Their romance came on the heels of De Ramon’s divorce Vampire Diaries alum Paul Wesley. In September 2022, a representative of the former couple told Us at the time the couple “split five months ago”, noting that the split was “mutual”.

Pitt, meanwhile, is embroiled in a messy legal battle with Jolie over their Château Miraval estate. While the exes finalized their divorce in 2019 – and gained joint custody of their children two years later – they have been fighting over their shares in the French property for years.

(In February 2022, Pitt sued his ex-wife, claiming her sale was an attempt to “undermine Pitt’s investment in Miraval”.)

Jolie, for her part, filed a countersuit later that year, claiming that it was Pitt who attempted to “seize control of the estate” “in retaliation” for their ongoing “divorce and custody proceedings,” according to court documents obtained by Us at the time. She further claimed that she had given her ex the chance to buy out her share in Château Miraval, but he would have asked her to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
