Brad Pitt's girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, is making the actor's holiday season a bit brighter.
"The holidays are always a more emotional time for Brad,” a source told an outlet, referring to the fraught relationship he has with his and ex-wife Angelina Jolie's six kids. Pitt's mother, Jane, also passed away in August.
A source shared that Brad Pitt is 'very grateful to have Ines in his life.'
The insider shared, "With some of the older kids distancing themselves and dropping Pitt from their last name, of course it adds another layer of sadness."
The source continued, "The reality is that the holidays can be difficult when things are strained with his children, no matter what else is going on."
Fortunately, the Moneyball star, 61, has de Ramon, 32, by his side.
"At the same time, he feels very grateful to have Ines in his life — her support and love mean the world to him," the insider said.

Pitt and Jolie, 50, finalized their divorce in December 2024 after more than eight years of contentious legal proceedings. The actress filed in September 2016.
The former couple share six children: Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17.
Shiloh filed to drop "Pitt" from her hyphenated last name on her 18th birthday in May 2024 and was officially granted the name change three months later.
Angelina Jolie filed to divorce Brad Pitt in 2016.
Zahara also dropped her dad's last name as she introduced herself as "Zahara Marley Jolie" in a video that showed her being inducted into Spelman College's Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.
Moreover, Pitt's youngest daughter was listed as "Vivienne Jolie" in the playbill for the musical The Outsiders, which she worked on as an assistant alongside her mother.
Angelina Jolie remains very close with her six children.
"It’s heartbreaking. The implication is that they want nothing to do with Brad," a source told an outlet when Shiloh made the first shocking move.
