Brad Pitt’s girlfriend Ines de Ramon has been a “calming and supportive presence” after the actor finalized his divorce from Angelina Jolie.
“There’s no pressure between them,” a source tells PEOPLE exclusively. “She gives him space when he needs it, but is always there when it counts.”
The Oscar winner, 61, and the jewelry industry executive, 32 — who have been dating since 2022 — are in a “really solid place,” the insider says.

“Ines has brought a lot of peace into Brad’s life,” the source adds. “Their relationship has been easy and natural.”
The Fight Club star finalized his lengthy divorce from the Maria actress, 49, in December 2024. Jolie had initially filed to dissolve their marriage in September 2016.
The actors, who share six children — Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, Knox, 16, and Vivienne, also 16 — began dating in the mid-2000s and married in 2014.
De Ramon quietly tied the knot in 2019 with Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley, but after more than three years of marriage, the couple split in 2022. PEOPLE first reported the news revealing that they had been living apart for several months.
“Ines encouraged Brad to move forward and focus on the future. She’s grounded, drama-free, and just really good for him which is exactly what he needs at this stage,” says the source.
Pitt spoke out for the first time about finalizing his divorce from Jolie after more than eight years of intense legal fighting.
As the A-list actor sat down with GQ to discuss his upcoming racing movie F1 in a feature published Wednesday, May 28, the actor dismissed questions regarding whether he felt “relief” after he and Jolie reached a settlement in their divorce.

“No, I don’t think it was that major of a thing,” Pitt said. “Just something coming to fruition. Legally.”
He also gave a rare glimpse of insight into his relationship with de Ramon when asked whether the move to make their first public-event appearance at a Formula 1 race was deliberate.
Pitt laughed and told GQ, “No, dude, it’s not that calculated.”
“If you’re living, oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you’re living with making those kinds of calculations?” he added. “No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.”
Speaking of his time outside the spotlight, Pitt said, “My personal life is always in the news. It’s been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let’s put it that way.”
