A Look Back at Brad and Jennifer’s Iconic Relationship
Pitt and Aniston were once Hollywood’s golden couple. They first met on a blind dinner date in 1998, and their relationship remained under wraps for months before they made it public.

In July 2000, they tied the knot in a lavish Malibu ceremony that featured 200 guests, 50,000 flowers, multiple bands, and even fireworks. It was the epitome of a Hollywood fairytale. However, by 2005, that fairytale came to an end.

In December 2022, Pitt brought de Ramon to the premiere of his film “Babylon” in Los Angeles. The couple appeared comfortable with one another as they mingled with guests, even sharing a few affectionate embraces.
By early 2023, the two were seen enjoying a vacation together in Cabo, Mexico, where they were photographed sunbathing by the pool. Pitt was seen shirtless while de Ramon sunbathed without her bikini top—a moment that quickly made headlines.
In February 2023, the pair were spotted dining together at the renowned Fouquet’s restaurant on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, where a news outlet captured them on video.
The couple continued to make headlines throughout the year. In November 2023, they attended LACMA’s 12th annual Art+Film Gala in Los Angeles. According to a source at the event, Pitt and de Ramon were “super loving” towards each other and seemed to enjoy their time together.
Their relationship appeared to be growing stronger, and they celebrated Pitt’s 60th birthday with a romantic getaway in Paris, staying at the luxurious Bulgari Hotel. As their relationship became more public, it was clear that de Ramon was becoming a regular part of Pitt’s life.
The couple’s most recent appearance, at the Venice International Film Festival in September 2024, further solidified their relationship in the public’s eyes.

The Dress That Sparked the Debate
During the 81st Venice International Film Festival in September 2024, de Ramon stunned in a sleek white one-shoulder dress. But to many fans, the dress bore an uncanny resemblance to the one Aniston wore at the 2020 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Aniston’s dress from the SAG Awards was a showstopper—an elegant white satin gown that perfectly captured her style. When fans spotted de Ramon in a similar silhouette, the internet quickly drew comparisons.

Who Is Ines de Ramon?
Before becoming linked to Pitt, Ramon was married to actor Paul Wesley, best known for his role in “The Vampire Diaries.” The couple began dating in 2018, and their relationship became Instagram official shortly after.

They married in 2019, but by September 2022, they had officially separated. A representative for the couple confirmed the split, noting that they had been living apart for several months. The quiet end of their three-year marriage attracted attention, but de Ramon largely kept a low profile during this period.

Following her divorce from Wesley, de Ramon shifted her focus back to her career. A jewelry professional, she is currently the Vice President at Anita Ko Jewelry, a luxury brand that has attracted a celebrity clientele. Despite her professional accomplishments, it was her burgeoning relationship with Pitt that thrust her back into the limelight.

As de Ramon moved on from her past with Wesley, her involvement with Pitt brought renewed public interest—and it hasn’t been without its fair share of comparisons, particularly to Pitt’s previous relationships.
