Brad Pitt showed that his Hollywood heartthrob appeal remains undiminished during a visit to the US Open, where he posed for selfies with enthusiastic fans and flashed his unmistakable movie-star grin.
The 62-year-old actor enjoyed courtside seats alongside his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, 33, as Belarusian star Aryna Sabalenka faced Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina in the women’s final in New York on Saturday.
Although Rybakina defeated two-time defending champion Sabalenka in a gripping three-set contest, Pitt’s attention occasionally shifted away from the tennis as he interacted with de Ramon and nearby spectators.
The Oscar-winning star even borrowed one fan’s phone to take a selfie with three thrilled women seated directly behind him and de Ramon.
Nearby, jewelry executive de Ramon appeared equally relaxed, smiling as she leaned toward Pitt and rested a hand on his chest while the couple chatted during the match.
Pitt opted for a casual courtside look, wearing a pale blue polo shirt, jeans and a backward baseball cap. De Ramon brought a more polished touch to the outing in a strapless mini dress covered in a newspaper-inspired print.
Brad Pitt showed his enduring heartthrob appeal at the US Open, smiling for fans and posing for selfies during the high-profile sporting event.
The actor, 62, watched the US Open women’s final from prime seats with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, 33, as Aryna Sabalenka faced Elena Rybakina on Saturday.
Pitt and de Ramon have been romantically linked since 2022. In the years since, they have increasingly appeared together in public, attending major tennis events and even the World Cup.
The pair officially stepped onto a red carpet together at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, where they attended the premiere of Pitt’s film Wolfs.
The US Open appearance came after a challenging week for Pitt, following reports surrounding his former wife Angelina Jolie’s close relationship with their children, who have been described as estranged from their father.
Pitt and Jolie share six children: biological children Shiloh, 20, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 18, as well as adopted children Maddox, 25, Pax, 22, and Zahara, 21.
In recent years, all of the children other than Pax and Knox have filed legal paperwork to drop Pitt’s surname, with Vivienne the latest to make the change official.
This week Jolie, 51, painted an idyllic portrait of her family life, saying her children ‘know me pretty well’ and ‘know all sides of me,’ via L’Officiel USA.
On the subject of Maddox and Pax working as assistant directors on her films, the actress and director offered the sugary remark: ‘Obviously it’s nice for me to be around them, but I am just Mom, wanting to be around her family.’
Her children, she said, are ‘definitely individuals,’ which ‘makes me very proud, because one of the most important things, I think, is to basically not get in their way.’

Jolie continued: ‘As a parent, you try to do many things, but you also try to not get in the way of this human being who has a life separate from yours and so much potential in their own mind. You want to make sure that you support them.’
Our News Outlet has contacted a representative for Pitt for comment.
With all her children now adults, Jolie shared that she was ‘looking forward to more connection and community’ as an empty nester.
‘I’m not somebody who vacations or shops or things like that. I envision more field work, more travel, and just being out in the world. Get my motorcycle back, get back in a plane. I don’t know,’ she mused.
‘That’s definitely what my kids want! They had Mom when Mom needed to be Mom. Now, they’d like me to call them from Tunisia having just landed a plane to meet with local artists. I agree that would be very nice.’
Pitt was subjected to a new humiliation last month when Vivienne, one of his two youngest children, took out an ad in the Los Angeles Daily Journal announcing that she had filed a legal petition to switch her surname from Jolie-Pitt to Jolie.

Court documents obtained by Our News Outlet state Vivienne is making the change for ‘personal’ reasons, formalizing a swap she had put into practice years earlier.
In the Playbill for a 2024 Broadway production of The Outsiders, on which she was credited as a producer alongside her mother, she was written up as Vivienne Jolie.
A source close to Jolie insisted: ‘If people knew the whole truth, they would have more sympathy for the children and respect them,’ via People.
‘The fact they aren’t speaking ill or sharing things publicly only shows their decency. Angie hasn’t been fighting and isn’t angry. She just wants everyone to heal.’
Pitt and Jolie married in 2014 but split two years later, triggering an explosive legal battle over money and custody that rages on to this day.
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in September 2016, after a mysterious dispute on a private plane in the presence of Maddox, who was then 15.
Early in the proceedings, the FBI looked into allegations that Pitt became ‘physical’ with Maddox on the jet, but the investigation was closed with no charges filed.
