As Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon‘s relationship is heating up, his ex-wife Angelina Jolie has one warning for Brad’s girlfriend: stay away from their kids.

“Angelina still exerts a lot of control over Brad,” a source exclusively tells In Touch, revealing that Angie, 48, does not allow her children to spend time with Ines, 31. “There’s no doubt Ines wants to meet the children, but she knows Brad has to do whatever it takes to see them without trouble from Angelina.”

On February 15, People reported that Ines had moved in with Brad, 60, after nearly two years of dating. However, eyewitnesses exclusively tell In Touch that the jewelry designer always leaves Brad’s Los Feliz, California, home about 20 minutes before his children arrive to spend time with their dad – ensuring that the kids don’t cross paths with dad’s live-in girlfriend.

The former Mr. & Mrs. Smith costars exes share six kids – Maddox, 21, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.

When Brad and Angelina started dating in 2005, she had already adopted Maddox. The couple then adopted Zahara, welcomed Shiloh in 2006, went on to adopt Pax and rounded out their family with the birth of the twins in 2008. After nearly 10 years together, Angelina and Brad finally got married in 2014, only for Angelina to file for divorce in September 2016. Their bitter divorce and custody battle ensued, but as Maddox, Pax and Zahara are of age now, their legal battle continues over their minor children.

In December 2016, Angelina received full custody of their minor children, while Brad was granted visitation rights. The actor’s relationships with his children became highly contentious in the years that followed, with Maddox speaking out at his parents’ custody hearing in March 2021 and Pax reportedly slamming his dad the year prior.

“Happy Father’s Day to this world class a–hole!” Pax reportedly wrote in a resurfaced Instagram Story from 2020, which was shared by The Daily Mail in November 2023. “You time and time again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person. You have no consideration or empathy towards your 4 youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence. You will never understand the damage you’ve done to my family because you are incapable of doing so. You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell. You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come to light someday. So, happy Father’s Day, you f–king awful human being!!!”

Pax was not alone in shading his dad. Sister Zahara notably dropped the last name Pitt when caught on video officially joining sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha at Spelman College.

“My name is Zahara Marley Jolie. And [I] landed all the way from the Golden State in the city full of angels: Los Angeles, California,” she said in the November 2023 video, seemingly indicating that there was distance between her and the Fight Club actor. Brad has reportedly tried to do right by his children, and Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne appear to have a more friendly relationship with him as compared to their siblings.

As for Brad and Ines, they were first spotted together in November 2022 and have continued to share low key moments together in public. Of his approach to his relationship with the jewelry designer, a separate insider told In Touch earlier this month that Brad’s split from Angelina made him “cynical,” and he “values his privacy” more than ever.

Angelina Jolie reportedly warned Ines De Ramon to stay away from her, Brad Pitt kids.

Angelina Jolie may have parted ways from her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, but she still is in control of a major chunk of his life despite his new relationship with Ines De Ramon.

The Maleficent star still dictates the terms Fight Club actor’s life as she has the full custody of the couple’s younger kids, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.

According to In Touch Weekly, the Hollywood hunk has no control over his kids. Hence, he has not introduced them to his new lover despite being in a relationship with her for a year.

They revealed that Jolie issued a scathing warning to the jewelry designer to stay away from her children, and Pitt is doing everything in his power to not put his ex.

“Angelina still exerts a lot of control over Brad,” the insider said, adding that the kids, including Maddox, Pax, and Zahara, are not allowed to meet with de Ramon.

The source added, “There’s no doubt Ines wants to meet the children, but she knows Brad has to do whatever it takes to see them without trouble from Angelina.”

Previously, a source spilled to National Enquirer that Pitt is “walking on eggshells” when it comes to introduce his children to de Ramon.

The source close to the A-lister revealed that “the caution stems from a desire to avoid additional tensions with Angie.”

They went on to explain that Pitt’s reported “desire” to avoid further feud with Jolie is because “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?” the source said.
