Brad Pitt’s girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, encouraged him to finally resolve his nearly decade-long divorce battle with Angelina Jolie, enabling them to move forward with their lives together, according to sources who spoke to Page Six.
“Ines influenced him to ultimately settle,” the insider revealed. “She desires to build a life together — potentially with children in the future — without the burden that was the eight-year War of the Roses.”

“She has made it clear that, in her opinion, life would be much more enjoyable with this resolved,” the source added.
Jolie filed for dissolution of marriage on September 19, 2016, and the high-profile couple has been embroiled in a bitter custody battle and other disputes ever since.
However, the endless, intricate legal war over their French winery, Chateau Miraval, is still ongoing.
They were both declared legally single in 2019, and finally signed divorce papers on Monday.
Another source informed us, “Ines has a positive influence on Brad. She has a really good perspective on things. It’s unfortunate how this entire situation has unfolded, but at least this is progress in the right direction.”
They also stated to us that when it came to signing, “Both parties realized it was time to move on. It was mutually beneficial to get it done.”
“He was influenced by Ines to finally settle,” says the insider. “Ines wants to have a life together — with possibly children in the future — without the albatross that was the eight-year War of the Roses.”
Jewelry designer De Ramon, 31, and Pitt, 60, first sparked dating rumors in November 2022 and made their first official red carpet debut nearly two years later at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
A source previously told Page Six that the “Fight Club” star is “so grateful” to have a strong woman like de Ramon by his side, “who not only supports him but isn’t fazed by being in the public eye or all of the issues surrounding Brad’s legal drama.”
The source stated that Ramon “doesn’t let any of those issues come between them or put any type of strain on their relationship.”

She’s somewhat used to a relationship in the spotlight, since she was previously wed to “Vampire Diaries” star Paul Wesley.
Before Jolie, Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston.
Jolie’s lawyer James Simon told People yesterday, “More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family. This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.”
