Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon were seen holding hands at New York’s JFK Airport as the actor remained close to his girlfriend amid the continuing estrangement between him and several of his children.
Pitt, 62, and de Ramon, 33, travelled together on Friday, days after he attended a screening in Los Angeles. Pitt wore a grey cropped jacket with matching loose-fitting trousers, a checked yellow shirt, yellow trainers, a backwards cap and aviator sunglasses.
De Ramon opted for a flowing white blouse and matching trousers, with her dark hair worn loose and parted in the middle. She also wore dark aviator sunglasses.

Their appearance came after Angelina Jolie spoke about her relationship with their six children, describing them as individuals and saying she was proud of them.
Jolie, 51, told L’Officiel USA that her children “know me pretty well” and “know all sides of me”. She also said that, as a parent, she tried not to obstruct their lives while ensuring they had her support.
“You want to make sure that you support them,” she said.
The former couple share biological children Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne, and adopted Maddox, Pax and Zahara. In recent years, all except Pax and Knox have taken legal steps to remove Pitt’s surname, with Vivienne the latest to formalise the change.
Vivienne recently filed a legal petition to change her surname from Jolie-Pitt to Jolie, citing personal reasons. She had already been credited as Vivienne Jolie in the programme for the 2024 Broadway production of The Outsiders, which she worked on with her mother.
A source close to Jolie said the children had chosen not to speak publicly about the family dispute, adding: “The fact they aren’t speaking ill or sharing things publicly only shows their decency.”
Jolie also recalled working alongside some of her children on her films. Maddox and Pax worked as assistant directors, while she described directing Without Blood in Italy as a “wonderful shoot” during which the family spent time in the same location but had separate living arrangements.
She spoke warmly about visiting Zahara at Spelman College in Atlanta, saying the experience had been significant for their family. Jolie said she felt “deeply honoured” to have been welcomed by the historically black college and to witness Zahara’s involvement with the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.
With all six children now adults, Jolie said she was looking forward to “more connection and community” and hoped to travel, undertake field work and return to riding her motorcycle.
The relationship between Pitt and his children has remained strained since his separation from Jolie. The couple married in 2014 and split two years later, beginning a prolonged legal battle involving custody, allegations of abuse and a dispute over their French winery, Chateau Miraval.
Jolie alleged that Pitt had behaved abusively during a private-plane incident in 2016 and in the period before it. Pitt has firmly denied the allegations, while an FBI investigation into claims that he became physical with Maddox was closed without charges.
Pitt has not publicly responded to Jolie’s latest comments. His former partner was photographed with him at the US Open women’s final earlier this month, where the pair were seen sitting together in the stands.
