LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon turned the Mercedes-AMG world premiere into a full-on couple moment. The pair stepped out together on Tuesday, May 19, arriving hand-in-hand at the star-studded event held at the Sixth Street Bridge.
The Oscar winner, 62, kept it sleek for the night out, while his 33-year-old girlfriend stayed close by as the two smiled and posed for cameras on the red carpet.
Pitt’s public appearance comes amid renewed family buzz after daughter Zahara, whom he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie, appeared to ditch his last name during her graduation ceremony, where she reportedly used only Zahara Jolie.

The 'F1' actor looked right at home at the big premiere, wearing a tan suit with a white shirt, gold sunglasses, longer hair, and a mustache that gave off cool vintage vibes. Standing beside him, Ines de Ramon stole attention in a bright red strapless dress paired with matching heels.
The couple stayed close all evening, chatting with guests, smiling for photos, and looking completely comfortable together on the red carpet. Pitt also stopped for a few solo pictures during the event, while Formula 1 driver George Russell later shared a photo with Pitt from the event on social media.
Pitt has already spent plenty of time around the Formula 1 world after filming and releasing his racing movie 'F1.' Over the past few years, the actor was spotted at several real-life Grand Prix weekends while shooting scenes for the film.
Zahara Jolie drops ‘Pitt’ surname during graduation ceremony
During the ceremony, the 20-year-old was introduced as Zahara Marley Jolie, leaving out 'Pitt' from her surname. This was not the first time Zahara used the name publicly, either. In 2023, while joining the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, she introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie.
Zahara is also not the only one among the former couple’s children to move away from using Pitt’s surname publicly. In 2024, Shiloh legally removed 'Pitt' from her last name after turning 18. Earlier this year, Maddox was credited without Pitt’s surname while working on Angelina Jolie’s movie 'Couture' as an assistant director.
Meanwhile, Vivienne was listed as 'Vivienne Jolie' instead of 'Jolie-Pitt' in the playbill for the Broadway musical 'The Outsiders' back in May 2024. Pitt and Jolie were declared legally single in 2019, but the former couple’s legal disputes have continued over the years.
