In a stunning turn of events, Brad Pitt is reportedly saying goodbye to Los Angeles — selling off his remaining Hollywood real estate and preparing to relocate to Italy in search of what he calls “peace of mind.”
According to sources close to the actor, Pitt has been quietly preparing for the move for months, putting several of his properties on the market, including his long-time Los Feliz compound and parts of his architectural estate collection. The decision, insiders say, comes amid growing frustration with life in Hollywood and ongoing personal tensions surrounding his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie.
Rumours have been swirling that Jolie has been attempting to sabotage Pitt’s blossoming romance with 27-year-old model and jewelry designer Ines De Ramon, whom he’s been dating for nearly two years. A source close to the couple claims that “things have gotten complicated” as Jolie continues to make headlines related to their lengthy custody battle and family disputes.
“Brad’s tired — not just of Hollywood, but of all the noise that comes with it,” one insider revealed. “He’s been talking about starting fresh in Italy, living more privately, and focusing on his art, architecture, and relationship with Ines. He wants peace — that’s all he’s ever wanted.”
Those close to Pitt describe Italy as his “happy place,” where he has frequently traveled in recent years to oversee his restoration project at Villa d’Arpino, a 17th-century estate he co-owns with a group of European architects and artists. The actor reportedly plans to spend much of his time there working on design projects and living a slower, more private lifestyle.
Meanwhile, fans and Hollywood insiders are split on what the move means for his career. Some believe Pitt is making a bold, self-preserving move after years of public scrutiny, while others fear it could mark a step back from acting altogether.
Neither Pitt nor Jolie has issued an official comment, but representatives for Ines De Ramon have reportedly denied claims of interference, calling the rumors “unfounded and exaggerated.”
Still, the timing of Pitt’s sudden departure — amid renewed tabloid focus on his relationship with Ines and lingering drama with Angelina — has sparked massive speculation online.
As one fan wrote on X: “Brad leaving LA feels symbolic — like he’s finally walking away from the chaos once and for all.”
