Brad Pitt recently had an unexpected encounter at the Gagosian Gallery opening in Beverly Hills. The actor attended an exhibition by his 'Moneyball' director, Bennett Miller, and found himself in the same room as his ex-wife Angelina Jolie's father, Jon Voight, and brother, James Haven.
According to eyewitnesses, it was quite an awkward situation as Pitt and Jolie's family members stood apart and did not engage in much conversation. The small space of the event only heightened the tension, and whispers circulated among those in attendance.
Pitt attended the event with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon. The couple reportedly remained polite and acknowledged Voight and Haven, but there was minimal interaction between them. Pitt looked stylish in a brown leather jacket with a fuzzy collar, paired with a polo shirt, denim jeans, and suede boots. De Ramon, a jewelry designer, opted for a white tank top, beige cardigan, black leather pants, and matching boots.
Aside from Jolie's family, other notable celebrities like Britney Spears' ex-husband, Sam Asghari, were present at the gathering. Asghari even took the opportunity to approach Pitt for a selfie and mentioned how much Spears admired him. After that, Asghari engaged in a conversation with Haven and Voight.
Pitt and de Ramon have been linked romantically since November 2022 and made their red carpet debut a year later. According to insiders, this is Pitt's first serious relationship since his divorce from Jolie. He introduces de Ramon as his girlfriend, and sources describe him as being in a good place and genuinely happy with her.
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in September 2016, and although they have been legally single since March 2019, their custody battle continues to be a point of contention. The former couple shares six children together, but Pitt's relationship with them appears strained. Zahara recently dropped Pitt from her last name during her college sorority's induction ceremony, and Pax reportedly expressed harsh sentiments towards his father in a Father's Day 2020 rant.
It's a complex situation, but Jolie's family seems to be supportive and protective of her and her children. Voight has previously mentioned Pitt's struggles with alcohol and expressed his hopes for his former son-in-law to take care of himself. Haven has also discussed how he has reorganized his life to be present and supportive of his sister and her kids.
While the encounter at the gallery may have been uncomfortable, it is a reminder of the complexities and emotions that can linger after a high-profile divorce. As the custody battle continues, Pitt's focus seems to be on maintaining a healthy relationship with his new partner and finding happiness in his personal life.
