Brad Pitt’s relationship with Ines de Ramon is still going strong after being spotted looking rather cozy at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Thursday night. The duo, who began dating in 2022, seem to prefer to keep their red-hot romance out of the spotlight as much as possible.

Wearing a chocolate brown suit, Pitt was in attendance to honor his friend, Bradley Cooper, who was receiving the Outstanding Performer of the Year award for his work in Maestro. Before going onstage to celebrate Cooper, the 60-year-old actor was seen sitting in the audience with his 33-year-old girlfriend. The photos, captured by Hello!, show de Ramon comfortably resting her hand on Pitt’s thigh. They flirtatiously whispered to each other as she gave a sweet smile to whatever her boyfriend was sharing with her. They looked smitten with each other!

Pitt and de Ramon’s under-the-radar strategy has been crucial for them after both exited high-profile marriages ahead of their relationship. Pitt was married to Angelina Jolie until 2016, and de Ramon was briefly married to Paul Wesley until 2023. A People source said that Pitt “was very low-key last night and skipped the red carpet during arrivals,” which was an easy way for him to avoid making his red-carpet couple debut with de Ramon.

In 2023, the pair was described as “super loving” to People and that they spent ” a lot of time together” over the summer while SAG-AFTRA was on strike and Pitt’s upcoming Formula One racing movie was on hiatus. The jewelry company executive is reportedly “unfazed by his celebrity” and Pitt loves that she “isn’t in the industry,” per an OK! magazine insider.

“Brad and Ines have a nice, easy-going relationship because their personalities gel,” they added. “They’re both mellow and artistic, and they feed on each other’s creativity. They both share a love of art.” Pitt believes she’s “a breath of fresh air” for him after his tumultuous divorce from Jolie, and keeping his relationship as private as possible might be the best course of action moving forward.
