As his new relationship takes off, Brad Pitt remains acutely aware of the need to safeguard his $400 million net worth.
You might be surprised to learn that Brad Pitt turned 60 on December 18. He celebrated the occasion with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, who is half his age, at Los Angeles’ Mother Wolf restaurant. As a result, it would be fair to say that he is content with his love life. And they are ready to take their relationship to the next level. If they decide to get married, the actor reportedly hopes that his new partner will consent to signing a prenuptial agreement.
Well, signing a prenuptial agreement is not an issue for de Ramon because she is aware of the losses Pitt has suffered due to his legal disputes with his ex- wife, Angelina Jolie. The jewelry designer, according to the insider, is happy to be Pitt’s “third wife” and does not mind if the actor wishes to protect his wealth before they begin a new chapter in their lives.
Brad Pitt Wants To Marry For The Third Time, But On One Condition
The split between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has garnered more media attention than any other celebrity divorce. The epic legal battle has resulted in significant financial losses for the former, whose estimated net worth is $400 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. But it appears he has found comfort and support in Ines de Ramon, his new girlfriend.
Pitt has wisely taken a proactive stance by making sure that a prenuptial agreement is in place, realizing the significance of safeguarding his hard-earned wealth. According to a source who spoke with the National Enquirer (via Radar Online),
“Brad is head-over-heels in love with Ines and wants to marry her.”
The source did mention, however, that the Ocean’s Eleven star is wary of marriage following his unpleasant legal battle with the Maleficent actress. The insider revealed:
“He isn’t taking any chances this time. Brad is going to insist that Ines sign a rock-solid prenup to protect as much as $650 million in his assets and future holdings. Negotiations have been excruciating and the legal fees have been astronomical. Brad has put up with character assassinations and has been alienated from his kids.”
In case you missed it, Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on September 19, 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. The court ruled the former couple to be lawfully single on April 12, 2019. Although Ines “was not there from the beginning, she’s seen the toll the divorce has taken on him and has been very supportive”, the source said.
Brad, on the other hand, “could not survive another divorce like that”. According to an insider, “These have been the worst years of his life.”
Brad does not “foresee any problems with Ines,” but his business team would not allow him to get married again without taking certain safety measures, according to the source. The actor started dating the jewelry designer in 2022.

Inside Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie’s Dark Relationship
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got to know one another while filming the 2003 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith as husband and wife. The ex-couple, who are parents to six children together, experienced both good and bad times. Citing irreconcilable differences, Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on September 19, 2016 (per PEOPLE).
The actress revealed in an interview with Parade in 2018 that she and Pitt never work on multiple projects at once to ensure one of them is always available for their six kids:
“He takes the kids to school; he visits me on set with the kids. I’m home for dinner, or I’m there for breakfast. We’re together all the time. We plan.”
Meanwhile, according to CBS News (via PEOPLE), Pitt and Jolie were under “a lot of pressure from the kids” to get married. They married in a formal Los Angeles wedding on August 14, 2014, and were legally divorced on April 12, 2019.

The division of their assets and child custody had been the subject of continuous discussions between Pitt and Jolie over the past few years. The focal point of the ex-couple’s legal disputes has been their previous business endeavors.
And with time, the legal battle drama grew increasingly complex. A NewsNation article from last year claims that Pitt has allegedly spent more than $14 million suing Jolie in court since their breakup. Thus, by ensuring that Ines de Ramon approves of a prenuptial agreement, he acts with both foresight and caution.
