Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon: A Public Debut and a Stylist's Confirmation

What does it take to make a Hollywood relationship official? Sometimes, it's a public debut at a major event. Other times, it's a simple caption from a trusted friend.

For Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon, it appears to be both. The couple officially made their public debut as a couple at the 2024 F1 Grand Prix, according to E! News. The sighting set the stage, but it was a social media post that added the official stamp.

Celebrity hairstylist Laurie Zanoletti — who first posted pictures of the pair on July 6 — confirmed Pitt and de Ramon's status by calling them her "favorite lovers." The photos, reshared to her IG Stories, showed the jewelry executive smiling alongside the Oscar winner in formal attire.

While their public appearances have been relatively few, they've been spotted at a growing number of high-profile events. They also showed subtle PDA at the Mercedes-AMG World Premiere in May and his F1: The Movie red carpet events last year.

Their romance first sparked rumors in late 2022 after de Ramon's split from The Vampire Diaries alum Paul Wesley. Early signs included de Ramon wearing a necklace with a "B" initial in August 2023 and the pair celebrating their birthdays together that December.

For Pitt, navigating public scrutiny is nothing new. "My personal life is always in the news," he shared in a 2025 interview with GQ. "It’s been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let’s put it that way." He described the attention as "an annoyance I’ve had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do."

Despite the buzz, Pitt seems to have found a sense of peace. "My life is fairly contained," he told GQ. "It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it’s like this fly buzzing around a little bit."

He also reflected on the organic nature of relationships, telling the magazine, "It’s not that calculated. If you’re living, oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you’re living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve."
