Brad Pitt's girlfriend's failed marriage to famous ex explored — what happened?

At 60 years old, Brad Pitt has found love with a woman half his age.

The Hollywood star and Ines de Ramon , 31, have been dating under the radar for months but made their red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival 2024.

While Brad's prior marriages to Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie have been highly publicized, many fans don't realize Ines also has a complex romantic past and a famous ex-husband.

One month later, they tied the knot in Montauk with a beautiful wedding attended by many of his co-stars, including Nina Dobrev and Jessica Szohr.

He confirmed the marriage in February 2019 and Nina also referred to Ines as Paul's wife during a podcast appearance.

Shortlived marriage

Ines appears to favour a life away from the spotlight, despite dating people firmly in it. During her marriage to Paul, the couple kept a low profile but couldn't make their relationship work.

They parted ways in September 2022 after three years of marriage.

Divorce settlement

At the time of their filing in February 2023, a rep told People: "The decision to separate is mutual and occurred five months ago. They request privacy at this time,”

Their divorce seemed remarkably amicable with a note included in the filing describing their settlement.

It said that both "parties have entered into a written agreement regarding their property and their marriage or domestic partnership rights, including support, the original of which is being or has been submitted to the court."

Paul waived any future spousal or partner support payments.
