Brad Pitt is "smitten" with girlfriend Ines de Ramon, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively.

More than a week after PEOPLE confirmed Pitt, 60, and de Ramon, 34, are cohabiting in his California home, a source says that Pitt "is on top of the world again."

"He has a cheeky smile every time he is around her," the source adds of the couple's relationship.

"He is happy to live with her too. They were spending a lot of time at Brad’s. It only made sense for her to move in," the source continues. "Their relationship is serious. This is Brad’s first girlfriend since the divorce. He didn’t settle and it’s paying off. He loves dating Ines."

Pitt and de Ramon were first spotted together in November 2022. Sources claimed at that time they had already been dating for “a few months.”

Previously, de Ramon, who is the head of wholesale for Anita Ko Jewelry, split from actor Paul Wesley in 2022 after three years of marriage. Pitt, meanwhile, split from Angelina Jolie in 2016 after they began dating in 2005 and wed nine years later in 2014. Prior to that, Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston from 2000 until they announced their split in January 2005.

“Since the divorce, Brad’s dated but never seriously,” the source added. “This is the first serious relationship, and he couldn’t be happier."

Pitt most recently appeared in the 2022 films Bullet Train and Babylon; he has one project, titled Wolfs, expected to release in 2024. Wolfs will reunite Pitt with his Ocean's franchise costar George Clooney. He also has an upcoming F1 racing movie in the works.
