It’s no longer a secret that Brad Pitt and Ines De Ramon are a thing, and that the romance between them is way more than simple infatuation speaks the fact that the Fight Club star wants to take things to a new level and introduce his girlfriend to his children.

According to people close to the couple, the two have a plan to settle down together and star a family, but there are things that need to be settled before this becomes a reality.

In November of last year, a source is said to have spoken to PEOPLE and described Ines De Ramon, ex-wife of actor Paul Wesley, as “Brad’s first proper relationship since the divorce” from Angelina Jolie.

Indeed, the Troy star is said to have started introducing the 32-year-old as his girlfriend.“He introduces [Ines] as his girlfriend,” an insider PEOPLE. “It’s great to see him in a good place. Ines makes him very happy.”

What’s most, he’s allegedly extra cautious since his costly divorce from ex Joliie and the ongoing legal fees linked to the grievances of his former marriage. Pitt is likely to insist upon a watertight prenup.

Another thing that’s on the Troy star’s mind is De Ramon meeting his children. Allegedly, he’s fearing the reaction of his ex.

They added: “She’s not just the kids’ mother, she’s their best friend. Can you imagine what a meeting would be like between the kids and Ines? No wonder he’s in no rush to make the introductions!”

Famously dubbed ‘Brangelina’ in the media, Pitt and Jolie fell in love on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, embarking on a romance that stole headlines all over the world.In 2016, however, Jolie filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. She also moved to request sole custody of the pairs six children, Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne and Knox.

It’s Jolie who is often seen with the couple’s children in public, while Brad hasn’t been photographed with his brood in a long time.

The custody battle between the former lovers – regarding the younger children – is yet ongoing, with reports suggesting that Angelina is vying to drag the case out until twins Vivienne and Knox turn 18.
