Brad Pitt and his girlfriend Ines de Ramon stepped out hand-in-hand on September 16, 2026, turning the global premiere of his new survival thriller Heart of the Beast into a stylish date night. The event took place at the FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee, just outside Nashville, and brought together Hollywood star power with Nashville music royalty.
A Camouflage Statement on the Red Carpet
Brad Pitt, 62, arrived at the premiere wearing a full camouflage-print suit designed by Greg Lauren, the nephew of fashion legend Ralph Lauren. The outfit featured a camo jacket and matching pants worn over an olive green shirt, paired with brown suede shoes and aviator sunglasses. The actor, who plays a former Special Forces officer in the film, leaned fully into the military theme of his character.
Pitt joked about his choice of attire while speaking with USA Today at the event. “I was trying to lay low and not be seen,” he said, drawing laughs from those nearby. The camouflage suit was a clear nod to his role as James Belmont, a retired Special Forces officer who survives a plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness.
Ines de Ramon, 33, brought a softer touch to the red carpet, wearing a tiered peach-colored gown with lace detailing. She paired the romantic look with a dark red lipstick and wore her long brunette hair down and loose. The jewelry designer, who has been linked to Pitt since late 2022, held hands with the Oscar-winning actor as they posed for photographers.
Inside the Heart of the Beast Premiere
The global premiere of Heart of the Beast drew a mix of Hollywood stars and Nashville musicians to the outdoor venue. J.K. Simmons, who stars alongside Pitt in the film, attended the event, as did Anna Lambe, David Ayer (the film’s director), and producers Olivia Hamilton and Marty Bowen.
Music performances ahead of the screening were given by Blake Whiten, Jamey Johnson, and Lily Meola, adding a distinct Nashville flavor to the evening. Country stars Jason Aldean and Brittany Aldean, Chase Rice, and Jana Kramer were also among the guests who walked the red carpet.
Pitt’s canine co-star Uber, the German Shepherd who plays Odin in the film, also made an appearance at the premiere, posing alongside Pitt, Ayer, and the rest of the cast. The director, David Ayer, praised the dog’s performance, saying Odin “steals the show”.
Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon Relationship Timeline
The premiere marked another public outing for Pitt and de Ramon, who were first linked in November 2022 after being introduced through mutual friends. The couple confirmed their romance at the Babylon premiere that December and moved in together by early 2024.
Their relationship has largely remained private, though they have made several joint red carpet appearances over the past two years. De Ramon first joined Pitt on the red carpet for his film Wolves, and has since accompanied him to premieres for F1 and other major events.
In September 2026, just days before the Heart of the Beast premiere, the couple attended the US Open Women’s Singles Finals in New York, where they were photographed being openly affectionate. They also attended Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s star-studded wedding at Madison Square Garden on July 3, 2026, an event Pitt described as “the wedding of the century”.
“But it was big, and yeah, at one point, I lost her in the melee, on the dance floor,” Pitt said of the wedding reception, adding that they reunited quickly.
A source told Us Weekly in late 2025 that the couple is “still going strong” and “very committed,” though they “aren’t interested in getting married and are on the same page about that”.
What Heart of the Beast Is About
Heart of the Beast is a survival thriller directed by David Ayer, who previously worked with Pitt on the 2014 World War II film Fury. The film follows James Belmont (Pitt), a Special Forces officer whose plane crashes in the remote Alaskan wilderness. Stranded with his combat dog Odin, Belmont must fight to survive against brutal weather, rugged terrain, and wildlife.
The film also stars J.K. Simmons and Anna Lambe. Cameron Alexander wrote the screenplay and serves as an executive producer, while Damian Chazelle and Olivia Hamilton produced through their Wild Chickens Productions banner alongside Temple Hill Entertainment, Ayer’s Crave Films, and Pitt’s Plan B studio.
Paramount Pictures presents the film in association with Domain Entertainment and Gulfstream Pictures. The movie was filmed in New Zealand, which doubled for the Alaskan wilderness.
Early Reactions Praise the Film
Early audiences have responded warmly to Heart of the Beast, with many praising the emotional bond between Pitt’s character and his dog. Film critic Zach Pope called it “every dog lover’s favorite movie of the year,” describing it as “a genuinely moving love letter to perseverance, survival, and the unwavering loyalty of dogs”.
Viewer Brent shared on X that the film was deeply moving: “Such an emotionally powerful movie. We really don’t deserve dogs. They’re the best. I cried. I cheered. I cried again”. Another viewer, Junior Felix, praised Pitt as “flawless” and called Uber “the emotional center” of the story.
David Ayer has also spoken about the film’s central relationship. “It’s really beautiful in the film how they work together and depend on each other,” Pitt said in a behind-the-scenes featurette.
