Brad Pitt and his girlfriend Ines de Ramon spotted spending time at his French Winery

Brad Pitt and his girlfriend Ines de Ramon are spending their summer together at his French estate, Chateau Miraval. The sprawling vineyard has been at the centre of a bitter legal dispute between Pitt and his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie.

While Pitt has been seen visiting friends like George Clooney and his wife Amal in Lake Como, Italy, and taking a motorcycle trip in Iceland, he’s also been filming his upcoming car racing movie, F1. Despite his busy schedule, reports suggest that he has taken out some time to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of his French retreat with de Ramon.

Pitt and de Ramon, who were first linked in November 2022, have kept their relationship mostly out of the public eye. Some speculate that Pitt prefers to keep a low profile to avoid further tension with Jolie, especially given their ongoing legal battles. The couple has only made a few public appearances together.

The legal fight over Chateau Miraval, a 1,800-acre vineyard where Pitt and Jolie married in 2014, has been particularly contentious. Pitt claims he gifted Jolie half of the winery as a wedding present, with the understanding that if she ever decided to sell her share, she would offer it to him first. Jolie, however, sold her stake to a third party, prompting Pitt to allege that she violated their agreement.

Amidst these legal disputes, sources close to Pitt told Page Six that he is simply a private person who prefers to keep his personal life away from the public eye. One insider was quoted as saying, "He is living his life. Angelina has already done the worst thing she can do, which is separating the kids from their father."

Pitt and Jolie share six children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15. Reports indicate that Pitt has "virtually no contact" with his older children and "limited visits" with his younger ones, largely due to his demanding filming schedule.

Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, and the ex-couple has been embroiled in legal battles ever since, with ongoing disputes over custody and finances. Their divorce remains unresolved, although both are legally single. The tension between them is so intense that the Venice Film Festival, where both have films premiering, took special measures to ensure they wouldn’t accidentally run into each other.

Ines de Ramon was previously married to Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley, with their divorce finalised earlier this year.
