Brad Pitt and girlfriend Ines de Ramon leave fans wincing over painfully awkward moment at F1 world premiere
Brad Pitt and his girlfriend Ines de Ramon shared a cringey moment on the red carpet of his new racing drama F1 on Monday.
Fans on X shared a collective wince at the couple's awkward interaction after a video appeared to show Ines going in for a kiss with her love.
But the 61-year-old Oscar winner didn't seem to be interested in her affections.
The clip appears to show Brad first leaning in, as if to receive his 32-year-old girlfriend's kiss, before he suddenly changes course and leans back.
Pitt then turns to speak to a woman who had been approaching the couple on the red carpet.
The awkward clip emerged online shortly before a body-language expert exclusively analyzed how Brad and Ines' appearance on the red carpet suggests there may be trouble in their relationship.

'Brad Pitt avoiding Ines kiss (once again) hahaha, she thought he was going to kiss her and he was just trying to cross to the other side I just can't,' the original poster captioned the videos.
'And later snubbing her from a group picture,' they added. 'The way this relationship is so PR I just can't.'
A second clip from the reception at the premiere showed Brad posing for a group photo with Ines standing off to his side.
But as the other people arranged themselves in formation around him, he looked back at Ines and quickly back toward the camera without any signal for her to get into the picture.
Fans in the comments could barely handle the awkwardness of the videos.
'Omg no 😭😭😭,' wrote one user.
Another person posted a gif of Ryan Gosling trying to hide his laughter.
One user suggested that Ines may have just been trying to 'say something in his ear,' but said the video was 'funny' either way.
'I just can't,' wrote a person who posted the videos to X. 'The way this relationship is so PR I just can't'
One user suggested that Ines may have just been trying to 'say something in his ear,' and several other people claimed she didn't know how to stand on the red carpet
Several other commenters claimed that Ines was a source of awkwardness because she allegedly didn't know how to stand on the red carpet, though she and Brad both appeared to have been past the stage of posing for photos and seemed to just be chatting with friends and journalists at that point.
Although the videos painted a picture of an awkward couple, there were also more innocent explanations for Brad and Ines' interactions in the videos.
In the clip in which Brad appeared to be avoiding a kiss, he may have simply been distracted by the woman approaching them, whom he appeared to speak to after moving away from Ines' apparent kiss attempt.
And the video of his cringey group photo also shows Ines hugging another woman in the background as soon as the people posing with Brad disperse, suggesting that she may have gotten distracted by a friend.
Despite the missed opportunities for affection, Brad and Ines did show off some PDA by holding hands on the red carpet while beaming for the cameras.
On Tuesday, sources close to Brad spoke Us Weekly about how the actor had found an ideal 'quiet life' for himself after finalizing his divorce and starting up a new romance with Ines.
One source said the A-lister is 'in a good place' after finalizing his brutal eight-year divorce struggle with Angelina Jolie in late 2024.
They added that he has now found a 'good balance between being in the spotlight and having a private life.'
The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star was also said by a second source to have 'done a lot of therapy over the years' after revealing in 2017 that he had started working with a therapist and had gotten sober.
That update on his mental health and substance use came just a year after Jolie, 50, had accused him of being verbally and physically abusive to her and their children after he became intoxicated on a private jet in 2016.
She made the allegations as part of an FBI investigation into Pitt that was ultimately dropped, but they came to light in 2022 when she reportedly filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the FBI to learn why the investigation petered out.
He was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing by the FBI, and Pitt has denied his ex-wife's allegations.
Despite the droves of famous stars who have since been 'canceled' after they were accused of various forms of misconduct, Brad has so far avoided a similar fate despite the alleged jet incident with his family and claims that he left his first wife Jennifer Aniston for Jolie after they starred together in Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Borkowski PR found Mark Borkowski opined to Us Weekly that the actor's fame, charm and enduring attractiveness may have helped him weather the storm.
'When you're that genetically gifted, the scandal has to work twice as hard to stick,' he said.
Borkowski added that part of the reason the public hasn't risen up against the star is 'because he never comes across as smug and seems vaguely apologetic for being Brad.'
The first source agreed, adding, 'The public has seen he's someone who's been able to be self-aware and self-reflective. Years ago, he acknowledged his mistakes and he's worked to improve them.'
Borkowski noted that Brad departed from many celebrities who respond to accusations of wrongdoing by highlighting their alleged traumas and sharing with fans how they're working to improve themselves.
Instead, Borkowski says the Tree Of Life star 'kept quiet,' which turned out to be 'the one thing no one expects anymore.'
Evan Nierman, the founder and CEO of the PR firm Red Banyan, also saluted Brad's strategy of limiting his amount of time in the spotlight.
'That silence gave him control,' he said. 'Instead of feeding the headlines, he let them run their course while he focused on work.'
While other stars have become 'overexposed,' Nierman said Pitt managed to create a sense of 'mystery' about himself that may have made fans even more interested once he reemerged.
'The less he chases attention, the more magnetic he becomes. Brad knows exactly how he's seen,' he told Us Weekly. 'You don't stay at the top of Hollywood for this long without understanding the game.
'Instead of forcing the story, he stays in control by letting it unfold on his terms, and that's exactly what keeps people intrigued,' Nierman added.
The second anonymous source noted that Brad 'likes a slower [pace] now,' and he had 'embraced' his more intimate life with 'a tight circle' of his closest friends that he is regularly in touch with.
The source added that his friends are aware of 'the deep emotional weight he carries, particularly about his family,' as he is reportedly estranged from most of his children with Jolie.
The former couple share six children: Maddox, 23; Pax, 21; Zahara, 20; Shiloh, 19; and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
The source said Brad had 'made several efforts to reconnect with his kids,' but he was only able to regularly spend time with the twins, as they are his only children who are still affected by his and Jolie's custody agreement because they are minors.
His relationships with the four older children were all said to be 'strained.'
'It's caused him a lot of heartbreak,' the insider said, but they added that Brad is 'known to process things quietly and privately.'
The source also noted that his new girlfriend Ines has helped to calm his life, though he is allegedly 'cautious' about tying the knot again with her after the way his marriage to Jolie and his relationship with his children was degraded.
Despite his concerns, the source said he had displayed 'his commitment to Ines,' and she was said to be 'very understanding' and 'on the same page' about marriage.
'For now, they value companionship and a relationship without pressure,' the source added.
The two have also shown some visual cues suggesting their relationship may be strengthening recently.
Although Brad has made some awkward fashion choices recently, including debuting a 'midlife-crisis makeover' of overly loungy fashion, he and Ines were seen stepping out on Monday in matching blue designer ensembles.
Previously, Brad had kept his style separate from Ines, rather than following her lead as he has with his ex-wives and many of his famous girlfriends.

Amanda Bynes looks downcast on rare solo outing after joining OnlyFans
Amanda Bynes looked downcast as she was seen on a rare solo outing after joining X-rated subscription site OnlyFans. The 39-year-old actress was seen looking rather despondent as she hit luxury grocery store Erewhon in Calabasas on Thursday. Bynes kept her look simple as she sported a light grey full zip hoodie with skinny black jeans and matching Vans Old Skool high-top sneakers. She had her hands full as she carried a brown paper bag from the celebrity-favorite organic supermarket along with a pink Elfbar vape. Her blonde locks were worn down as the sides were pinned up to resemble a mullet style haircut as she wore minimal make-up. This comes weeks after it was revealed that Bynes is seeing her OnlyFans venture as a 'career renaissance' and wants to use it to divulge stories from her time at Nickelodeon, a year on from an explosive documentary which exposed the 'toxic environment' at the TV network. Bynes announced her foray into the X-rated subscription site in April, telling fans she was using it merely to communicate with them, and insisted she will not be sharing anything 'sleazy.' Now, a source close to the former child star has claimed the move will not only afford her the opportunity to make money, share her fashion designs and provide a potential springboard into reality TV, but will also be a safe space to reveal 'what happened from her past at Nickelodeon.' 'Amanda was looking into making money and is convinced that OnlyFans will bring some serious cash her way,' the insider told 'Her intentions are to do this before she seeks any reality show opportunities. 'She understands the stigma around OnlyFans, but she is determined to make this very safe – nothing naughty. She wants to share some of her future designs with her fans, collaborate with them and she also wants to tell stories to people who don't know everything about what happened from her past at Nickelodeon. 'She wants to make it a spot where fans can go and treat it like a meet and greet.' She pursued fashion and art at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, graduating with an Associate's of Art degree in 2014. The insider said she 'doesn't care if friends won't like that she is doing this' as she is 'looking to change course on how she has lived her life the last few years.' They added: 'She is seeing OnlyFans as a bit of a career renaissance.' Bynes announced her OnlyFans debut on Instagram, 15 years after quitting the entertainment business. Bynes, 39, announced her foray into the X-rated subscription site on Tuesday, telling fans she was using it to communicate with them, and insisted she will not be sharing anything 'sleazy' 'I'm doing onlyfans to chat with my fans through dm's,' she wrote alongside a screenshot of her new profile. 'I won't be posting any sleazy content. Excited to join.' She is charging fans more than $50 per month to access her page which currently has mirror selfies. Bynes has maintained a relatively low profile since quitting Hollywood in 2010. In December 2024, she hosted a pop-up art show that was attended by celebrities including Miley Cyrus' younger sister, Noah. It followed a tumultuous time for the troubled star who suffered a highly publicized breakdown in the early 2010s before being placed under a legal conservatorship by her parents for nine years back in 2013. Her downward spiral hit the headlines again last year after the release of Discovery documentary Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids, which shone a light on the 'close' relationship that producer Dan Schneider had with the teenage star. Schneider – who helped create some of the network's most popular shows like All That, Drake & Josh, Henry Danger, Kenan & Kel, Sam & Cat, The Amanda Show, Victorious, Zoey 101, and iCarly – was accused of being overtly inappropriate with Bynes, who is 20 years his junior, as well as with other employees. In the wake of the documentary a video circulated of a bikini-clad Bynes, who was a child at the time, sitting in a hot tub with a fully clothed Schneider. The clip was taken from Bynes' recurring sketch, Amanda's Jacuzzi, which saw the young star interview guests in the bubbling pool. Commentators recalled Schneider and Bynes being 'very close' – including 'physically.' Karyn Finley Thompson, who worked as an editor on several Nickelodeon shows, said: 'There were many times that I saw Amanda sitting behind him, hugging him or giving him like a neck massage or whatever. 'Dan and Amanda had a close relationship, and I didn't think anything different than that. The hot tub scene though I always thought was a little odd.' Schneider departed from the network in 2018 amid numerous allegations of misconduct. At the time, Nickelodeon said it had performed an internal investigation and found that evidence to back up the allegations was 'non-existent.' Schneider, who joined the network in 1993, responded to the allegations made on the documentary in a 19 minute YouTube video in which he admitted that he 'regretted' his past actions and that he owed 'some people a pretty strong apology.' He said he was 'embarrassed' by his behavior in the writer's room and also apologized for his frequent requests for massages from female members of staff while in the studio. But he denied he was involved in any sort of sexual abuse either on the set of, or behind the scenes. In May, two months after the documentary was released, he filed a defamation legal case against the producers, branding the show a 'hit job.' Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV described Nickelodeon in the early 2000s as an 'insidious environment rife with allegations of abuse, sexism, racism and inappropriate dynamics with its underage stars and crew.'

All the clues about Aaron Rodgers' mystery wife as conspiracy theories swirl after shock 'wedding'
Aaron Rodgers claims to have a new bride, but outside of a black wedding band on the third finger of his left hand, proof of his supposed nuptials is noticeably absent. The new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback told reporters after one of his first sessions with the team that he got married 'a few months ago' following weeks of speculation after he'd been spotted with the ring on his finger. His shock revelation came six months after he announced live on The Pat McAfee show that he had found love again with someone named 'Brittani', albeit without providing any more details. And after the marriage bombshell, multiple sources told that Rodgers' family are beginning to question if the man the Steelers are banking on to helm them to their first Super Bowl in over a decade is actually someone's husband. As of today, public records show no trace of a legal marriage. So what do we know about his mystery 'fiancee'? has taken a closer look at the controversy surrounding Rodgers' apparent marriage. Who is Aaron Rodgers' fiancee? At the time of writing, Rodgers' new partner is known only as 'Brittani'. The four-time MVP revealed during his weekly appearance on ESPN's The Pat McAfee Show in December that he had ordered Christmas presents for his mysterious girlfriend. 'I was a little bit worried because there was one package left for my girlfriend Brittani that hadn't showed up yet, so I'd been waiting on this to show up,' he said on the daily sports talk show. 'It showed up today so everything is great now.' After laughing off a joke from a member of the crew that he's dating Britney Spears , Rodgers confirmed that his girlfriend's name is the version spelt with an 'i'. He revealed that his new love interest is not on any social-media channels after joking that she probably doesn't watch McAfee's show despite being a fan of the ESPN host. What has he said about it? After he reported for his first day of practice as a Steeler earlier this month, Rodgers claimed that Pittsburgh isn't the only new addition to his life. The NFL veteran revealed that he has a new wife as well as a new team, telling members of the media that he tied the knot 'a couple of months' ago. "I used to enjoy a little outing to go do my Christmas shopping but I actually ordered all of it online this year.. I've been waiting on one last package to show up for my girlfriend and it showed up today" Congratulations @AaronRodgers12 👏 #PMSLive — Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) December 23, 2024 When questioned about the glaring band circling his finger, Rodgers admitted, 'Yes, it's a wedding ring.' He had first sparked rumors last month when he was spotted at the Kentucky Derby with a band on his ring finger. What do his family think? The news of Rodgers' marriage caught several members of his family and friends off guard, and this week multiple sources told that they are beginning to question if it genuinely happened. A clerk in the Pennsylvania county where he was rumored to have moved to also told this week that no such marriage involving the football star has been registered. County officials in Las Vegas, a common venue for quick celebrity weddings, also confirmed that there is no record of an Aaron Rodgers getting married there this year. What's more, not even his closest relatives seem to know anything about the mysterious woman he now calls his wife, known only as 'Brittani', though given his well-documented fractured relationship with his family, that may not be too surprising. Rodgers has been embroiled in a longtime feud with his younger brother Jordan, the winner of The Bachelorette in 2016, which dates back to his appearance on the reality show. Earlier this week, exclusively reported that Jordan and his wife JoJo Fletcher did not attend the former Packers star's wedding. One insider said: 'Jordan and JoJo didn't go to the wedding and don't even know anything really about Brittani. What they've heard is secondhand from his parents. 'They are still angry that Aaron didn't go to their wedding. He didn't want to be with his brother on the biggest day of his life, so why should they twist themselves up over this wedding? But now insiders say the family is unconvinced the marriage is real – and suspect Rodgers may have had a symbolic 'commitment ceremony' instead of a legally binding wedding. Who did Rodgers date before 'Brittani'? Rodgers' most recent love interest was former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, with the pair spending close to two years together before splitting in 2020. Last month Patrick sensationally claimed the relationship was 'emotionally abusive' and 'wore me down to nothing'. The ex-racer, who has become a staunch supporter of Donald Trump in recent years, opened up on her romance with the NFL quarterback to ex-ESPN broadcaster Sage Steele. When asked to name the most painful experience of her life, Patrick said: 'The breakup with Aaron in 2020, because it was sudden. It felt like it was my life. 'So when you live with somebody, it's your whole life… and because the nature of the relationship was emotionally abusive, so that wore me down to nothing. 'Someone that you know, people could never imagine that I would lack any confidence or belief in the simple things about who I am. Everything was torn to bits. He leaves a trail of blood. 'I don't think I'm saying too much earth-shattering stuff - there's been enough out there. 'But it gave me the greatest gift, which is myself. It gave me the greatest gift of how much I needed to show up for myself and take care of myself.' After their split, Rodgers enjoyed short-lived flings with ex-fiancee Shailene Woodley and Mallory Edens. The Super Bowl winner even got engaged to Hollywood actress Woodley, who recently told People about their 2022 split: 'I felt like I lost my soul, my self, my happiness, my joy. I really understood depression and anxiety and, like, complete soul detachment.' Rodgers also dated another American actress in Olivia Munn from 2014 to 2017.

Duchess of Sussex announces launch of own wine
The rose, described as having 'soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish', on her As Ever website, will be available to buy next month. The new range of food items that went on sale on Friday included a 'limited edition orange blossom honey' at a cost of 28 dollars (£20). Also available were an apricot spread in 'keepsake packaging', and a crepe mix, both £10 each, flower sprinkles for £11 and a range of different herbal teas at £9 for a box of 12 sachets. The new range went on sale at 4pm UK time, and had all sold out by just before 8pm. Meanwhile, a message on the homepage of the As Ever site read: 'Our debut Napa Valley rose is launching just in time for summer entertaining. 'With soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish, this bespoke blend is launching just in time for summer entertaining, and will be available for purchase on July 1st.' In an Instagram post at the same time as the new products went live, the California-based duchess wrote: 'Yummies, and honeys, and fruit spreads, oh my!' Meghan had promised some 'delicious surprises' as she teased, earlier this week, that she would be offering some new products on the site. She previously said the original April launch had been 'absolutely extraordinary'. But she also spoke of her fear that she annoyed customers when the first batch of her jam and herbal teas sold out in less than an hour. She said wanted to wait until it is 'completely stable and we have everything we need'. In the run-up to her re-stock, Meghan shared a photo of jam-making preparations including bowls of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and freshly squeezed lemons, on her Instagram stories, writing: ''June gloom?' Not over here! Because this month your favourite products are back.' Her official As Ever account also posted: 'To all who've been wondering and waiting, thank you! 'Your favourites are returning, plus a few NEW things we can't wait to show you. Coming this month … get excited!'
