Brad Pitt was arguably the most eligible bachelor on the planet at one point in time. But not any longer.
His relationship with Ines de Ramon has long been known to fans; the two are rumored to have arranged a low-key week to commemorate his milestone 60th birthday.
After ringing in his sixth decade on Monday, Pitt wasn’t inclined to go crazy with the festivities, according to PEOPLE. The fact that he desired to spend time with De Ramon speaks volumes about his dedication to her.
Actor Paul Wesley’s ex-wife De Ramon is reportedly described as “Brad’s first proper relationship since the divorce” from Angelina Jolie by a source who talked with PEOPLE last month.
In fact, it’s reported that the Troy actor began referring to the thirty-two-year-old as his girlfriend.
According to a PEOPLE insider, “He introduces [Ines] as his girlfriend.””Seeing him in a happy place is wonderful. Ines brings him much joy.
Pitt’s journey back to happiness hasn’t been easy; his turbulent divorce from Angelina Jolie left scars that don’t seem to be completely healed.
“You show no regard or compassion for your four youngest children, who shudder in terror when they are around you.
“Because you are incapable of understanding the harm you have caused to my family, you will never be able to comprehend it.
“You have turned those closest to me into a never-ending hell,” the teenager went on.”You can tell the world and yourself anything you want, but eventually the truth will surface.”

My granddaughter was constantly mocked by her classmates because of her braces.
The sun streamed through the kitchen window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. I sat at the table, sipping my tea, when the doorbell chimed. A wave of excitement washed over me. It was Lizzie, my granddaughter, a whirlwind of energy and sunshine.
But today, her smile seemed a little forced, her eyes downcast. “Hi Grandma,” she mumbled, her voice barely a whisper.
My heart sank. I knew something was wrong. Lizzie, usually a chatterbox, was unusually quiet. “What’s wrong, sweetheart?” I asked, pulling her onto my lap.
She shrugged, her shoulders drooping. “Nothing.”
“Come on, darling,” I coaxed. “You can tell me anything.”
After a long pause, she finally admitted, “The kids at school are teasing me again.”
My blood ran cold. “Teasing you about what?”
Lizzie looked down at her feet, her voice barely audible. “My braces… and now my glasses.”
My heart ached. I remembered the cruel taunts I had endured as a child, the feeling of being different, of not fitting in. I couldn’t bear to see my granddaughter go through the same thing.
“Lizzie,” I said, my voice firm, “those kids are just mean. They’re jealous. You are beautiful, inside and out, with or without braces or glasses.”
She looked at me doubtfully. “But everyone else is wearing contacts.”
A mischievous glint entered my eye. “Really? Well, then I guess I need to get some contacts too!”
Lizzie’s eyes widened. “But Grandma, you don’t need glasses!”
I chuckled. “Oh, but I do, darling. I’ve been needing glasses for a while now, but I’ve been too stubborn to admit it.”
And with that, I went to my room and emerged a few minutes later, sporting a pair of stylish, oversized glasses. Lizzie stared at me, her mouth agape.
“Grandma!” she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. “We look like twins!”
She threw her arms around me, hugging me tightly. “Thank you, Grandma,” she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. “You’re the best grandma ever. I love you!”
My heart melted. I had never expected this reaction. I had simply wanted to comfort her, to show her that she wasn’t alone. But seeing her smile, her eyes shining with admiration, filled me with a joy I hadn’t felt in years.
From that day on, Lizzie embraced her glasses. She even started experimenting with different frames, choosing colors and styles that expressed her individuality. The teasing continued, of course, but it no longer had the power to dim her light.
And I, her unlikely accomplice, watched with pride as she blossomed into a confident, beautiful young woman, her glasses becoming a part of her unique identity. I had learned a valuable lesson that day: sometimes, the best way to combat negativity is with a little bit of humor and a whole lot of love.
