LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon’s romance appears to be thriving, but there’s one thing noticeably missing from their relationship— business entanglements.

Unlike his former wives, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie, Pitt has decided to keep his financial ventures separate from his current partner, a decision that insiders say is intentional, Radar Online reported.

Brad Pitt might be learning from his past relationships

A source revealed that Brad Pitt is being "super cautious" about involving his girlfriend Ines de Ramon in his business ventures (Plan B, which he originally founded with former wife Jennifer Aniston, and Miraval, the French winery entangled in a legal battle with his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie) despite their relationship going strong.

The source explained Pitt’s reasoning behind this move. "Brad's history is crystal clear. When he's in love with a woman, he gets into business with her, almost instinctually," they said.

The pattern has been evident throughout the 'Bullet Train' star's previous relationships. His marriage to Jolie saw them not only raising a family together but also co-owning the renowned Chateau Miraval winery in France. 

The insider shared that de Ramon is not pushing to be involved in Pitt’s affairs in any formal way, which works well for their dynamic.

Describing their relationship, another source noted, "They're an extremely calm couple and not overly intense or high-strung," making her a refreshing perspective after Pitt’s tumultuous marriage to Jolie.

According to a previous report from Radar Online, de Ramon was even ready to fight Jolie over the legal battle. "She's ready to take the gloves off with Angelina," an insider revealed.

"She's been so patient, and she's made a big effort not to blame Angelina because she didn't want to be the typical girlfriend trash-talking the ex. She's even privately defended her at times when she felt that Brad was being a bit harsh," the insider added.

However, that business partnership has since turned into a legal battlefield, with the former couple locked in a years-long dispute over ownership rights and sales deals.

Reflecting on that tangled history, the insider added, "It's just what Brad does. And when these relationships break up, it causes him a lot of pain, time, and energy to untangle the finances."

Brad Pitt's different approach with Ines de Ramon

Though Brad Pitt may not be putting pen to paper on any business deals with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon, he certainly respects her acumen. De Ramon is a VP at Anita Ko Jewelry, a luxury brand based in Los Angeles.

The source revealed that while the 'Fight Club' actor values her expertise, their exchanges remain casual. "She's an extremely talented designer with very good marketing sense. So he often asks her to weigh in with an opinion, but it's strictly informal," they continued.

This dynamic marks a shift in Pitt’s approach to relationships, seemingly prioritizing emotional connection over professional entanglement.

Despite their solid bond, reports suggest that de Ramon may be feeling uneasy about Pitt’s renewed interactions with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.

Rumors of increasing communication between the former spouses have reportedly sparked insecurity in de Ramon, though neither Pitt nor Aniston has publicly addressed the speculation.

The former couple is taking their long-standing friendship to the next level, as per Newsbreak.

According to sources, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have joined forces for a new project, marking their first major collaboration since their highly publicized divorce.

While details about the project remain under wraps, a source revealed that Pitt is set to play the lead role in Aniston’s upcoming film.

The 'Friends' star has reportedly been keeping the project a secret, and now, the reason is clear. "Brad has actually been pitching ideas to Jen for years now, but she's always resisted," the insider shared.

One major factor was Pitt’s prolonged and contentious divorce from Jolie.

"She didn't want to complicate his divorce from Angelina but was also focused on her own projects," the source explained.

However, with Pitt’s legal battle with Jolie finally coming to an end, the timing seems perfect for this long-awaited collaboration.

"Now his divorce is over, they both could do with a box office win," the insider added, hinting that the duo sees this project as a potential Hollywood comeback.

Even more interestingly, Aniston is said to be particularly drawn to the latest script Pitt’s team has sent over. "Jen really likes the latest script," the source revealed.
