Brad Pitt's girlfriend Ines de Ramon reportedly pushed him to finalize his bitter eight-year divorce with Angelina Jolie so they could 'have a life' and children together.
On Tuesday, an insider close to the 61-year-old actor told Page Six that his 32-year-old jewelry executive girlfriend 'influenced' him to 'settle' with her in order to make 'progress in the right direction.'
'He was influenced by Ines to finally settle,' the source said. 'Ines wants to have a life together — with possibly children in the future — without the albatross that was the eight-year War of the Roses.'
The insider added, 'She has made [it known that] her opinion is that life would be much more enjoyable with this settled.'
In June DailyMail.com reported that Brad is open to the idea of having children with Ines.
Jolie, 49, filed for divorce from the Bullet Train star on September 19, 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. And the A-list exes have been declared legally single as of 2019.
They reached a settlement and signed divorce documents on Monday, December 30, but are still disputing over the $62million French chateau and vineyard, Chateau Miraval, they once jointly owned.

A separate source told the outlet Ines 'is a positive influence on Brad. She has a really good perspective on things.
'It’s sad how this whole thing has played out, but at least this is progress in the right direction.'
Jolie and Pitt were reportedly on the same page about signing the divorce papers because they agreed it was 'time to move on.'
'Both sides realized it was time to move on. It was mutually beneficial to get it done with,' the insider shared.
The Lost City actor and his lady love have been romantically linked since late November 2022, but made very few public appearances together in their first year of dating.
The age-gap couple made their official red carpet debut on the sun-soaked fourth day of the Venice Film Festival in August of 2024.
Another insider previously revealed that Pitt is 'so grateful' for the raven-haired vixen, 'who not only supports him but isn’t fazed by being in the public eye or all of the issues surrounding [his] legal drama.'
They shared that de Ramon 'doesn’t let any of those issues come between them or put any type of strain on their relationship.'

Pitt and Jolie share six children — Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16; seen on February 2019
Back in August, another source told People that Pitt is 'serious about Ines. He's very happy and enjoys spending time with her. She's easygoing and everyone likes her.'
On Monday, Jolie's attorney James Simon told the outlet: More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family.
'This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.'
The Mr. & Mrs. Smith stars tied the knot at Maraval in 2014, 10 years after meeting of the hit action-comedy film. They share six children — Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.
Prior to marrying Jolie, Pitt was previously wed to Friends star Jennifer Aniston. The exes separated in 2005.
And before romancing Fight Club star, de Ramon was married to Vampire Diaries alum Paul Wesley — they split on 2022 and finalized their divorce in early 2024.
