Brad Pitt is preparing for his first holiday season without his mother, Jane Pitt, and plans to spend it in a calm and personal way with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon. The Brad Pitt holiday plans will focus on close gatherings and shared traditions, as the couple chooses to keep things subdued while navigating a significant period of change.
Pitt and de Ramon Keep Traditions Personal and Gatherings Small
According to sources close to the couple, Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon are reprising the understated festivities they enjoyed last year, opting for an intimate Thanksgiving together. A Pitt source noted they
“enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving last year with good food,”
PEOPLE reports, and indicated that this year’s plans will be just as low-key.
Someone close to de Ramon revealed that the pair prefers holidays without much fanfare, sharing,
“They like keeping things low-key and creating intimate traditions. They will be celebrating with a small group.”
Pitt, who is still coming to terms with the passing of his mother in August at 84, is said to be leaning into the comfort of routine and the support of those closest to him. The same Pitt source described the loss as “heartbreaking,” reflecting on how the actor
“felt sad for his dad too.”
The insider emphasized Pitt’s gratitude, saying,
“Brad’s very grateful to have Ines. She’s beyond supportive.”
The Couple Embraces Privacy but Steps Out for Friends
Since their relationship began in 2022, Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon have made efforts to maintain their privacy, moving into a new home together earlier this year. While they typically avoid the spotlight, the pair made a public appearance this month to show support for George Clooney at the Los Angeles premiere of the film Jay Kelly at the Egyptian Theater.
Reports describe the duo as being relaxed and affectionate throughout the event. A source observed them at the post-premiere celebration, stating,
“arrived early and were very touchy-feely and seemed joined at the hip”
. Another attendee shared,
“They looked loved up. He was in a great mood and seemed thrilled to be there to celebrate his friend. Brad and Ines spoke in a group with Clooney for a while and then talked to Bono for a bit,”
highlighting their connections with both George Clooney and Bono during the evening.
Pitt’s Professional Momentum Carries Into the Season
Amid his personal life, Brad Pitt continues to stay active professionally. Following the recent acclaim of his Formula One film, F1, he is now collaborating again with Quentin Tarantino on The Adventures of Cliff Booth, which serves as a sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Despite his preference for privacy, Pitt’s professional pursuits continue to attract public and critical attention.
As Pitt and de Ramon embrace the holiday season with personal traditions and the company of close friends, their approach signals a desire for comfort and connection during a year marked by both loss and new beginnings. Their choices reflect a careful balance between honoring the past and looking forward with those they cherish.
