Brad Pitt is soaking up some well-earned downtime with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon before the Hollywood whirlwind starts all over again.
After spending two intense months filming Heart of the Beast in New Zealand, the 61-year-old actor is finally back in the U.S., and according to a source who spoke with People, he’s exactly where he wants to be — relaxing and reconnecting with Ines.
The insider gave a peek behind the scenes of Pitt’s latest project, explaining that much of the movie was shot in rough, wild terrain meant to double as the Alaskan wilderness. “Filming was grueling with a lot of wind and rain,” the source shared. It sounds like the kind of shoot that leaves even the most seasoned actors counting down the days until they’re back home with a warm shower and a cozy bed.
Now that he’s stateside again, the Troy star is reportedly enjoying some calm before the storm. “He’s happy to be back in the U.S. with Ines,” the insider added. It seems like Pitt is leaning into the quiet moments with her before diving headfirst into his packed schedule.
With his new movie F1 hitting theaters on June 27, Pitt’s about to launch into a major press tour. But before all the interviews, red carpets, and flashing cameras, he’s taking a beat to recharge — and spending that time with Ines makes it all the better.
The couple’s connection seems stronger than ever, and Pitt isn’t keeping her in the background. “Ines will attend some public events with him,” the source noted. Their relationship has stayed pretty low-key, but it looks like they’re stepping out a bit more as things progress.
“They are still doing great,” the source added. “She’s perfect for him. She’s very supportive and excited about his career.”
It’s a busy season ahead for Pitt, but with Ines by his side and a major film about to drop, he seems to be in a solid place both personally and professionally.
