Brad Pitt was urged to finalize his bitter eight-year divorce battle with ex-wife Angelina Jolie by his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon.
RadarOnline.com can reveal the jewelry designer, 32, wanted closure from the ordeal so she and Pitt, 61, could “have a life” and children together.
A source said: “He was influenced by Ines to finally settle.
“Ines wants to have a life together — with possibly children in the future — without the albatross that was the eight-year War of the Roses.”
The insider added: “She has made (it known that) her opinion is that life would be much more enjoyable with this settled.”
RadarOnline.com revealed in September that Pitt is open to having children with his new partner.
Another source said: “Ines is a positive influence on Brad. She has a really good perspective on things.
“It’s sad how this whole thing has played out, but at least this is progress in the right direction.”
Jolie, 49, filed for divorce from the Bullet Train star on September 19, 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. And the A-list exes have been declared legally single as of 2019.
They reached a settlement and signed divorce documents on Monday, December 30, but are still disputing over the $62million French chateau and vineyard, Chateau Miraval, they once jointly owned.
Jolie and Pitt were reportedly on the same page about signing the divorce papers because they agreed it was “time to move on”.
An insider said: “Both sides realized it was time to move on. It was mutually beneficial to get it done with.”
