Brad Pitt and his girlfriend Ines de Ramon appear happy together, but behind the scenes, their romance might be hitting a rough patch. According to In Touch Weekly, Ines wants to take the next step, but Pitt is avoiding serious talks about marriage.

Pitt Avoids Marriage Talks

The couple has been dating for more than a year. Ines, a jewellery designer, reportedly hopes for a long-term future with Pitt — one that includes marriage. But the 61-year-old actor seems hesitant. “When marriage comes up, Brad changes the subject, or he’ll make jokes about his bad track record,” a source told In Touch Weekly.

Divorce Still Haunts Pitt

Insiders believe Pitt hasn’t fully healed from his divorce with Angelina Jolie. “It’s clear he’s been seriously scarred by his divorce from Angelina,” the source said. His past experience seems to make him cautious. Close friends, including George and Amal Clooney, are apparently encouraging him to commit. “They love Ines and think Brad is a fool for making her wait,” the insider added.

Ines Wants More Than Just Love

Ines may be younger and has already gone through a divorce herself, but she still believes in marriage. “She’s still young. Even though she’s been divorced, she’s not jaded when it comes to marriage,” the source explained. “She wants to be Mrs. Brad Pitt.”

However, if Pitt continues to delay, their relationship could suffer. “If he keeps putting it off, it’s hard to imagine she won’t get fed up and leave him,” the insider warned. “Ines isn’t going to stick around forever without that commitment.”

Pitt Loves Ines, But Fears Marriage

Even though Pitt has told friends he wants a future with Ines, he avoids the topic of marriage. “It would be different if Brad were unsure about her,” the source said. “But he’s told everyone he wants to spend his life with Ines. He doesn’t have an ounce of doubt. Before she came into the picture, he wasn’t in a great place; Ines brought this lightness back into his life.”

Pitt Reportedly Prefers Life as It Is

A separate report by the Daily Mail echoed Pitt’s reluctance to remarry. “Brad is totally in love with Ines,” another insider shared. “But he doesn’t want to go down the road of marriage and kids.” They added, “He’s 61 and loving his life just the way it is.”
