We do not have a copy of the wife's petition, but we do have the order of the judge who granted the restraining order. It says, among other things, "both parties are prohibited from "threatening the other party or a child of either party with imminent bodily injury."

Brad Pitt isn't looking to get down on one knee to propose to girlfriend Ines de Ramon ... at least, not yet ... TMZ has learned.

We're told the Oscar winner has no imminent engagement plans ... though, he is still very happy in his relationship with Ines.

Per our sources, Ines is currently living and constantly traveling with Brad as he wraps up filming his upcoming sports action flick, "F1." So, it's clear these two are still going strong after first linking up in 2022.

In the essay, Lilly's lamenting she's now a spectacle in the public eye despite being in a profession where patients are better helped by not acknowledging their therapist's personal life.
