Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon are red carpet official. The actor and his girlfriend attended the premiere of his latest movie, the crime film Wolfs, at the 2024 Venice International Film Festival Sept. 1, nearly two years after they first sparked romance rumors.
Brad sported a black, double-breasted tuxedo jacket over a round collar shirt and matching flared pants. Ines wore a white, one-shoulder gown. And it was a double date night for the pair, who were joined by the actor's costar George Clooney, 63, and Amal Clooney, 46. George, who had previously worked with Brad on the Ocean's film trilogy and the movies Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and Burn After Reading, wore a black tux while his wife sported a ruffled, sleeveless pastel yellow gown.
Brad, 60, and Ines, 34, shared several romantic moments at the red carpet premiere, with the two wrapping their arms around each other and exchanging affectionate looks. The actor also posed for solo pics and photos with George and fellow costars Amy Ryan and Austin Abrams.
One day earlier, Brad, his girlfriend, George and Amal were spotted taking a water taxi on a night out in Venice, where the latter couple married almost 10 years ago. Brad and Ines were photographed arriving together at the festival hours earlier.
Their Venice trip marked rare joint public appearances for the couple, who attended the event days after Brad's ex Angelina Jolie walked its red carpet premiere of her latest film, Maria. The actor and Ines, a jewelry designer who was previously married to Paul Wesley, have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight and have never spoken about it since they first sparked romance rumors in late 2022.
A Look Back at Brad and Ines's Relationship Timeline
Brad and his girlfriend were previously photographed together in July at the Formula One British Grand Prix in England, and also in April, when they were spotted on a stroll with their dogs on a beach in Santa Barbara, Calif. The couple's big moment at the Venice Film Festival comes two years since they began dating in 2022

Brad and Ines's Public Appearances and Relationship Milestones
Brad and Ines were first spotted together at a Bono concert in Los Angeles in November 2022. The couple has been seen together at various events since then, including LACMA's annual gala and the Santa Barbara Film Festival. However, they have largely kept their relationship private, opting to avoid posing for photos at public events.
Their most recent public outing was at the British Grand Prix in Northampton, England, in July. The Venice Film Festival marked a significant step for the couple, showcasing their relationship to the world on the red carpet.
Brad Pitt's Ongoing Divorce Battle with Angelina Jolie
Brad's relationship with Ines comes amidst his ongoing divorce proceedings with Angelina Jolie. The former couple, who share six children, have been embroiled in a legal battle since Jolie filed for divorce in 2016. Their divorce remains unfinalised, and they are still in the midst of a contentious custody dispute.
One of the most significant points of contention is the ownership of Château Miraval, the French winery that Brad and Angelina purchased together in 2012. The winery holds special significance for the couple, as they married there in 2014. In 2021, Jolie sold her share of the winery to a Russian company, sparking a legal battle with Brad, who claimed that the sale violated an agreement they had made not to sell their shares without the other's consent.
A New Chapter for Brad Pitt
Brad's public appearance with Ines at the Venice Film Festival signifies a new chapter for the actor. While his divorce from Jolie continues to be a prominent part of his life, he is clearly moving forward with his personal life, embracing a new relationship with Ines de Ramon.
The couple's red carpet debut at the prestigious film festival serves as a testament to their growing bond and public commitment to each other. It remains to be seen what the future holds for the couple, but their appearance in Venice suggests that they are ready to face the world together.
