Marriage is a thing of the past for Brad Pitt.
In the wake of his divorce from Angelina Jolie — which seemed endless for a good while there — the Bullet Train actor is reportedly closing the door on the possibility of ever saying “I do” again. On Friday, an insider spoke to the DailyMail.com and revealed that despite dating ritzy, well-connected jewelry designer Ines De Ramon since 2022, his friends see little chances they’ll ever become anything beyond boyfriend and girlfriend.
According to the insider, marriage is a firm “no.” for Brad after his disastrous split from Angie… However, he’s said to thoroughly enjoy the “peace” and “support” his “easygoing” girlfriend Ines brings to the table. But another ring — or more children — can pretty much be rules out for the 62-year-old. At least not anytime soon. The insider dished:
“He has a great partner who he appreciates but there is no rush in that direction.”

Elsewhere, the source touched on Brad’s recent absence from 21-year-old daughter Zahara’s graduation from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia. On Tuesday, sources told TMZ Angelina, as well as all of Zahara’s siblings “were present and cheering her and her Spelman sisters on” at the milestone ceremony, but that Brad was completely MIA:
“Nothing prevented him from showing up for her. Or ever visiting her. The day was about all she accomplished. Not whether he was willing to attend.”
A source further told the outlet the Troy star passed on inquiring about the ceremony because he felt any attempts to do so would be unwelcome. And now, the insider dished more to DM:
“You can’t have it both ways — to promote a complete estrangement and then criticize someone for not going to an event when you’ve made sure that they would not be welcome. That’s not a situation which he created.”
A source told Page Six of the situation:
“It’s a shame people feel the need to cast a shadow over this celebration by taking a dig at a father who has already been separated from his family.”
As we’ve been following for several years, multiple of his and Angie’s six kids, including Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, Shiloh, 19, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 17, have distanced themselves from the F1 actor and even dropped his last name in the years since the Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-stars’ split. The insider added:
“There has been a campaign of alienation [by Jolie] which has been successful. The antagonism is huge. He has been alienated from the kids completely. It is devastating to him.”
In the past, reports have suggested Brad is hopeful for a reconciliation with his kids someday… but it the meantime, it sounds like he’s content with his current relationship dynamics.
