Brad Pitt made a rare public appearance with his new girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, at the Art + Film Gala event in Los Angeles. The couple was not photographed together on the red carpet, but they were seen laughing and joking with people around them. A source close to de Ramon said that she and Pitt are in a great place, and their relationship is progressing quickly. They reportedly spent a lot of time together this summer, as Hollywood filming was on hold due to the strike. The couple has been dating for a few months, and they first met at a mutual friend's house. De Ramon supported Pitt at the premiere of his movie "Babel" in Los Angeles and celebrated his 59th birthday with him at a Hollywood restaurant. The publication speculates that their relationship has moved to a more serious stage with their public appearance at the event.
