Brad Pitt and his girlfriend of three years Ines de Ramon are planning to celebrate a "low-key" Thanksgiving together.
The couple, together since 2022, moved in with one another earlier this year.
It has been a particularly challenging year for Pitt, culminating in the loss of his mother this past August.
It has, admittedly, been a difficult year forBrad Pitt.
The actor's mother, Jane Pitt, died at 84 years old this past August. His home was also burglarized over the summer, and Pitt remains locked in legal battles with his ex-wife,Angelina Jolie, over their French winery Château Miraval. A bright spot, though? His girlfriend of three years,Ines de Ramon, who he plans to spend a "quiet" Thanksgiving with this week.
"They like keeping things low-key and creating intimate traditions," a source toldPeopleof the couple, who have been dating since 2022.
This year's quiet Thanksgiving will mirror last year's holiday, where the actor and the jewelry industry executive "enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving last year with good food," an insider told the outlet. This year's plans are "similar," with another source adding, "They will be celebrating with a small group."
The death of Pitt's mother "was heartbreaking," the insider continued, adding, "He felt sad for his dad, too. Brad's very grateful to have Ines. She's beyond supportive."
Pitt and de Ramon moved in together earlier this year, and at a recent appearance to supportGeorge Clooneyat the Los Angeles premiere of Clooney's new filmJay Kelly, the couple "arrived early and were very touchy-feely and seemed joined at the hip," a source said of the pair at the premiere's afterparty. "They looked loved up. He was in a great mood and seemed thrilled to be there to celebrate his friend."
Though they occasionally make public appearances together, "When they are home, they just relax together," a source previously toldPeople. The two are "going really strong," and "Brad is really including Ines in all his travel plans," the insider added. Though the couple began dating in 2022, they didn't make their red carpet debut until 2024, but de Ramon was by Pitt's side for most of his extensiveF1press tour over the summer. Pitt "loved having Ines by his side," an insider said.
"They are really making their home into a home," the source shared, with another chiming in that "They are happier than ever" and that Pitt is "so happy and in love."
"She's no drama, very supportive, and they're doing really well," an insider toldPeople.
After his mother's death, a source said that de Ramon "wants to be there for him, and Brad is very much letting her be that person."
"Ines is really close with Brad's family as well," a source toldPeoplesoon after Brad's mother's passing on August 5, adding that de Ramon "immediately reached out to send her condolences as soon as she heard the news."
