One of the most unexpected stars to go to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding was definitely Brad Pitt (and his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon). And then later the same week, Pitt and Ramon made their Instagram debut, and it was all meticulously planned to allegedly “control the narrative.”

Pitt has no social media, and Ramon rarely updates her page, but hairstylist Laurie Zanoletti shared a series of photos of the couple for the wedding. She shared the photos with the caption reading, “My favorite lovers @inesdrmn & Brad Pitt for an incredible moment in nyc🤍🥹.”
Insiders allege this post was planned by Pitt’s team, according to Rob Shuter for his Naughty But Nice Substack.
“Nothing went online without Brad and Ines saying yes,” the inside source said to the outlet. “They knew exactly which photos were being posted and understood they would instantly become some of the most talked-about pictures on the internet.”
They added, “This was carefully managed. Brad has spent decades controlling his image. He knows the value of an exclusive photograph better than almost anyone in Hollywood. These weren’t sold, but everyone involved knew they were incredibly valuable.”
Since Pitt was invited to the wedding because he previously appeared on Kelce’s podcast New Heights With Jason and Travis Kelce, he allegedly utilized this moment to help him with “controlling the narrative”
“This wasn’t spontaneous,” they added. “Brad could have kept the relationship private forever. Instead, he decided the timing was finally right.”

For those who don’t know, Pitt and Ramon were first seen out together in Nov 2022, less than six months after it was announced that she and her ex-husband, Vampire Diaries alum Paul Wesley, called it quits after filing for divorce for “irreconcilable differences.”
