Brad Pitt stepped out with Ines de Ramon in Los Angeles just days after attention turned back to his strained relationship with daughter Zahara.
The 62-year-old actor and de Ramon, 33, attended the Mercedes-AMG world premiere at Sixth Street Bridge on Tuesday, May 19. The couple stayed close throughout the night, holding hands and laughing together as they posed at the event.
Their outing came shortly after Zahara graduated from Spelman College in Atlanta, where Pitt was reportedly absent.
Brad Pitt And Ines de Ramon Look Close In LA
Pitt kept his look classic for the night, wearing a rich brown suit with a cream button-down shirt, tinted aviator-style glasses, black dress shoes, and his usual tousled hair.
De Ramon went brighter, stepping out in a red strapless midi dress with a ruched, fitted design and sweetheart neckline. She paired the look with matching red heels and wore her dark hair loose around her shoulders.
The pair looked relaxed and comfortable together, adding another public appearance to their increasingly visible relationship.
Outing Comes After Zahara Graduation Absence
The timing drew attention because Zahara recently graduated from Spelman College in Atlanta.
Pitt shares Zahara with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. The former couple also share Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne.
During the livestream of Spelman’s graduation ceremony, announcers reportedly called Zahara “Zahara Marley Jolie,” leaving out Pitt’s last name.
That was not the first time Zahara appeared to distance herself from the Pitt surname. In 2023, when she was initiated into Alpha Kappa Alpha, she introduced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie” in a video shared by Essence.
Pitt Family Rift Remains In Focus
Pitt’s absence from Zahara’s graduation has added another layer to the long-running conversation about his relationship with his children.
Several of the Jolie-Pitt children have appeared to distance themselves from his surname in recent years. Shiloh previously filed to legally drop Pitt from her last name, while Vivienne has also been credited professionally as Vivienne Jolie. Pitt has not publicly addressed Zahara’s graduation or the latest attention around her name.
For now, his public life with de Ramon appears steady. His family situation, however, continues to create headlines every time one of his children reaches a major milestone without him visibly present.
