What about Brad Pitt's girlfriend and The Vampire Diaries?

Ines de Ramon. Maybe you need to let her name sink in for a moment, but believe me: soon everyone will know who she is. Especially now that she is parading hand in hand with Brad Pitt through Hollywood and was recently spotted during a dinner with Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper. Brad and Bradley at the table – at the Pitt-de Ramon household, just an ordinary night out. What many people don't know is that Ines was previously married to actor Paul Wesley. That's right, the Paul who became globally known as Stefan Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries. The series that my colleague Lysanne has scoured every channel to watch. Well, one of the main actors from the vampire series full of blood, drama, and supernatural romance, that's Ines's ex. She was even married to Stefan himself.

From vampire woman to Pitt's partner

Ines and Paul married in 2019 and kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight – just as Ines prefers it. No red carpet marathons or dramatic Instagram statements during the divorce in 2022. Just: classy, quietly, moving on. Indeed, diametrically opposed to the million-consuming lawyer circus of Brad and Angelina. And then, suddenly, she appeared at the side of Brad Pitt. The two met at a private party of mutual friends in L.A. and as it goes in Hollywood: one evening, a good conversation, and before you know it – well, they've been together for a while now, but still – you're sitting at the table with Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper.

Age difference? In Hollywood, that's a minor detail

They are clearly in love, and that age difference of nearly thirty years seems to be no issue at all. Brad is 61, Ines is in her early 30s. But when you see them together – her in minimalist chic, him in his casual cool – you just feel that it fits. It's not just an aesthetic picture; it also feels like two people who know what they want and have coincidentally found each other in that. And Brad is, of course, particularly young at heart.

What does Ines actually do?

Unlike her famous ex and renowned boyfriend, Ines is not an actress. She works as a producer and content strategist and has a background in the jewelry industry. You could say she is used to shining behind the scenes. Think: coming up with campaigns, telling digital stories, and meanwhile having a wardrobe that many fashion influencers would envy.

She also speaks three languages, lives partly in Europe, has a love for understated luxury, and seems to fit perfectly with Brad in terms of energy. She is anything but a bombastic presence – rather stylish and balanced. The definition of chic without fuss.

And what about Brad's kids?

Always a sensitive topic for stars with a blended family, but according to insiders, there is quite a bit of peace. As far as you can speak of peace, of course, because the relationship between Brad and his children is still quite fragile. Zahara, Vivienne, and Shilo have had their father's name removed from their passports, and Pax called Brad on Instagram – on Father's Day, by the way, interesting detail – a ‘world-class jerk’. Brad has indicated that he wants children with Ines, and hopefully, that brings peace to the complex situation, and who knows, they might someday sit at a long table at their wine estate Miraval with the whole modern family. Who knows.

So: what does Brad Pitt's girlfriend have to do with The Vampire Diaries?

Well, besides the fact that she was once married to Stefan Salvatore and thus probably The Vampire Diaries watches with real-life flashbacks like no one else, especially this: she has effortlessly moved from the vampire world to the world of Hollywood's golden boys. And she seems to feel suspiciously comfortable in it.

Brad and Ines still keep it private – no joint interviews, no Instagram parades, just love in the classic way. And that perhaps makes it all the more intriguing.
