Brad Pitt rules out marriage for good after his bitter split from Angelina Jolie, and the world is taking notes at 62.

LOS ANGELES — Brad Pitt rules out marriage even though his relationship with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon is stronger than ever. According to a new report, the actor says he will never marry again after nearly eight years of legal battles.

Brad Pitt Rules Out Marriage After Angelina Jolie Divorce: Report

According to DailyMail.com, citing an insider close to Pitt on Friday, the actor has completely closed the door on a third marriage following his long and painful divorce from Angelina Jolie.

The source told the outlet, “He has a great partner who he appreciates but there is no rush in that direction.” It is a clear shift for an actor who was once romantic about the institution.

Brad Pitt rules out marriage despite PDA-packed appearances with De Ramon in 2026, including the women’s singles final at the US Open on September 12, where they were seen cozying up, via InStyle.

The report comes after Pitt finalized his divorce settlement with Angelina Jolie in December 2024, ending nearly eight years of legal drama that began with their separation in 2016.

Why Brad Pitt Says He Will Never Marry Again

Marriage is a thing of the past for Brad Pitt. Friends say the 8-year divorce changed his view on legal commitment. The case involved custody battles, financial disputes, and an ongoing fight over Chateau Miraval, the French winery estate they once co-owned.

Insiders claim the length, cost, and public nature of that fight changed him. Brad Pitt rules out marriage because of the emotional toll and the desire for peace.

Perez Hilton and FirstCuriosity, reporting on the same Daily Mail sourcing, noted that Pitt deeply values the calm and stability Ines brings, describing her as easygoing and supportive, but marriage is a firm “no.”

No More Children Either

The same insider said Pitt has also ruled out having more children. At 62, he is said to be content with his current family, despite its fractures, and does not want to expand it again. For an actor who once built his identity around a big family of six, the statement marks a major evolution.

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon: Happy But No Ring

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon have been dating since late 2022. They made their relationship more public in 2024 and in 2026 have been photographed at high-profile events, including the women’s singles final at the US Open where they were seen in a PDA-packed date.

Despite reports that De Ramon, 33, is incredibly close with Pitt’s inner circle, marriage is not on the table. Sources told Page Six in June that Pitt doesn’t plan to take the next step, even though friends see the relationship as stable.

The actor reportedly enjoys the peace after years of turbulence and does not want to introduce legal complications again. For De Ramon, who was previously married to Paul Wesley, the arrangement is said to work as well.

This is consistent with Pitt’s history. In 2006, he famously told Esquire he and Jolie would not marry until everyone in America could legally marry. He later married Jolie in 2014 in France, only for the marriage to end two years later.

The Angelina Jolie Divorce That Changed Everything

The Pitt-Jolie divorce is considered one of Hollywood’s longest and most explosive. They were declared legally single in 2019, but custody, financial, and property issues dragged on. The final settlement in 2024 ended the marriage chapter.

Friends say the divorce left Pitt disillusioned. One insider said the emotional toll of court filings, private jet incident allegations from 2016 which were investigated and resulted in no charges, and years of headlines made him averse to ever signing marriage papers again.

The report comes just as Pitt is gearing up for a career resurgence with his F1 movie, now in post-production and one of Warner Bros.’ most anticipated 2026 releases. Those close to him say he wants to focus on work, his children in private, and his relationship without legal pressure.

Chateau Miraval Battle Continues

Even after the 2024 settlement, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie remain locked in a separate ongoing legal dispute over Château Miraval, the French estate and rosé wine business they co-owned. The case keeps them tied in business court and is often cited by friends as proof of why Brad Pitt rules out marriage for good.

Strained Relationship With His 6 Children Continues

The same Daily Mail report also touched on Pitt’s strained relationship with his six children with Jolie: Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17.

The issue returned to public attention after Pitt did not attend Zahara’s graduation ceremony at Spelman College in Atlanta. TMZ reported that Jolie and all of Zahara’s siblings were present and cheering her on, while Pitt was absent.

A source told TMZ, “Nothing prevented him from showing up for her. Or ever visiting her.” A source close to Pitt countered, “You can’t have it both ways — to promote a complete estrangement and then criticize someone for not going to an event when you’ve made sure that they would not be welcome. That’s not a situation which he created.”

The insider told DailyMail.com, “There has been a campaign of alienation [by Jolie] which has been successful. The antagonism is huge. He has been alienated from the kids completely. It is devastating to him.”

Zahara Graduation and Name Change

In recent years, several of the children have publicly dropped Pitt from their last names, with Shiloh filing to become Shiloh Jolie and Zahara introducing herself as Zahara Marley Jolie at her sorority event. Pitt has not commented publicly. Representatives for both Pitt and Jolie did not respond to requests for comment on the marriage claim.

Why Hollywood Understands His Decision

Very few stars survive two decades of tabloid marriage culture, a global divorce, and remain A-list. Brad Pitt has. From Jennifer Aniston to Brangelina and now to a quieter life with Ines de Ramon, he has lived through every era of celebrity gossip.

At 62, Brad Pitt rules out marriage not out of bitterness, but out of clarity. He has a partner
