Brad Pitt and Ines De Ramon have been actively trying to start a family together this year, with sources confirming their efforts.
While they haven’t succeeded, the couple remains committed to becoming parents.
An insider exclusively told In Touch, “Brad and Ines have been trying, they’ve not been successful yet, but they’re not giving up and he’s made it clear to friends it’s not going to be a one and done situation.”
Yes, his relationship with his kids is very sad for him right now, but he insists that this isn’t a reaction to that pain, that he had every intention of starting a family with Ines regardless of that.
As the Babylon actor moves forward with Ines, his relationship with his children – Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15 – remains strained.
Despite separating from their mother, Angelina Jolie, in 2016, the former couple’s divorce proceedings are still ongoing, with custody arrangements for their minor children remaining a point of contention.
“People can speculate about his motives all they want, but the fact is Brad wants two, maybe even three kids, with Ines and he would do the adoption option again in a heartbeat if that’s something Ines wanted too,” the insider continued.
“He also thinks surrogacy is a great option, especially if it gives them the chance of having twins. He really is a wonderful father, that’s why it’s so sad that things have disintegrated so badly with his kids. He has no doubt Ines will make a wonderful mom, the plan is to have at least one baby very soon, and then work quickly to have at least one or even two right after that.”
Ines and Pitt’s pregnancy intentions were exclusively revealed earlier this month by another insider, who revealed that the Bullet Train star “wants another chance at fatherhood.”
