On December 31, 2024, one of Hollywood's longest and most high-profile divorces came to an end. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie announced that they had definitively ended their marriage. The separation began in September 2016, and since then, disputes over assets and custody of their six children prolonged the process for years.
During all that time, both kept silent about the details of the legal process. They were discreet and avoided speaking publicly about their breakup. Now, six months after the official closure, Pitt has decided to break the silence in an interview with GQ magazine.
When he was asked if he felt relief at the end of the divorce, the actor replied briefly. He said it wasn't a big deal, but simply a legal outcome. His attitude reflects the discretion he has kept throughout the process.
New relationship and public appearances
In the same interview, Pitt also spoke about his current partner, Inés de Ramón. The executive and he began their relationship almost three years ago. However, they made it public in July 2024, during the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Great Britain.
The actor denied that this appearance was a calculated strategy to attract attention: "It's not calculated," he said with a laugh. He explained that life and relationships simply evolve without planning it.
Since his breakup with Jolie, De Ramón is the most stable partner he has been known to have. They have attended important events together, although keeping a discreet attitude. In September, for example, she was at the premiere of the movie Wolfs, but they didn't pose together for the media.
Who is Inés de Ramón?
Inés de Ramón is 35 years old and was born in New Jersey to a family with Spanish roots. She studied business administration in Switzerland and is fluent in five languages: English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian. Her professional specialty is the world of jewelry.
She has worked at prestigious firms such as Christie’s in Switzerland and De Grisogono in New York. She is currently executive vice president at the jewelry house Anita Ko in Los Angeles, where she has lived for more than five years. Her solid career has given Pitt stability and calm in these complicated times.
Distance from his children
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have six children: Maddox (23), Pax (21), Zahara (20), Shiloh (19), and twins Vivienne and Knox (16). Since the separation, the couple's children have grown closer to their mother and have reduced their relationship with their father.
A symbolic gesture of this distance is that several of them have stopped using the Pitt surname, keeping only Jolie's. This shows the family tension and the complexity of their bonds after years of dispute.
The actor faces this stage with discretion, trying to keep a balance between his personal and family life. The relationship with his children seems to be one of the most delicate matters he faces.
A new beginning for Brad Pitt
The end of the divorce marks the close of a complicated stage full of disputes. Now Pitt appears more open, although he remains reserved. His personal life moves forward with his new partner and away from media noise.
While he continues with his career, he tries to find stability in his family life. His children continue building their independence and keep firm decisions regarding their bond with him.
This end of a cycle means a new beginning for Pitt. The actor seems willing to live with more peace and privacy in the coming years.
