Brad Pitt and girlfriend Ines de Ramon turned heads in the stands at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Saturday, September 12, as they watched Elena Rybakina claim the 2026 U.S. Open women’s singles title. The pair sat courtside during the championship match, captured on video and in photos reacting to the action and clapping along with the crowd.
Rybakina defeated two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 to capture her first U.S. Open title and third Grand Slam overall. While the tennis delivered drama, cameras kept finding the Hollywood star and his partner in the premium seats.
In the short clip that is circulating from New York Post Sports, you can see the couple quite well. Pitt, 62, is seen wearing a light blue polo shirt, clear framed glasses, and a light blue baseball cap which he had worn backwards along with a gold watch. He had also grown a gray beard as he can be seen clasping his hands initially but applauding in high spirits once he scores some points. De Ramon, 33, who is an executive from the jewelry industry, is seen sitting on the right side of Pitt wearing a light-patterned top and long dark hair. She is seen watching intently and applauding as well along with a smile at the end of the 13-second reaction shot.
Multiple outlets, including People, OK! Magazine, UPI, and photo agencies, published matching images from the day. The official U.S. Open coverage also documented the pair in the stands, independently confirming their presence. Reports noted Pitt chatting with fans nearby and posing for selfies before or during the session. They sat near former New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia and his family.
Pitt and de Ramon have been a couple since late 2022. They have been out on several high-profile events together since, like their red-carpet debut in 2024. For the US Open 2024, the pair turned up again at the men’s final the day after they won the women’s one. They were seen low-profile but still in the company of each other throughout the competition.
There was just the expected amount of drama and fashion talk, but the coverage did not go beyond simple speculation. It was all about the celebrity sighting at a top sports event, not unsubstantiated gossip. There was no controversy to report, just a standard celebrity appearance.
The confirmation came through in the form of independent photo wire services and the tournament’s official accounts. The two sources matched on the date, venue, seats, and facial reactions.
For the US viewers who follow both Hollywood and tennis, the love story was a typical feel-good one. It had the benefit of a dramatic Grand Slam climax on the court while also providing an off-court distraction for those looking for one. The victory of Rybakina was a sports story, but the presence of Pitt and de Ramon provided the necessary spice to keep the social media and entertainment sites busy for the weekend.
