Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon ‘very affectionate’ before date night with George and Amal Clooney

Brad Pitt may be embroiled in a nasty divorce battle with ex Angelina Jolie, but at least there’s a bright spot in his life — he seems happily in love with his girlfriend of two years, Ines de Ramon.

The movie star and his new squeeze took their romance to Venice over the weekend, where they shared date nights with pals George and Amal Clooney, and made their red carpet debut a the Venice Film Festival.

Meanwhile, Page Six sources says the lovey-dovey stuff isn’t just for the camera. Our spies caught the foursome hanging out at Cipriani Hotel’s pool bar and restaurant on Saturday night before they headed out for their double date.

“[Pitt] seemed very happy. They were very affectionate and cheerful. It was very sweet,” a source told us.

The couples’ evening was a mix of business and pleasure. Clooney and Pitt were at the hotel for a private photo call according to our eyewitness. We’re told Pitt and de Ramon arrived to the bar area around 7.30p.m., where Clooney was “engaged in deep convo” with a casually dressed Tilda Swinton.

There were about eight other guests and, ‘After saying warm hellos, Brad and George went over to the pool to take their photos, then came back over to mingle in the bar,” our spy said.

“All of them were in great spirits, and cheerful. There were lots of laughs,” the source added.

The stop at Cipriani was brief. They exited the hotel at around 8 with Pitt’s hands around de Ramon’s waist,” according to the source. The A-list couples then headed to dinner at Ristorante da Ivo via water taxi.

They ended the weekend posing for pics on the red carpet for Pitt and Clooney’s new film “Wolfs.”
