Well—if it isn’t Brad Pitt enjoying a romantic summer retreat at Chateau Miraval, the very same French estate where he once exchanged vows with Angelina Jolie and he’s decided to bring his new lady, Ines de Ramon.
When the Fight Club actor isn’t playing host at his French estate, he’s been spotted zipping around Europe like a bachelor on a mission. He stopped in Lake Como to visit George and Amal Clooney and motorcycled through Iceland like a man in search of a midlife crisis. But don’t worry—he’s found plenty of time to cozy up with Ines at the chateau, making sure their romance blossoms in the very vineyards that witnessed the rise and fall of Brangelina.
So who owns the chateau? Well, Angelina sold her stake in the estate in October 2021, sparking a fury in Brad that’s still playing out in court. According to Pitt, there was a “no-sale” agreement that Angelina conveniently ignored when she sold her portion to Tenute del Mondo, a subsidiary of the Stoli Group. And now, like a vintage wine gone sour, their court battles continue to age—but not in a good way.
As if a contentious legal fight over a chateau wasn’t enough, Brad’s relationship with his and Angelina’s six children has also been hitting some rough patches. According to insiders, the once-doting dad now has “virtually no contact” with his adult children. Zahara, Shiloh, and Vivienne have even gone so far as to drop his last name. One insider told People magazine that Brad’s engagement with his younger kids has also been limited recently, thanks to his busy filming schedule.
And what’s a celebrity scandal without the court of public opinion? Fans have taken to social media to voice their thoughts on Brad’s summer activities, and let’s just say the reactions are mixed. One fan commented, “It would be bigger news if he was spending the time rebuilding his relationship with his adult kids.”
Another fan wasn’t so kind about Brad’s new girlfriend, writing, “Angelina was beautiful around the time they filmed Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Stunningly beautiful. This Ines de Ramon lady not so much and she really needs a bra.”
One user even pointed out, “Angie turned out like her mother, just like her in fact as Apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Angie’s Dad John Voight was Brad Pitt 1.0. Her mom was bitter and vengeful, history is now repeating itself.” Looks like the Pitt-Jolie saga is destined to be a multi-generational epic.
