Brad Pitt‘s girlfriend Ines de Ramon bared her taut midriff when she was spotted dashing around Los Angeles this week.

When she surfaced this Tuesday, she was the image of Southern California style in a plunging crop top and a set of sweats.

Her sighting comes on the heels of claims that Pitt is open to starting a family with her – amid his ongoing legal woes with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie and his estrangement from their six children.

He is said to be ‘100% on board’ with starting over with de Ramon and has even told friends she would make a ‘wonderful mother,’ according to a pal of the star.

A friend of Pitt told DailyMail.com: ‘It’s devastating for Brad that he basically had no relationship with his kids, but Ines has been a real source of comfort and it’s actually brought them closer together.

Pitt’s strained relationship with his children as well as his acrimonious split from Jolie was thrust into the spotlight again after it was revealed his daughter Shiloh filed to drop her father’s last name after her 18th birthday.

Last week, a source close to the Oscar winner said his erasure from his daughter’s life is just another indication that he has ‘lost his children,’ according to People.

But even as Pitt has been dogged by family drama and lingering divorce issues in recent months, his relationship with de Ramon has only intensified.
