Brad Pitt is approaching this holiday season with a more subdued tone, opting for a quiet and intimate Thanksgiving alongside his girlfriend of three years, jewelry executive Ines de Ramon. Insiders reveal that the couple, who have been living together since earlier this year, are set to celebrate in a low-key manner compared to their glamorous public appearances over the recent months.
Despite facing personal challenges, including a summer home burglary and ongoing legal disputes with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie concerning their French winery, Château Miraval, Pitt appears to be prioritizing a peaceful holiday atmosphere. One source remarked on the couple’s preference for simplicity, stating, “They like keeping things low-key and creating intimate traditions.” Last year’s Thanksgiving was a quiet affair filled with good food, and this year’s celebration is expected to follow a similar theme.
This holiday season comes with its own emotional weight for Pitt, having lost his mother, Jane Pitt, in August at the age of 84—a loss that has been described by friends as “heartbreaking.” Sources note that while he grieves, he feels immense gratitude for Ines, who has been an unwavering support during this time. Friends share that she has formed a close bond with Pitt’s family and reached out to express her condolences following his mother’s passing.
Although the couple has maintained a more private lifestyle, they were recently spotted at a public event supporting George Clooney at the premiere of ‘Jay Kelly.’ Witnesses described the couple as “very touchy-feely” and noted Pitt looked delighted to celebrate with friends. While their public appearances are limited, de Ramon played a significant role during Pitt’s promotional efforts for his hit Formula One racing film, which achieved a remarkable $144 million in international box office sales.
Professionally, Pitt’s momentum remains strong as he dives into new projects, including a sequel to his acclaimed film ‘Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.’ Sources from the set have shared that he is deeply involved and enthusiastic about his work, showing up early and committed to the creative process.
In a world often overshadowed by challenges, Pitt and de Ramon’s relationship continues to blossom, marked by love and a shared commitment to each other. As they prepare for a low-key Thanksgiving, it is a moment for reflection and gratitude amidst a year of ups and downs.
