LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brad Pitt, amidst his ongoing legal battle and allegations of past abuse by ex-wife Angelina Jolie, is focusing on moving forward with his work and girlfriend Ines de Ramon, according to a source close to him.
Brad Pitt's 'stressful' legal battle with Angelina Jolie
“The long-drawn drama with Angelina used to really get to him, especially the custody drama and abuse allegations,” the source says.
Pitt, 60, shares six children with Jolie, 48: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.
“It’s been very stressful for him to have to defend over and over again,” the source continued.
“But since things don’t seem to change, he’s trying to move on with his life," People reported.
Pitt and Jolie have faced off over custody and are currently locked in a legal battle over ownership of their French winery Chateau Miraval.

Meanwhile, Pitt is focused on his upcoming Formula 1 racing movie, which he is in the middle of filming.
The source further told the publication that he also “finally feels happy again” with Ines de Ramon, 34, “by his side.”
“Although he’s always been surrounded by trusted friends, he still had years when he felt very lonely,” added the insider. “Sharing his life and living with Ines now makes [him] very happy. Ines is great. She doesn’t come with any baggage and is able to just support him.”

Other friends close to the Academy Award winner “just [want] him to be happy,” the source says. “He’s certainly not perfect. He’ll be the first to tell you. [But] he will continue to push back legally.”
Angelina Jolie's latest court filing alleges Brad Pitt of new abuse
Jolie is claiming in a new legal filing on April 4, 2024, that ex-husband Brad Pitt's abuse "started well before" a highly publicized 2016 incident, in which the actor was allegedly violent toward his then-wife and children while aboard a private jet.
"While Pitt's history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well," said the court documents.
"Jolie then immediately left him," reads a Thursday court filing by Jolie's lawyers.
His legal team is also seeking to release communications about Chateau Miraval as they say would prove Pitt would not let Jolie sell her share of the winery to him unless she agreed to a "more onerous" and "expansive" NDA.
