Brad Pitt's girl Ines de Ramon is seen for first time since he gushed about their 'warm, secure' romance
Brad Pitt 's girlfriend Ines de Ramon has been seen for the first time since the movie icon talked about her in the June issue of GQ magazine while promoting his June 27th film F1 about race car driving. He said he felt 'warm and secure' with his love. 'Mostly I feel pretty…. My life is fairly contained,' said Pitt. 'It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am.' When asked by GQ if he made his red carpet debut with Ines at a Formula 1 race event to promote his new film, he said no. Pitt said it wasn't 'that calculated' and that life and relationships evolve naturally. He also expressed that he didn't see the attention from his personal life as a deliberate choice to separate from his work. 'No, dude, it's not that calculated,' Pitt laughed. 'If you're living, oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you're living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.' On Monday beauty - who works as the Vice President of Anita Ko Jewelry - was seen stepping out alone in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. The budding red carpet diva was wearing a long beige sweater with pockets and oversized sunglasses with a black Chanel purse on her shoulder. The ex of actor Paul Wesley wore her dark hair down as she held onto a coffee tumbler and silver laptop. The chic style was pure Angelina Jolie in many ways. The two look very much alike even though they are far apart in age: Ines is 32-years-old and Angelina will be 50 years old on Wednesday. Pitt and Jolie, who share six children — Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, Knox, 16, and Vivienne, also 16 — married in 2014 after meeting on the set of Mr And Mrs Smith. Jolie filed for divorce in 2016. In the same GQ interview, Brad broke his silence on his ugly eight-year Jolie divorce battle that finally ended in December 2024. The Oscar-winning actor was not venting, however, and instead seemed to try and downplay the legal boxing match that's made headlines for almost a decade. The 61-year-old said finally seeing the end of their battle was not 'major.' 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing,' Pitt said. 'Just something coming to fruition. Legally.' Pitt did acknowledge his love life is 'always in the news.' 'It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way,' he told GQ. He now lives at his Los Angeles home with de Ramon. When the GQ writer asked if making F1 was 'a refuge from all the attention' he said, 'Um, I don't see it that way. 'It's been an annoyance I've had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do,' he said of fame. 'So, it's always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don't know. I don't know. He also told GQ that the movie made him happy to be a Hollywood actor. 'Man, I've been doing this for a while and was wondering: Do I have more stories to tell? Do I have anything to add to this? Is there still any excitement I can find from this? It just reinvigorated the whole thing again for me.' The interview comes after Daily Mail revealed Pitt is 'back in the arms' of new love de Ramon for a little work break. The Hollywood actor returned to his Los Angeles home in May, has learned. Pitt had been shooting his latest movie, the survival thriller Heart Of The Beast, in New Zealand for almost three months. Both were seen in Los Angeles last week, but separately. 'Brad is happy to be back in Los Angeles with his lady, he is very in love with her,' the source shared. 'They are doing better than ever. The breakup rumors are not true at all. They are solid.' The couple, who went public with their relationship in November 2022, have marked their third year anniversary. Earlier reported that Pitt is in a good place with his love life. 'They are very much in love and happy to be in a healthy relationship,' the source said. 'Brad loves being with a woman who is not an actress because there is no competition at all, they have their own careers and there is zero jealousy.' Indeed, a relationship with a non-celebrity has marked a stark shift for Pitt whose previous partners have included A-list actresses Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie. Pitt is not Ramon's first famous boyfriend, either. She was previously married to The Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley, but they divorced after five years in November. Pitt's Heart Of The Beast shoot marks the longest time the couple has spent apart since moving in together at his LA mansion last year. But now he has to head out again. The Oscar-winner will go on an international press tour for his race car movie F1. The New York City premiere for the drama is June 16 and the London premiere at Leicester Square is on June 23.

Paramount+ sets a summer debut for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3
It's been almost two years since the last new episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, but Paramount+ has confirmed that the adventures of the Enterprise's first crew will be continuing soon. Via Deadline, Paramount+ announced that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will have a two-episode premiere on Thursday, July 17. New episodes will continue to premiere weekly through Thursday, September 11. Unlike the vast majority of modern Star Trek shows, Strange New Worlds embraces the done-in-one episodic approach that was used in the original series and most of its follow-ups since the '90s. The one notable exception is the season 3 premiere, which will resolve the Gorn story that began in the season 2 finale. Recommended Videos Last month, Paramount+ dropped a teaser trailer for Strange New Worlds season 3, but it's difficult to get much story info out of it other than Spock and Christine Chapel apparently consummating their romantic feelings for each other. Series stars Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, Jess Bush, Christina Chong. Celia Rose Gooding, Melissa Navia, Babs Olusanmokun, and Martin Quinn will all be back in season 3 alongside special guest star Paul Wesley as a young James T. Kirk, the future captain of the Enterprise. This season's guest stars also include Rhys Darby, Patton Oswalt, Cillian O'Sullivan, and Melanie Scrofano. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has already been renewed for a fourth season, which is currently in production. But considering that season 3 will be airing during Comic-Con season, don't be shocked if the cast makes an appearance in San Diego in July. The next Star Trek series, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, doesn't have a date yet, but it did get an early renewal for season 2. That show will follow-up on the events of Star Trek: Discovery and take place in the32nd century as the first class of Starfleet Academy in 100 years trains to join Starfleet.

Drinking Brother's Bond Bourbon With ‘Star Trek's' Paul Wesley
Actor Paul Wesley As Captain Kirk on 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' actor Paul Wesley has taken over the role of one of science fiction's most beloved characters. But it was his previous show 'The Vampire Diaries' that led to his entry into the bourbon world. Together with Ian Somerhalder, his co-star and on-screen sibling for eight seasons, Wesley launched Brother's Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey in 2021. I spoke with Wesley at The Snow Lodge in Aspen about his first drink, what helped him make the leap into the spirits business and why it's so hard to get some whiskey on the USS Enterprise. What was your first drink? I'm Polish, so it was vodka. I spent a lot of time visiting my grandparents in Warsaw when I was growing up and they would always give us a taste — within reason. My parents were very European in that sense. There was wine with dinner. When we created Brother's Bond our slogan was 'time to bond' which is what it's all about for me. You're celebrating something or just enjoying it with someone. Which cocktails do you enjoy? I was always into darker, smokier spirits. So Manhattans and Old Fashioneds have always been my go-to drinks. Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder at the St. Regis World Snow Polo Championships in Aspen. What made you take the leap from enjoying it to wanting to make it? Ian Somerhalder and I were shooting our show 'Vampire Diaries' and we were drinking a lot of bourbon — on and off screen. We had talked about making our own for years but we were always busy filming. And then COVID hit and we had a bunch of time on our hands. We thought 'We're not doing anything, we might as well start blending some bourbon.' What surprised you most when learning about the process? How just one small adjustment can change the entire nuance. We created a four grain mash bill, and just by adding a little barley or some more wheat it's incredible how the characteristics change. We had a master distiller who really guided us so we weren't just shooting in the dark. Paul Wesley at the 51st Annual Saturn Awards. Do you enjoy the publicity side of it? The quality of the brand is the top thing to me, but our social media presence is also very important to us. We have the most-followed bourbon brand on Instagram, almost two million followers. And obviously that helps with sales, but we've also introduced a lot of people to bourbon and helped educate them. Have you gotten to share some Brother's Bond with one of your own idols? I've had plenty of drinks with other actors, but I'm really into basketball. I've become friends with a bunch of the New York Knicks, including one of their star players Jalen Brunson, and we've all shared some Brother's Bond together. For me, I geek out on athletes. Paul Wesley at SiriusXM Studios in Miami Beach. What are your upcoming projects? I'm shooting a miniseries about the war in Ukraine at the end of next year. I'm very excited about that. And now I'm starting to shoot the next season of Star Trek — it's one of my favorite projects I've ever worked on in my life. The cast is amazing, and the show is so innovative. Every episode is like a movie onto itself. If you could have a drink with one of the characters you've played, who would it be? I play Captain Kirk right now and he's the ultimate. Actually, when we were filming last season I tried to get Brother's Bond onto the set of the Enterprise. And — they wouldn't go for it. Space regulations are rough.
