Hollywood star Brad Pitt‘s busy filming schedule is reportedly putting a strain on his relationship with Ines de Ramon.

The couple has been apart for months as the actor has been tied up with shooting his new movie “Heart of the Beast” in New Zealand, which is still weeks away from wrapping up.

Despite Brad Pitt having tried to fly his girlfriend to the country for visits and showering her with gifts, he is said to be “struggling to keep the love alive.”

For months, Pitt’s work schedule has forced him to be away from his girlfriend, de Ramon.

The actor is currently filming an action-adventure film in New Zealand, while de Ramon has remained back in Los Angeles, where she works as vice president of a jewelry brand, Anita Ko.

Reports are now claiming that the distance has been difficult for their nearly three-year relationship.

“He is struggling to keep the love alive,” an insider informed the Daily Mail. “He is doing everything he can to keep Ines happy. That means he is flying her to New Zealand to visit and showering her with special surprises and gifts.

According to the source, Pitt is keen on going the extra mile to satisfy de Ramon because “he is really in love with her and wants to keep the relationship as solid as can be.”

The insider also noted that Ramon feels the same about the 61-year-old Hollywood star. “They are very much in love and happy to be in a healthy relationship,” the source added.

Pitt and de Ramon were first linked in 2022 after being introduced by a mutual friend.

However, their relationship remained speculation until they were spotted at a concert in Los Angeles in November 2022.

That same year, they appeared at the premiere of Pitt’s film “Babylon,” although they did not walk the red carpet together.

The couple reached that milestone in September 2024 when they appeared at the Venice International Film Festival for the premiere of Pitt’s film, “Wolfs.”

Their relationship has continued to grow from strength to strength, which is believed to be partly due to de Ramon not being associated with Hollywood.

“Brad loves being with a woman who is not an actress because there is no competition at all, they have their own careers, and there is zero jealousy,” the insider further remarked.

Amid their relationship, Pitt and de Ramon have spent more than a year living together in his $8.3 million mansion in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Beyond strengthening their relationship, moving in together has encouraged them both to socialize more with their friends.

A source previously informed OK! Magazinethat the duo “love throwing big dinner parties together with a whole mix of friends that Brad knows through the art world, along with his old pals like Flea and his wife Melody, Ed Norton and his wife Shauna, and Quentin Tarantino and his wife Daniella.”

Similarly, de Ramon invites her own “big group of friends,” consisting of individuals she got to know in the fashion world. During these parties, de Ramon reportedly portrays a “natural” host and demonstrates several other qualities that have made Pitt’s friends believe she is the right woman for him.

“She’s very easygoing and low-maintenance; there’s never any drama. It’s clear to Brad’s friends that she’s a good fit for him and his life,” the insider told the outlet.

Sources close to Pitt told People Magazine that he is “happy” in his relationship with de Ramon, especially after the finalization of his divorce from Angelina Jolie.

“Brad Pitt is happy that the divorce is behind him,” an insider shared with the news outlet. “Things are low-key for the family.”

The actor is now focusing on the future, personally and romantically, by embracing a new chapter in his life.

According to insiders, his relationship with de Ramon has continued to wax stronger.

“They’re in a great place,” the source noted. “Life’s good, no complaints.”

For now, Pitt and de Ramon appear satisfied with being lovers in a committed relationship. However, an engagement is a possibility, given that Pitt has officially settled his divorce from Jolie.

The actor and his “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” co-star had been involved in more than eight years of intense legal battles over a number of issues that originated when Jolie filed for divorce in 2016.

This includes a custody battle over their kids and the Château Miraval, a vineyard they purchased in the south of France.

The divorce was finalized on December 30, 2024, although the details of the settlement remain unclear.
