Brad Pitt, who has been dating jewelry designer Ines De Ramon since 2022, is reportedly closing the door on marriage—citing his “no” after the disastrous divorce from Angelina Jolie—while also drawing fresh scrutiny over his absence from Zahara’s Spelman Colle
Brad Pitt doesn’t seem interested in taking the next step—at least not where marriage is concerned.
After the long. bruising divorce from Angelina Jolie. the Bullet Train actor is reportedly sticking with a firm “no” to ever saying “I do” again. The shift is being framed as a personal boundary, not a romantic mystery. On Friday. an insider told DailyMail.com that even though Pitt has been dating jewelry designer Ines De Ramon since 2022. his friends don’t see much chance the relationship ever moves beyond boyfriend-and-girlfriend.
The same insider said Pitt appreciates the “peace” and “support” De Ramon brings. describing her as “easygoing.” But when it comes to a ring—or more children—everything points to waiting. or never. For now. the insider’s message is blunt: “He has a great partner who he appreciates but there is no rush in that direction.”.
At 62, Pitt’s approach is being connected to the emotional fallout still shaping his life. Another detail fueling that narrative came this week when his absence from 21-year-old daughter Zahara’s graduation at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia drew attention.
On Tuesday. sources told TMZ Angelina that Zahara and all of her siblings were present and “cheering her and her Spelman sisters on” during the ceremony. while Pitt was completely MIA. The criticism wasn’t that the day belonged to someone else—it was that Pitt didn’t show up at all. One of the statements shared was: “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 added that Pitt passed on inquiring about the ceremony because he believed any attempt to reach out would be unwelcome. An insider then pushed back against the idea that both sides are equally at fault. telling 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.”.
Page Six also quoted a source describing the criticism as unfair to Zahara’s celebration: “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.”
The tension doesn’t stop at one graduation. In recent years, multiple of Pitt and Jolie’s six children—Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, Shiloh, 19, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 17—have distanced themselves from the F1 actor and dropped his last name since the Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-stars’ split.
An insider tied that shift to Jolie’s actions, saying: “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.”
So even as Pitt’s dating life continues with De Ramon. the reported message is that he’s not chasing marriage—and he’s not signaling a quick path back to a unified family dynamic. The insider’s framing suggests Pitt is choosing stability in the relationship he has now. with the rest of the story still living in the complicated space left behind by the divorce.
There are also mentions that, in the past, reports suggested Pitt remained hopeful for reconciliation with his kids someday. But for now, the accounts surrounding him point to a man who’s accepting what is—and who doesn’t see a wedding timeline in his future.
