As one might expect, Pitt’s new love is being treated with both a balance of forward thinking and an introspection on his past. At least, that’s what ET’s source seems to be hinting at in the following rundown:Brad and Ines are doing well in their relationship. Brad is happy to have her by his side and is focused on the future. He’s trying not to let any worries or issues from the past get to him and appreciates how much he has grown as a person and wants to continue to do so.

This is encouraging news for those following this budding relationship, which recently took the huge step of Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon moving in together. There’s even talk of Pitt’s daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt looking to move in with her father, which is apparently something Brad is ecstatic about.

It seems like a raft of better news has headed his way, despite the outstanding issues stemming the prolonged divorce proceedings with Angelina Jolie. One such issue that seems to be keeping the battle raging in the courts is a contentious winery that Jolie co-owns with Pitt. As an asset that might literally see the Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-stars fighting to the last dollar, the property has stuck out as a major point of order in the divorce proceedings for quite some time.

Brad Pitt’s past is still very much in play in his present, and the eventual settlement of these legal issues represent a potential end to that chapter of his life. Maybe these new steps he’s taken with Ines de Ramon are a symbol that he really is making peace with those rough seas, with the intent to settle those final steps as quickly and as fairly as possible.

Obviously the world will be watching to see how the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie divorce shakes out. Though it’s not a pleasant occasion, all anyone can really hope for is that both parties can resolve their differences and move on with the next chapter of their respective lives.

While we’re not certain when or how that will come to pass, we do know that Pitt’s next film Wolfs will be in theaters on September 20th. Also, that title will eventually become an Apple TV+ subscription driver, continuing the relationship between that streaming provider and Sony’s theatrical distribution arm.
