A ‘relieved’ Brad Pitt wants to remarry his 32-year-old new love in 2025 after his divorce battle with Angelina Jolie was settled just before New Year’s Eve, insiders told MailOnline today.
Ms Jolie’s lawyer has said his client has been left ‘exhausted’ by the eight-year battle – but her ex-partner is just as tired as he believes she has ‘dragged on for a long time’.
The Hollywood stars officially signed their divorce papers on Monday in a feud that started in 2016.
Despite the heartbreak of being estranged from at least three of their six children, Brad has found love with Los Angeles jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, who may even be planning to start a family of her own.
A Hollywood insider with links to Team Pitt told MailOnline today: ‘They want to get married next year and Brad has reached a settlement because he wants to keep his children on side so his new marriage can go ahead.
‘Apparently Ines also wants children and she has put pressure on him to get everything in order as quickly as possible.’
Brad and Ines started dating almost two years ago and later moved in together. He is said to have introduced her to his close circle, which also includes his best friend George Clooney.

“Brad will be relieved that he can finally move on and get married again. He has wanted his divorce to be settled for a long time, but he believes Angelina is dragging her feet,” another LA insider told MailOnline.
“Angelina will claim she fought for the best deal for their family, but whatever the truth is, it ultimately paves the way for him as he walks down the aisle with Ines.”
The source added: “He will hope he can build bridges with his children now that the divorce is finalized, but that seems like a long, hard road.”
Ines is said to have made it crystal clear to her friends, family and work contacts that her relationship with Brad is now so serious that there is no longer any discussion about it.
The entrepreneur even demanded that her business contacts, who work with her in the jewelry business, sign a non-disclosure agreement to ensure that no details about her personal life leak to the press.
Ines is reportedly taking these precautions to avoid giving the actor the impression that she is using their relationship to gain fame – and to reassure him about how seriously she takes their privacy.
Brad and Ines live together in the LA area, but the exact location is closely guarded.
Last month, a source made it crystal clear that he is serious about her – and wants to get married again if Angelina’s divorce goes through.
‘Brad is interested in getting married again, and it’s all thanks to Ines, the insider said.
“He’s so comfortable with her that it just feels right to her, and he’d like to make it official.”
The source noted that Ines has the seal of approval from Brad’s inner circle.
‘He has spoken to those close to him, including George, and everyone has agreed that he would do this. It would be nice for him since it would be the official putting his romantic past with (Jennifer Aniston) and Angie behind him. the source continued.
‘That’s clearly on everyone’s mind and will forever be on the minds of millions, but it’s Ines and her no-nonsense nature that has ultimately been the person to settle down with.
The source predicted that an engagement will likely happen in the new year as they said, “It’s time and 2025 will be the time he gets engaged to her.”
After eight years, the ‘Brangelina’ divorce saga is over and dusted.
Ms. Jolie’s divorce lawyer James Simon told DailyMail.com that his client, 49, is “relieved that this one part is over.”
“Honestly, Angelina is exhausted,” he said.
‘More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left behind all the assets they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family,” Mr. Simon added.
The former couple, best known as “Brangelina,” share three biological children — Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 — as well as their adopted children Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, and Zahara, 19.
Since their parents’ bitter split, Zahara, Shiloh and Vivienne have all dropped Pitt from their last names. It has been reported that Maddox and Pax are not speaking to their father, while it is believed that Knox and Vivienne are still talking to the Fight Club star, despite not having been photographed with him in several years.
While the former power couple have finally settled their divorce, there is still an ongoing battle over France’s Château Miraval vineyard, considered one of the country’s top wine producers.
Pitt, 61, and Jolie are locked in a bitter legal battle over Miraval after Pitt claimed Jolie sold her $62 million stake in the winery without his approval to the Stoli Group, famous for its Stolichnaya vodka.
Despite the breakthrough in the divorce, the dispute over Château Miraval continues. Both sides have said they would be willing to take the Miraval case to a jury trial or mediation, a source told DailyMail.com.

A source with knowledge of the situation added that Jolie “has done his best to be light after a dark time.”
“She doesn’t speak badly about him either publicly or privately,” the insider said.
‘The children have grown up knowing that some people have so much power and privilege that their voice does not matter. Their pain doesn’t count.
“They have wanted her to stand up and defend herself over the years, but she reminds them that they need to focus on changing laws rather than telling public stories.”
A spokesperson for Brad Pitt declined to comment Monday evening.
Jolie filed to end the marriage in September 2016, just two years after they tied the knot. They dated for ten years before deciding to get married.
It has since been alleged that the couple and their six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox, took a private plane on which Pitt was physically abused days prior to her filing.
Jolie claimed in court filings that Pitt’s “history of physical abuse” began “well before” the plane incident. The Maleficent actress also said her ex tried to force her to sign an $8.5 million non-disclosure agreement to cover up his “years of abuse.”
Pitt has always denied the abuse claims and was cleared by police after an investigation.
An insider told DailyMail.com ‘she could have pressed charges against him.’
A source recently explained, “Brad does want to get married again. He just wants it to be over.”

‘She could have told the world what happened, but she didn’t. All she wanted was for their children to have the support they needed to heal.
“Pitt successfully used his power and privilege to cover up his behavior at the expense of his family and even tried to portray her as the reason why his relationship with the children is so challenging.”
In court papers, Pitt’s lawyers claimed that it was Jolie who sabotaged the children’s relationship with the actor.
They alleged that former bodyguards who worked for the family Jolie “encouraged” the children not to spend time with their father during custody visits.
Despite the ongoing legal battle, Jolie and Pitt were deemed legally single in 2019.
Pitt, now 61, has been dating Los Angeles-based jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, 32, for almost two years.
Pitt’s team declined to comment on the divorce settlement.
Brad and Ines initially spent time together at a Bono concert in November 2022.
The two live together, it is claimed.
Brad is said to be determined to resolve all his legal issues with his ex-wife, and Ines is ready to support him through the ongoing battle amid rumors they are getting married.

“The thing about her is he’s so comfortable with her that it just feels right with her, and he’d like to make it official.”
