When Partners Steer the Spotlight
George Clooney and Brad Pitt have long been celebrated as the epitome of Hollywood masculinity. But these days, the dynamic has shifted—big time. Their partners, Amal Clooney and Ines de Ramon, are taking center stage in more ways than one. It's not just about social events anymore; these women are influencing everything from fashion choices to dinner plans.
Here's the scoop straight from an insider who spoke exclusively to Closer: “It’s really noticeable now how much Brad and George lean on their partners. Whether it’s deciding what to wear or even what to order at a restaurant, they’re deferring to them. It’s a whole new chapter in their lives.”
Capturing the Moment in Venice
Just recently, both George, 63, and Brad, 60, were photographed with their significant others, Amal, 46, and Ines, 31, at the Venice International Film Festival on September 1. They were there to debut their latest project, Wolfs. Let’s just say, the gentlemen looked sharp—almost too sharp. And guess who deserves the credit? That’s right, their partners.

“Brad lets Ines handle everything from dinner orders to picking out his shirts. George? Well, he’s been letting Amal take the reins since that motorcycle crash back in 2018,” the insider reveals, referring to the time George was hit by a car while riding his motorcycle in Sardinia. Though the injuries were minor, that incident marked a turning point in his life.
A New Chapter for George
That motorcycle accident didn’t just change George physically; it shifted the balance of power in his relationship with Amal. “After that crash, George decided to kick his wild ways—partying too hard, riding too fast—and that decision really strengthened their bond,” the source explains. “Amal is an incredible international human rights lawyer, and George respects her deeply. Letting her lead has only made their relationship stronger.”
George and Amal have been married since September 27, 2014. As they approach their decade mark, Brad can’t help but admire how their partnership continues to flourish. “Brad has always appreciated a strong woman, and he sees how much happier George is now,” the insider adds.

Brad's Evolution with Ines
While Brad’s ex-wife Angelina Jolie certainly fits the mold of a strong woman, Ines brings a unique energy to the table. “Ines might seem sweet and supportive, but she’s got spunk. She’s feisty in ways people don’t expect,” the source shares. It’s clear that Brad values this quality in his partner.
A Lifelong Bond
Through it all, George and Brad remain as close as ever. “We’ve been friends for years now,” George told GQ during a joint interview with Brad last month. “It’s not just about working together; it’s about checking in on each other. Life gets complicated, and it’s important to make sure everyone’s okay.”
Over the years, the two have collaborated on countless projects, including Ocean’s Eleven, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and Burn After Reading. Their latest film, Wolfs, is just another chapter in their storied careers.

Brad reflects fondly on their partnership: “George is like a chess master. He sees the bigger picture and anticipates moves. Whenever things get tough, I call him because I know he’ll have the answers.”
George echoes the sentiment: “Working together for so long creates a unique bond. I don’t even need to look at Brad to know what he’s thinking. There’s a level of confidence and ease that comes with knowing each other so well. You just trust that everything will work out.”
