At one point in time, Brad Pitt might well have been considered the most eligible bachelor on Earth. But no more.
Fans have known for some time now about his romance with Ines de Ramon; the pair are said to have planned to celebrated his milestone 60th birthday with a low-key week.
According to PEOPLE, Pitt wasn’t of a mind to go overboard with the celebrations after ushering in his sixth decade on Monday. It surely says quite a bit about his commitment to De Ramon, then, that he wanted to spend his time with her.
Last month, a source is said to have spoken to PEOPLE and described De Ramon, ex-wife of actor Paul Wesley, as “Brad’s first proper relationship since the divorce” from Angelina Jolie.
Indeed, the Troy star is said to have started introducing the 32-year-old as his girlfriend.
“He introduces [Ines] as his girlfriend,” an insider PEOPLE. “It’s great to see him in a good place. Ines makes him very happy.”
It’s been a rocky road back to happiness for Pitt, whose marriage to Angelina Jolie ended in a tumultuous separation, the wounds of which still don’t appear to have fully healed.
Famously dubbed ‘Brangelina’ in the media, the A-listers fell in love on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, embarking on a romance that stole headlines all over the world.
In 2016, however, Jolie filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. She also moved to request sole custody of the pairs six children, Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne and Knox.
On January 21, 2021, Angelina Jolie emailed Brad Pitt, an email which has since then made public. In the email, she mentions that she writes “with a heavy heart” to inform Pitt of her decision to sell Miraval, “a business that is centered around alcohol.” This is perhaps a reference to the now infamous plane event where an intoxicated Pitt “choked” one of their children and then “struck another in the face” before he poured alcohol on her and the kids.
As recently as October did Brad find his name in the headlines for a less than savory reason, after an old Instagram story surfaced wherein his adopted son Pax had labeled him a “f****ing awful human being”.
Pax, who was 16 at the time, expressed his displeasure with his father and warned him “the truth will come to light someday.”
“You time and time and again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person,” Pax wrote over an image of his father accepting the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
“You have no consideration or empathy toward your four youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence.
“You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you’re incapable of doing so.
SELENA GOMEZ OPENS UP ABOUT HER STRUGGLE WITH MOTHERHOOD: A DEVASTATING REVELATION
Selena Gomez recently opened up about a very personal issue she’s facing with her dreams of becoming a mother. She revealed that due to past health problems, she is unable to carry her own children. These complications could put both her life and the baby’s life at risk.
In a recent interview, the 32-year-old singer and actress spoke candidly about coming to terms with her situation. She discussed the difficult journey of accepting alternative ways to become a mother, like surrogacy or adoption.
Family has always been important to Selena Gomez, and she has openly talked about her wish to have children. As a godmother to her cousin Priscilla’s two kids, she has experienced both the joys and difficulties of parenting.
However, these experiences have also highlighted her own struggles. In a heartfelt interview with Vanity Fair, Gomez shared, “I haven’t ever said this, but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children. I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in danger. I had to grieve this for a while.”
Though it was upsetting for her, Selena seemed to have found peace. “It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it,” she said. “I thought it would happen the way it does for everyone. But I’m in a much better place now. I see it as a blessing that there are amazing people willing to help through surrogacy or adoption, which are both great options for me.”
The singer is excited about becoming a mother, no matter how it happens. “At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby,” she added.
Over the years, Selena Gomez has been open about her health struggles that make pregnancy too risky for her. In 2015, she revealed that she had lupus, an autoimmune disease, and had to undergo chemotherapy. She took a break from her career because her condition was so severe.
A year later, Gomez also talked about the mental health challenges caused by her lupus, including anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. She shared with People that dealing with these issues brought its own set of “challenges.”
Because of her health issues, Selena Gomez had to take more time off from her career to focus on her well-being. Despite these efforts, her struggles continued. In 2017, Gomez underwent a life-saving kidney transplant, with the kidney donated by her close friend, Francia Raisa.
She publicly expressed her gratitude to Raisa and her medical team for their support during this challenging time. On Instagram, Gomez wrote, “I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much, sis.”
Unfortunately, Selena Gomez’s challenges didn’t stop there. In 2020, she shared that she has bipolar disorder. During an Instagram chat with Miley Cyrus, Gomez talked about how understanding her condition helped her feel less scared.
“It doesn’t scare me once I know it,” Gomez explained. She said that learning more about her mental health issues allowed her to take charge of her own story.
These health challenges have certainly shaped Selena Gomez’s outlook on life and her future plans, which now include her relationship with music producer Benny Blanco.
Initially friends and collaborators on hits like “Same Old Love” and “I Can’t Get Enough,” Gomez and Blanco began dating in 2023. Their relationship has since grown into a publicly affectionate and supportive partnership.
Although Gomez’s journey is deeply personal, her willingness to share her struggles has touched many people. Her revelation led to a wave of empathy and support from fans and online users. One fan commented, “That’s sad for her, but she definitely has options, and she’ll make a great mom someday!”
