Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon Are 'Making Plans for the Future': 'They Have Something Special' (Exclusive Source)

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon have their sights set on a future together.

A source close to the actor, 60, tells PEOPLE he and de Ramon "are serious about their relationship and making plans for the future."

"It started out as a fun and casual relationship, but after moving in together, they realized that they have something special," the source says of the couple, who began living together around February.

Work has brought him joy as well, says the source of Pitt, who's been busy filming the Formula 1 film F1 this year. "He's grateful that Ines loves traveling too and is able to join him on location for work," adds the source, noting his distance from his children is “still very difficult for him.”

Pitt and de Ramon, 34, traveled together to Venice, Italy, at the end of August to attend the world premiere for Wolfs, which also marked the couple's red carpet debut. The film, co-starring Pitt's longtime friend George Clooney, is now available to stream on Apple TV+ and is playing in select theaters. Pitt and de Ramon joined George and Amal Clooney for a double date on the trip as well before returning stateside.

"She's a great person. She's laid back, low maintenance and no drama," the source adds of de Ramon, a jewelry designer for the jewelry brand Anita Ko Jewelry.

Pitt and de Ramon have been seen stepping out for date nights in New York City and in Los Angeles over the last month. The couple, who have been dating since late 2022, were most recently seen at  at EBMRF's star-studded Rock4EB charity event, which raised funds for research and to find a cure for the rare skin condition epidermolysis bullosa, in Malibu, Calif., on Sept. 21.

Pitt and de Ramon were first seen spending time together at a Bono concert in 2022. At that time, a source close to de Ramon told PEOPLE that the couple had been dating "for a few months," and shared that a mutual friend introduced them to one another.
