A French Winery at the Heart of a Bitter Feud
Chateau Miraval, a picturesque French vineyard, has become the center of a tumultuous dispute between former Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Pitt and his current partner, Ines de Ramon, have spent much of their summer at the retreat, while Jolie has been entangled in a legal battle over the property.
Pitt’s Recent Travels
While Pitt has been enjoying solo adventures, including trips to Lake Cuomo with George Clooney and motorcycle explorations in Iceland, he has also been immersed in his latest film project, “F1,” a feature about auto racing.

Despite his travels, Pitt remains a frequent presence at Chateau Miraval with de Ramon. Their relationship, which began in November 2022, has been kept largely private, likely to avoid upsetting Jolie.
The Winery’s Legal Battle
The 1800-acre vineyard is the subject of a complex legal dispute. Pitt claims that he gifted Jolie half of the winery as a wedding present, with the understanding that she would return it to him if she ever intended to sell it. However, Jolie allegedly violated this agreement by selling her stake to a third party.
Family Dynamics and Legal Challenges
The couple’s divorce, finalized in 2016, has been marked by ongoing tensions, with legal battles over finances and custody still underway. The intense animosity between Pitt and Jolie has even influenced the scheduling of their respective film premieres at the Venice Film Festival to avoid any potential confrontations.
A Public Appearance Together
Pitt and de Ramon have made occasional public appearances, such as their attendance at the British Grand Prix in July and the December premiere of Pitt’s film “Babylon.”
Prior Relationships
Prior to her relationship with Pitt, de Ramon was married to Paul Wesley, the star of “Vampire Diaries,” from 2019 to 2023.
