistent — his sobriety.
