Brad Pitt first sparked up a romance with glamorous jewelry designer Ines de Ramon in late 2022.
And now, nearly two years alter, the Fight Club star, 60, and the 34-year-old beauty are said to be ‘very happy’ after enjoying ‘a great summer together’ overseas.
For the past few months they’ve been playing house at Chateau Miraval, the French winery Brad once shared with ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
‘Brad’s been working in Europe, so they’ve spent a lot of time there,’ source close to the couple told People on Saturday.
‘He’s serious about Ines,’ the insider added. ‘He’s very happy and enjoys spending time with her. She’s easygoing and everyone likes her.’

Despite being romantically linked since November 2022, Brad and Ines have made very few public appearances together.
But on Saturday, the age-gap couple made a stylish arrival on the sun-soaked fourth day of the Venice Film Festival.
The actor, who will be premiering his and George Clooney’s new movie Wolfs at the annual event, caught the eye in bright yellow plaid trousers.
Brad completed the dashing look with a smart white shirt and yellow loafers while shielding his eyes behind a pair of aviators.
Meanwhile Ines was effortlessly chic in a high-waisted beige skirt and white top.
Also wearing shades, she added extra height to her frame with heels and toted her essentials in a leather handbag.
The couple strolled along the dock before jumping into a water taxi where they put on a loved up display with the Fight Club star wrapping his arm around the stunner.
Elsewhere Brad’s co-star George and his stunning wife Amal were spotted as they enjoyed a romantic boat trip.
Their appearance comes after it was revealed the pair had been spending the summer at Chateau Miraval, the French winery Brad once shared with ex-wife Angelina.
The two Oscars winners have have been in a years-long contentious divorce battle with the estate at the centre.

While Brad has done some solo traveling this season, including a stop in Lake Cuomo to visit close friend George and his wife Amal, he has carved out pockets of time to spend with de Ramon at the winery, Page Six reported on Friday.
According to the outlet, he was also seen motorcycling in Iceland and has been working on his forthcoming movie, F1.
Brad and ex Angelina tied the knot at Maraval in 2014, years after they’d been an item.
They share six children — Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.
The former couple’s bitter legal battle over the chateau continued in court on August 1 after Jolie’s side filed a new motion.
They purchased the Correns, France retreat for around $60 million in 2012, according to People.
And the Hollywood A-listers even held their 2014 wedding on the grounds of the sprawling property.
It came after they bought a controlling stake in the vineyard in 2008. Jolie sold her portion in October 2021, sparking ire from Brad.

Pitt claims that Jolie made the sale in spite of their prior deal that neither would sell their stake unless the other approved.
Per legal documents obtained by People in February 2022, the Maleficent actress auctioned off her portion to Tenute del Mondo of the manufacturer Stoli Group.
In turn, Pitt claims that Jolie’s former investment company Nouvel owed his company Mondo Bongo the right of first refusal.
Following their breakup, Brad has a strained relationship with his and Angelina’s kids.
Several of them have dropped his last name from their monikers recently, with Zahara being the first.
Vivienne and Shiloh followed suit and the longtime leading man now has ‘virtually no contact’ with his adult children.
‘He has virtually no contact with the adult kids. His engagement with the younger kids is more limited in recent months because of his filming schedule,’ an insider shared with People magazine earlier this summer.
Angelina filed for divorce from the actor in 2019 after five years of marriage.

They later entered into an acrimonious back-and-forth over NDA’s, which have become a key point in their fight.
Jolie has asked Pitt to ‘end the fighting’ and drop the lawsuit against her to allow their family to ‘heal.’
But sources told DailyMail.com that the Babel star ‘has no intention’ of dropping it, alleging that Jolie only made the plea after realizing that she does not have as strong a case as she previously thought.
‘Brad is not going to drop this lawsuit – why would he? This was a very standard business dispute but unfortunately, Angelina has consistently introduced personal elements that are meant for a divorce court,’ a person close to the situation revealed.
