A High-Fashion Date Night in the City of Light
Hollywood actor Brad Pitt appeared entirely carefree during a high-profile romantic outing in France with his longtime girlfriend, jewelry designer Ines de Ramon. On Friday, May 29, the couple—who have been quietly dating since late 2022—were spotted holding hands through the streets of Paris after attending a high-energy Red Hot Chili Peppers concert.
The duo later met up with acclaimed film director David Fincher for a late-night dinner at the prestigious Grand Palais restaurant. Pitt, who is set to reunite with Fincher for the upcoming sequel The Adventures of Cliff Booth, turned heads with a bold, color-blocked lifestyle aesthetic.
Stepping Out in Coordinated Street Style
Brad’s Bold Palette: The 61-year-old F1 star embraced a vibrant, retro-inspired color palette, pairing a bright cerulean blue button-down shirt with tailored plum-purple trousers. He accessorized the look with signature dark aviator sunglasses and matching purple footwear.
Ines’ Understated Elegance: Complementing Pitt’s colorful attire, the 33-year-old jewelry designer opted for a chic, sophisticated evening look. She wore a textured, lacy white top featuring a plunging neckline, paired with earth-toned brown trousers, minimal jewelry, and a premium dark brown luxury handbag.
Growing Legal Distance Within the Jolie-Pitt Family
While the couple put on a united, smiling front for the European cameras, the romantic getaway unfolded against a backdrop of escalating personal and legal strain within Pitt’s family. Just one day prior to the Paris outing, news broke that his eldest son, 24-year-old Maddox, had filed an official legal petition in court to permanently strip “Pitt” from his government name, requesting to legally become Maddox Chivan Jolie.
The legal filing is the latest step in a clear professional and personal pivot for Maddox, who recently opted to be credited strictly as “Maddox Jolie” while serving as an assistant director on Angelina Jolie’s upcoming fashion-centric drama, Couture.
A Pattern of Surnames Dropped
Maddox is far from the only sibling to publicly distance himself from the Oscar-winning actor following the couple’s highly publicized, contentious December 2024 divorce finalization.

Zahara Marley Jolie: During her official graduation ceremony from Spelman College on May 17, 2026, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, Zahara noticeably omitted “Pitt” when her name was announced to the audience as she crossed the commencement stage.
Shiloh Jolie: Upon reaching her milestone 18th birthday, Shiloh took formal legal action by successfully filing a petition to drop her father’s surname entirely.
Vivienne Jolie: In the official theatrical playbills for the hit Broadway musical The Outsiders, which she helped produce alongside her mother, the 17-year-old chose to be credited without her father’s name.

The Ongoing Battle Over Château Miraval
Sources close to the Fight Club actor indicate that he remains deeply saddened by the ongoing estrangement from his six children—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne.
Compounding the family divide is a grueling, multi-year corporate and legal dispute over Château Miraval, the sprawling French winery and estate the former couple co-purchased back in 2011. Despite finalizing their core divorce details at the end of 2024, the exes remain fiercely locked in litigation regarding control and shares of the multimillion-dollar vineyard, keeping the fractured family dynamic under an intense media spotlight.
