The romantic future looks promising for Brad Pitt, but it’s not without its fair share of challenges. Rumors suggest that the A-lister has yet to introduce his children to his new girlfriend, Ines De Ramon.

Last year, reports of Brad and Ines getting together started circulating, and since then, their relationship has progressed significantly. The latest buzz is that they are even considering settling down and starting a family together. However, there is a significant obstacle they need to overcome before such plans can become a reality.

According to a source who spoke to PEOPLE in November last year, Ines De Ramon, the ex-wife of actor Paul Wesley, is described as “Brad’s first proper relationship since the divorce” from Angelina Jolie. Brad has reportedly started introducing the 32-year-old as his girlfriend and is in a happy place with her.

New rumors from Radar Online even claim that Brad is considering marrying jewelry designer Ines, despite being together for less than two years. The report states that Brad wants to proceed with caution due to the financial implications of his divorce from Jolie and ongoing legal fees. Therefore, he insists on having an ironclad prenuptial agreement.

But there’s another reason why Brad hasn’t introduced Ines to all of his children yet—fear of Angelina Jolie’s response. National Enquirer reports that Brad is treading carefully when it comes to introducing his kids to his new girlfriend. He wants to avoid additional tensions with Angie, who not only is the mother of their children but also their best friend. Brad is understandably hesitant about how a meeting between the kids and Ines would play out, and he doesn’t want to rush into introductions.

Brad and Jolie, famously known as ‘Brangelina’ in the media, fell in love on the set of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and captivated the world with their romance. However, in 2016, Jolie filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. She also requested sole custody of their six children – Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne, and Knox.

Since then, Jolie has been frequently seen with the children in public, while Brad hasn’t been photographed with them for a long time. The custody battle between the former couple regarding the younger children is still ongoing, with reports suggesting that Angelina is trying to prolong the case until their twins, Vivienne and Knox, turn 18.
