Ines de Ramon and Brad Pitt’s smooth sailing relationship has encountered a hurdle amid wedding speculations.
The 61-year-old actor has reportedly sparked concerns about his physical and mental health because of his longstanding legal battle with ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
While the Fight Club star is ready to go far and beyond to defeat the Maria actress in their co-owned winery case, de Ramon, 32, is scared of it affecting their relationship.
"Ines can see how this endless battle is exhausting Brad. She admires his determination, but it worries her deeply. Watching him get so wrapped up in something that's clearly hurting him is really hard for her. It's a real lingering mess and it could ruin them as a couple," an insider close to the couple told RadarOnline.
Pitt and de Ramon have been together for three years, and according to previous reports, they are very serious about their relationship, especially since the F1 actor’s mother passed away.
However, the next step in their relationship is held back because of Pitt’s former marriage and the baggage it still brings into his life. The source noted, "Whenever Brad brings up the lawsuit, he shifts completely. He gets tense and on edge, almost like he's someone else.”
Although the jewellery designer is determined to support Pitt every step of the way, the insider added that the messy legal war is alarming for de Ramon.
Her friends have reportedly pointed out the obsessive tendencies in the Hollywood star, warning de Ramon that “the way he's handling things with Angelina might be a bad sign. She's the mother of his kids, yet he's being relentless–and that's starting to make them uneasy."
Pitt recently produced new evidence of communication between himself and Jolie in the legal battle and revived the case anew, which still hasn’t reached a resolution.
