Brad Pitt is receiving heartfelt support from girlfriend Ines de Ramon following the death of his mother, Jane Etta Pitt, on August 5, 2025. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star’s longtime partner, 35, has been a pillar of strength as he grieves the loss of his mother, who passed away at 84.
A Steady Presence in Grief
Sources confirm de Ramon—a jewelry designer who has dated Pitt since late 2022—immediately reached out to the Pitt family upon learning of Jane’s passing. “Ines is supporting Brad as he grieves his mother’s loss. “She wants to be there for him, and Brad is very much letting her be that person” 11.
De Ramon’s closeness to Pitt’s family has been pivotal during this time. “She is really close with Brad’s family as well,” another insider shared, noting her swift condolences and ongoing presence 11.
Remembering “Grammy” Jane
Jane Pitt, a retired school counselor from Springfield, Missouri, was celebrated for her boundless love and creative traditions with her 14 grandchildren. In an emotional Instagram tribute on August 6, Pitt’s niece Sydney wrote:
“She had the biggest heart… She taught me to paint, be strong, and lead with kindness. Every grandchild got a ‘Special Day’ with her—banana splits for breakfast, mini-golf, and her silly games” 11.
Jane’s obituary highlighted these cherished one-on-one moments, calling them “among the fondest memories” for her family 11.
Brad’s Current Focus
Pitt had been filming the Netflix sequel The Adventures of Cliff Booth around the time of his mother’s passing. De Ramon, who made her red-carpet debut with Pitt at 2024’s Wolfs premiere in Venice, recently joined him at events for his racing film F1 11.
Family Bonds Amid Strain
Jane’s death underscores a painful reality: Brad’s six children with ex-wife Angelina Jolie had been estranged from their grandmother for nine years amid the couple’s ongoing conflict. A source lamented, “The most gut-wrenching part is that Angelina kept the kids away from their grandparents” 11.
As Pitt navigates grief, de Ramon’s support symbolizes stability. Her dedication reflects Jane’s own legacy—prioritizing family, love, and showing up when it matters most.
