The world fell silent when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston parted ways. Fans were as eager and excited to see how the on-screen romance between the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star and actress Angelina Jolie would play out in real life as they were heartbroken over the failed romance.
Brad and Angelina eventually started dating.
Unfortunately, years later, Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016, just after reports surfaced about an alleged incident involving Pitt and the couple’s eldest son, Maddox, on the family’s private jet.
The FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Child and Family Services looked into the alleged child abuse, but no one knows the truth. According to US Weekly, Pitt was almost immediately exonerated of any child abuse charges.
Pitt and Jolie’s divorce and protracted custody dispute are regarded as some of the most heinous celebrity couple divorces in recent memory.
Jolie sent her ex-husband an email on January 21, 2021, and that email was made public. She writes about her decision to sell Miraval, “a business that is centered around alcohol,” to Pitt “with a heavy heart,” according to her. It is widely assumed that this alludes to the plane incident where Pitt allegedly choked Maddox before dousing her and the kids in alcohol.
“Even now, it’s impossible to write this without crying,” the Maleficent actress continued.
It is, above all, the location where we brought the twins home and where we were married in front of a plaque honoring my mother. A place where I believed I would age. However, it is also the location where our family’s demise begins.
“Everything I have seen in the years since has tragically confirmed that Miraval died in September 2016,” she added.
Pitt agreed to buy Jolie’s share of Miraval in February 2021 for $54.5 million. However, their ongoing divorce proceedings had an impact on the business deal.
Pitt asked Jolie to sign an NDA that forbade her from “discussing outside of court any of Pitt’s personal conduct toward her or the family” in order to sell the property after she turned in sealed documents that contained details about the plane incident.
The request was called a “unconscionable gag order” by Jolie.
Pitt wanted to “ensure the seller doesn’t damage the value of the asset after being paid for it,” so he presented his request as essential to the sale.
On October 5, 2021, Tenute del Mondo, the wine division of the Stoli group owned by Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler, paid $67 million to Jolie Nouvel, the holding company that owned her share of Miraval.
A source close to Pitt told ET Online, “It is not a coincidence that she sold her interest in Miraval to an adversarial party, and part of the family home to a stranger, right after a judge granted Brad a huge win: 50-50 custody.” A panel of three judges later removed John Ouderkirk, the judge who had granted Pitt joint custody, and vacated his decision.
Pitt sued his ex, her holding company, and the new Miraval owners in February 2022, alleging that Jolie had “contributed nothing to Miraval’s success.” Stoli filed a cross-complaint, alleging that Pitt and his associates had harmed Nouvel by devaluing its investments and denying it its rightful place in overseeing Chateau Miraval, the renowned rosé wine producer.
On June 1, 2023, Pitt filed an amended complaint to have Jolie’s Nouvel sale revoked.
Pitt’s attorney, Anne Kiley, stated, “Brad has owned everything he’s responsible for from day one, but he’s not going to own anything he didn’t do.”
Pitt has moved on and is currently seeing someone else after the commotion surrounding their divorce.
Brad chooses his partners carefully and purposefully. According to a source, he prefers to take his time and let things develop organically.
Ines de Ramon, the former wife of Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley, is rumored to be Pitt’s new girlfriend. The couple is “happy being low-key,” according to those close to them.
“Brad and Ines continue to hang out and enjoy each other.” They share similar interests and take pleasure in each other’s company. They both enjoy traveling, being modest, and being creative. Brad isn’t hurrying anything, but their relationship is going well,” the source explained.
The pair was seen together in December 2022, according to Entertainment Tonight. According to a source at the time, “it is still new, but they are seeing where things go and like each other.” “They’re enjoying themselves together.”
Together, they were on vacation in Mexico.
Although it’s unclear if he introduced her to his kids, those close to him claim that she’s present when he talks to them.
It’s unclear if Ines’s charm necklace, which features the letter B hanging on it, is a tribute to her new partner.
