Brad Pitt & Girlfriend Ines de Ramon Make Their Red Carpet Debut at the Venice International Film Festival, Sparking Heated Stir

Stealing the spotlight at the Venice International Film Festival, Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon made a striking red carpet debut in Italy on September 1. Their appearance has prompted a wave of mixed reactions from netizens who have seen the online photos of the duo, with some comparing Ines to a certain someone from Brad’s past.

For the prestigious event, which they attended for the premiere of Brad’s new movie “Wolfs,” Ines and Brad opted for black-and-white looks. The actor’s girlfriend donned a chic, white, one-shoulder bodycon dress. She paired her ensemble with metallic heels and beautiful, dangling earrings.

Ines’ beau looked dashing in an all-black outfit that featured a double-breasted tuxedo jacket, flared pants, and a black t-shirt.

During the evening, Brad and Ines shared several romantic moments, wrapping their arms around each other and exchanging affectionate looks.

At some point, the affair turned into a bit of a double date night situation when the pair was joined by famous couple George and Amal Clooney. Like Brad, George was at the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of “Wolfs,” in which he co-stars alongside the “Fight Club” talent.

While Amal looked beautiful in a ruffled, sleeveless, pastel-yellow gown, George rocked a black tuxedo, matching his wife’s classy vibe.

Brad also took solo pictures with fellow castmates Amy Ryan and Austin Abrams. According to news reports, the blue-eyed actor and his jewelry designer girlfriend attended the film festival two days after Brad’s ex-wife, famous actress Angelina Jolie, was spotted at the same event for the premiere of her latest movie “Maria.”

Upon seeing photos of Brad and Ines at the event, social media users swarmed online platforms to share their opinions. Some were delighted to see the couple together, expressing happiness for Brad and marveling at Ines’ beauty.

“Good for him. He moved on. So should [you’s],” asserted a fan on Facebook. Complimenting Ines, another swooned, “She is extremely beautiful.” “Good Luck Brad Pitt. Hopefully she’s a Keeper. 🤞🤞💖💖🙏,” wrote someone else.

Amid the praise, however, came a few criticisms and a speculative comment questioning the authenticity of Brad and Ines’ relationship. “Shame on him,” chastised a netizen while another pondered, “Wonder if this is just for publicity?”

Other people made comparisons between Ines and three famous women—two of whom are connected to Brad’s romantic past. Bringing the Duchess of Sussex into the mix, one person said, “She resembles [Meghan Markle].”

“This young woman is not as pretty as Jennifer Aniston hope he [learned] something after ruining his life with [Maleficent] but [men] usually don’t so good luck to his new [girlfriend] the only good thing is that he is older,” remarked a Facebooker.

Adding to the comparison narrative, an observer penned, “LMAO can see Angelina’s face.” “Jolie is much more attractive,” stated another while someone else echoed, “She isn’t Jolie.”

While some may be upset by the fact that Ines does not resemble Brad’s ex-wife and the mother of his children, it doesn’t change the fact that the actor is reportedly very happy with her. Someone deemed a source by a media outlet has shared some revelations about the duo and their relationship.

The source spoke about the “great summer” the couple had prior to attending the Venice Film Festival. “Brad’s been working in Europe, so they’ve spent a lot of time there. He’s serious about Ines. He’s very happy and enjoys spending time with her. She’s easygoing and everyone likes her,” disclosed the source.

Brad and Ines were first romantically linked in November 2022 when they were photographed at a Bono concert. Weeks after that, the duo was seen attending Brad’s “Babylon” premiere and afterparty in Los Angeles.

By the time July 2023 rolled around, a source who knows the couple mentioned that Brad and Ines’ relationship was still “going very strong.”

The same source also boasted about how much the pair enjoys each other’s company. In February of this year (2024), another source told a media outlet that Ines had moved into Brad’s home, even though she still has her own.

In July, the duo was spotted in public again—this time at the British Grand Prix in Northampton, England. Over a month before their Grand Prix appearance, Ines de Ramon and Brad Pitt were seen enjoying a tranquil morning walk along the sandy shores of Santa Barbara in May, which prompted a wave of online reactions.

The couple, looking relaxed and in sync, dressed comfortably for the occasion. Like the comments made about her at the Venice Film Festival, some could not help but notice how Ines seemed to resemble features of Brad’s famous exes. In particular, discussions flared around her likeness to Angelina and Jennifer Aniston.

One observer commented, “I can’t help but see the uncanny resemblance to both his wives. It’s like someone took Angelina and Jennifer and rolled them up together like pie dough.”

Meanwhile, another noted, “Looks like a young Angelina.” However, opinions varied significantly. Another Facebook user claimed, “She looks nothing like Angelina..not a great pic, but she’s missing the cheekbones.”

Amid the discussions of physical resemblance, others focused on Ines’ individuality and the couple’s compatibility. “She looks like herself beautiful no comparison to Angie y’all need glasses,” read a supportive Facebook comment.

Despite the divided opinions on her resemblance to Brad’s exes, there was a consensus on the couple’s happiness. Comments such as “It’s good that they are happy together. It doesn’t matter if they are together at the same age. I wish them the best,” and “He looks better at 60 than most guys look at 38. So it’s OK,” highlighted public support.

The discourse also touched on deeper aspects of their bond, with fans appreciating Ines for her authenticity. On this, some shared, “Now he has someone who fights FOR him,” and “Ines is the real deal. Not a gold digger or needs fame. Yes, they appear to have much in common. I hope it works out!”

During their beach outing, the duo donned harmonious white outfits. This added a touch of elegance to their casual stroll. Brad dressed comfortably in a white t-shirt and a loosely buttoned polo.

He paired it with cream pants that complemented the coastal vibe. The actor also wore orange sunglasses and had a beverage in hand, suggesting a laid-back day ahead.

Meanwhile, Ines matched Brad’s serene style. She wore a white flowy sundress with a daring thigh-high slit. She completed her beach attire with a sleeveless green puffer jacket and white sneakers.

As they walked along the beach, their interaction was affectionate and intimate. Brad often wrapped his arm around Ines, pulling her close. Their two dogs added to the idyllic scene, energetically running along the shoreline.

The duo’s sighting came amid a protracted legal battle with Brad’s ex-wife, Angelina. Their conflict centered around the control and terms of a $500 million winery purchased during their marriage.

The winery, acquired in 2008, became the focal point of the dispute since Angelina filed for divorce in 2016. The legal struggle spanned courts with both parties asserting their rights and grievances.

Previously, Angelina revealed that Brad coerced her into signing an expansive non-disclosure agreement. The move was supposedly for a winery-related deal. However, Angelina claimed the NDA was an attempt to prevent her from speaking about allegations of Brad’s abusive behavior.

This included an incident on a flight from France to California in September 2016. Angelina cited this as a significant turning point in their relationship.

According to Angelina, the proposed NDA covered matters related to the Miraval deal. Still, it extended to Brad’s personal misconduct. She contended that the agreement was unfairly onerous and designed to silence her.

When negotiations over the NDA faltered, Angelina opted to sell her shares of the winery to a subsidiary of the Stoli Group. This was a move that Brad alleged was done unfairly and without his consent.

In response, Brad’s legal team filed documents at the LA Superior Court demanding that Angelina disclose other NDAs. These included contracts that she had signed with third parties. Brad’s attorneys argued that these documents were essential to demonstrate whether the NDA was indeed a dealbreaker for Angelina.

They asserted that understanding her history with other NDAs was crucial to assessing her stance on the one proposed by Brad. Angelina’s recent filings have pushed back against this demand.

These documents stated that forcing the actress to reveal details of nearly two decades of contractual relationships is an invasion of privacy for both her and the third-party entities involved.

Her lawyers argued that this move by Brad was another form of abuse. In particular, aiming to discredit and humiliate Angelina in the court proceedings.

The legal documents also emphasized that the NDAs with third parties, which mostly relate to employment and compensation, are irrelevant to the case. Additionally, they mentioned that the necessary documents should focus solely on the specifics of the Miraval transaction.

Like Brad, Ines has also experienced the complexities of a public divorce. Before her relationship with Brad, she was married to “Vampire Diaries” star Paul Wesley. Their marriage began in 2019, however, it came to an end with the finalization of their divorce earlier this year (2024).

The divorce proceedings between Ines and Paul were documented at Los Angeles County Superior Court. Moreover, the official signing of the divorce papers occurred on February 23.

The documents state that the couple agreed on the division of property and other marital rights through a written agreement. Another significant aspect of their divorce was Ines’ decision to revert to her maiden name.

Their separation was handled with a level of amicability. Both Ines and Paul waived their rights to spousal support, indicating a mutual understanding and respectful end to their marital relationship.

Paul’s representative announced their separation, stating that the couple had mutually agreed to separate about five months before the official filing, around April 2022, due to irreconcilable differences.

This backdrop of personal changes for Ines sets a parallel to Brad’s own ongoing divorce saga, highlighting their shared experiences of navigating breakups under the public eye.
