After dating basically everyone except for me, Brad Pitt has emerged from a protracted single era like a sexy moth bursting out of its cocoon. Basically, Brad is coming out of his cage and he’s been doing just fine, by which I mean he’s dating Ines de Ramon. And their relationship has somehow gone from totally private to getting pap’d semi-nude on vacation, so clearly it’s time to put the puzzle pieces together...which is a long-winded way of saying we’ve made a full timeline of their relationship in case you’re in a state of confusion about who Ines de Ramon is, how long she’s been dating Brad Pitt, and why no one bothered to give you a heads-up.

A rep for Ines and Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley confirms they “have separated” and adds, “The decision to separate is mutual and occurred five months ago. They request privacy at this time.”
Sooo they broke up in May 2022, got it. Or in layman’s terms, just over a year after Paul confused Madison Beer with actual beer.

The Daily Mail gleefully publishes exclusive photos of Brad and Ines getting what they described as “up close and personal” at a Bono concert. In retrospect, this was clearly a date, but at the time society decided not to read too much into things since Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber, Sean Penn, and Vivi Nevo were also there. Like, maybe they were just friends, you know? (They weren’t.)
December 16, 2022
Otherwise known as the fated day that Us Weekly reports Brad is “smitten with Ines,” but they weren’t “officially dating.”
“They’ve been spending time together as friends and really enjoy each other’s company,” the source muses, adding that Brad “wasn’t expecting to find someone so extraordinary like Ines,” but “they are becoming great friends” and will see what “blossoms from there.”
Like, I’ve been here the ENTIRE TIME Brad but what! ever!
Anyway, this same day, People reports that Brad took Ines to the after-party for his new movie Babylon and a “fashion industry source” (lol) says he “is clearly very into her given he brought her to his premiere.” But! Another source adds, “It’s not serious yet, but he’s comfortable and they’re having fun together” and says, “Ines is fun and social. They have a great time together. They do solo dates but also group dates with friends.”
Here’s Brad at the premiere, btw!

Brad and Ines are spotted celebrating his birthday together in Hollywood. A People source has this to say:
“Brad had a birthday party dinner with Ines and friends on Saturday night. Guests brought gifts and the group shared a lot of Italian food. Brad even got a birthday treat with a candle and the group sang happy birthday. He was in the best mood. He sat next to Ines. They were very cute and flirty. You could tell that she makes him happy.”
December 21, 2022
Ahead of the holidays, one of the many sources who cannot stop talking about Brad and Ines tells Us Weekly that they’re “officially dating now,” “really enjoy each other’s company,” and “are having a great time in the early stages of an early relationship but are still getting to know each other.”

Apparently, Cabo changed everything (nude sunbathing can do that), because an Us Weekly source suddenly reveals that Brad and Ines are officially serious.
“They’ve been hanging out a ton, taking in art shows in L.A. and jamming to music and watching movies over at his place,” the source says. “He’s been cooking for her, they work out and go on hikes, go over projects they both have and bounce ideas off each other too.”
“Brad has gone from seeing this as a fling to wanting to spend all his time with her,” the source adds. “The other girls he was flirting with or considering as dates have all gradually disappeared. It seems just a matter of time before they’re officially exclusive.”

They have a lot in common and Brad likes how chill and low-key Ines is. They’re excited about where things are headed.”

It's been a minute, but Brad and Ines are still going strong. In fact, Brad's legal drama has made them stronger.
A source tells Us Weekly, “It’s widely known that Brad is dealing with a lot of legal drama but Ines’ feelings for him haven’t wavered whatsoever. If anything, it’s only made their connection stronger in a lot of ways because they’re very open and honest when it comes to communication about their lives, whether it be the good or the bad times.”

A People insider says Brad and Ines are still “going very strong” and "have been spending a lot of time together this summer as they truly enjoy each other's company and are very into each other. It's apparent to anyone who sees them together.”
“He still keeps a residence at Chateau Miraval and has been spending a lot of time there and elsewhere in Europe,” the source notes. “And Ines has been flying in to see him several times."

After spending the summer together, a source tells Us Weekly that Brad and Ines's “relationship is stronger than ever” and that they “spend almost all their free time together.”
That said, “Brad still hasn’t introduced his kids to Ines. It’s not that he doesn’t love Ines, it’s just that he wants to ensure this relationship is going the distance before he takes that major step.”

In a *chef’s kiss* Kylie Jenner/Timothée Chalamet playbook moment, Brad and Ines attend LACMA’s 12th annual Art+Film Gala in Los Angeles but do *not* pose for pics together bc ~inconspicuousness~.
That! Said!!!, according to a source who speaks with People, the two “were super loving. Laughing and joking with everyone around them...They seemed to be having a good time.”

February 17, 2024
YET! ANOTHER! People source comes through, this time saying “They were spending so much time together at Brad’s that it just made sense for Ines to move in with him. Brad’s very happy and loves spending time with her. Moving in together was a natural thing.”
