If both you and your significant other are actors, shooting an intimate scene seems like a great idea.

After all, who else would be a better scene partner? 

But it would appear that chemistry in the bedroom doesn’t necessarily translate to the technical, arduous love scene filming process on set – as many actors have revealed. 

Most recently, Ewan McGregor and wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead admitted to using an intimacy coordinator to help choreograph their sex scenes in forthcoming Paramount+ series A Gentleman in Moscow.

Despite being married for nearly two years and in a relationship since 2017, the couple were happy to be guided through the amorous scenes as they believed it was ‘still necessary’.

According to Ewan, 52, who met his wife, 39, on the set of Fargo, it was still ‘odd’ to be naked and intimate around other people.

‘If you were doing a dance scene, you’d have a choreographer,’ he told the Radio Times.

‘It’s an important part of the work now, because it’s somebody that the director and actors meet in the middle.’

And the actor may well have had a point, as celebrities over the years have admitted that they’ve felt ‘strange’, ‘awkward’ and ‘uncomfortable’ about shooting love scenes with their partners despite thinking it would be easier.

Riley Keough – whose husband played a one night stand on Daisy Jones & The Six – admitted that the discomfort arose from the fact that she’s never had ‘pretend sex’ with him before, whereas Kyra Sedgwick said it’s ‘weird’ to shoot intimate moments with her husband Kevin Bacon because it blurs what’s ‘real’ and isn’t.

Elsewhere Angelina Jolie has before branded it ‘the strangest thing’ to make love on camera with her then husband Brad Pitt. 

Here, FEMAIL takes a look at what real-life Hollywood couples have said about tackling steamy scenes together…

Riley Keough & Ben Smith-Petersen

The star of Daisy Jones & The Six revealed that it was ‘awkward’ to shoot a sex scene with her husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, in episode two of the series.

In the show, the pair have a one night stand as a distracted Daisy thinks more about song lyrics than her bed partner.

Speaking on Late Night with Seth Meyers last year, Riley, 34, admitted the producers thought ‘it would be so funny’ if her husband of nine years starred in the cameo.

‘I think they were thinking it would be less awkward and then we got there and they’re like, “This is really uncomfortable”,’ she explained.

‘For one, I’ve never had pretend sex with my husband.”

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt

In 2015, a newly married Angelina Jolie, 48, and Brad Pitt, 60 – who have since split up – shot intimate scenes in By the Sea, a romantic drama.

Angelina also wrote, directed and produced the film – later admitting it felt unusual to simulate love making with her husband on camera.

According to Yahoo, she told Entertainment Weekly: ‘It’s the strangest thing in the world to be lying naked in a bathtub with an iPad that’s showing you the shot outside, while your husband is at the door and you’re directing him to come in and make love to you in front of a bunch of other men with cameras.

‘I couldn’t get out of the bathtub to get to the monitor because the director is naked. 

‘We’re artists and want to be free, but Brad – it’s his wife. He was on towel duty. He’d hold the towel over me.’

She added it was also ‘strange’ to ‘do a love scene with a person that you really have sex with’, explaining that the only way to tackle it was to ‘talk about the absurdity of it’.

Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedgwick

This Hollywood It-couple have been married for 36 years – but early into their marriage, in 1991, the pair decided to do a wacky sex comedy called Pyrates together.

And speaking to Yahoo last year, Kyra, 58, revealed that it’s ‘much harder’ to do sex scenes with her real-life partner than a fellow actor.

She and Kevin, 65, have also since filmed intimate scenes together for other projects, including Murder in the First (1995) and The Woodsman (2004).

‘It’s weird because we’re always like, “Is this real or is it not?”,’ she explained.

‘As an actor, you sometimes have these dreams when you start a job where you’re sleeping and they’re filming you.

‘With Pyrates, I was [sleeping] with my husband and they were filming it! It’s like, “This can’t be real — I’m having a dream.”‘

Chris Hemsworth & Elsa Pataky

In 2018, Chris Hemsworth, 40, and his wife Elsa Pataky, 47 – who have been married for 14 years – played husband and wife in action thriller 12 Strong. 

The movie tells the story of the first Special Forces team that’s deployed to Afghanistan following the events of 9/11. 

Appearing on breakfast TV show Sunrise to promote the film, Chris said his wife would ‘boss him around’ on set.

‘We had about seven or eight year’s rehearsal time to play these characters,’ he said.

‘If we didn’t have any chemistry we’d be in trouble.’

However, when it came to filming the film’s love scenes, Chris told Sunrise hosts Samantha Armytage and David ‘Kochie’ Koch that it wasn’t exactly the kind of environment they were used to.

‘How do you do a love scene with your own wife with a crew standing around?’ Sam asked the star.

‘Yeah, that’d be the big difference,’ Chris replied adding ‘the cameras and the lights… that we weren’t accustomed to.

Sam cheekily added: ‘Well we should hope so’.

‘It’s not a usual setting for us definitely,’ Chris said.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart

Robert Pattinson has in past opened up about how ‘strange’ it was to shoot intimate scenes with Kristen Stewart – who he was in a relationship with – during the Twilight series.

In 2011, he told Parade: ‘I think the more comfortable you are with each other, the harder it gets to do any kind of really intense relationship scene.

‘You’re kind of thinking, “I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of this person,” “I know what she’s thinking now,” so it becomes ridiculous after awhile.

‘Watching other people have sex is never going to be that spectacular anyway. It’s a strange thing when there’s so much hype about it.’

Viola Davis & Julius Tennon

Viola Davis’s husband Julius Tennon plays one of her on-screen love interests on the hit show, How to Get Away with Murder.

And while Viola, 58, admitted she felt ‘safe’ doing intimate scenes with her partner of nearly 20 years, there were some awkward moments during filming.

Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2017, she recounted: ‘He had to take my panties  off at one point and then I had to keep resetting them because you know, you’ve got to keep doing the scene over and over again.

‘But I forgot to reset them once and so we got to the point and he went to pull them off and his face went “V, you’ve to put your panties back on!”‘

Brad Pitt’s girlfriend Ines De Ramon cut a stylish figure while running errands in Santa Monica on Tuesday, following his legal victory over ex Angelina Jolie.

The 31-year-old jewelry designer wore a casual, cool charcoal gray sweater and faded vintage-style jeans during her outing.

The brunette beauty – who has helped him navigate his bitter divorce from Angelina, 48 – paired the outfit with brown suede boots and a gray crossbody bag.

She shielded her eyes with sunglasses and had a cup of coffee and her cell phone in her hands.

Ines – who recently finalized her divorce from actor Paul Wesley, 40, – has been linked to the Oscar winner, 60, since November 2022.

Ines and Wesley finalized their divorce more than a year and a half after announcing their divorce at the end of 2022.

In court documents obtained by People Wesley “waived future spousal support payments” and “requested that her former name be reinstated.”

The former couple, who cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split, married in 2019 and have no children.

Meanwhile, Brad has secured the latest victory in the battle for control of the French vineyard he owned with ex-wife Angelina in the latest twist in the so-called ‘War of the Rosés’.

The Chateau Miraval estate, which produces an award-winning sparkling rosé, is at the center of a protracted court battle between the pair.

Jolie sought to overturn a preliminary ruling from the LA Supreme Court that accepted her ex-husband’s claim that she sold her share of their beautiful vineyard to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler without his consent in 2021.

But in another victory for the Fight Club star, the court rejected allegations that his lawsuit was “frivolous, malicious and part of a problematic pattern.”

It now means Pitt’s legal team has the green light to take the lawsuit to court, in which the A-lister is suing Jolie for breaching an agreement that they would refuse each other first.

DailyMail.com’s court filings show that on March 8, the Hollywood star was given the green light to amend a rejected claim alleging breach of an “implied covenant” of fair dealing and good faith.

Judge Lia Martin rejected Jolie’s lawyers’ attempts to dismiss the lawsuit for breach of implied contract and quasi-contract, in the latest blow to Jolie and Shefler.

Last month the Mail revealed that Stoli had been stripped of a number of shares by a court in Luxembourg, making Pitt the majority shareholder.

The battle for the future of Chateau Miraval has so far been waged in courtrooms in France, Luxembourg and Los Angeles.

Pitt was shocked when his ex-wife sold her half of their beautiful Chateau Miraval estate to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler in 2021 without his consent.

After their bitter divorce in 2016, Jolie sold her stake in the company to Yuri Shefler’s Stoli Group. Pitt claimed she violated an agreement that they would give each other first refusal.

Financial documents seen by DailyMail.com in February showed that the ultimate owner of the shares is a shadowy trust on the island of Jersey, controlled by a company in which Shefler is not a shareholder.

The baffling business arrangements make it impossible to know who is pulling the strings, but friends of Hollywood star Pitt say he is determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

A source close to the actor said: “Brad wants Jersey to start giving answers. He should have the right to know who bought his company.

‘He has put his heart and soul into Chateau Miraval and feels like the rug is being pulled out from under him. He’s not sure who he’s doing business with.’

In an earlier filing, Pitt alleged that Shefler tried to “bully” and “threaten” him with defamation, arguing that the Russian tried to bully him into submission by issuing a press release announcing their “partnership” the day after Jolie’s deal was completed.

Shefler then demanded the pair meet for talks after “personally insisting” that the release “emphasize” they were partners with Pitt – despite the A-Lister only learning of the deal through the announcement.

The filings are part of the Oscar winners’ bid to reverse Angelina Jolie’s $64 million sale of her share of the Chateau Miraval estate to Shefler.

He says the 2021 deal violated Jolie’s previous promise to offer him first refusal if she ever sold.

Shefler is accused of contacting Jolie’s divorce lawyers after reports of a “heated custody dispute” in 2021.

Pitt’s team also says representatives from Stoli – Shefler’s international drinks conglomerate – made an “unsolicited” offer for Miravel following news of the couples’ split.

Shefler insists that the US courts do not have jurisdiction to hear a full trial on this case.

But the momentum in the legal battle appears to be with Pitt, after a court in Luxembourg stripped Shefler of 10 percent of his shares, effectively making Pitt the majority shareholder again.

His legal team secured victory by arguing that the shares were given in 2013 with the understanding that Jolie would not resell them.

Judge Carole Kerschen ruled that it was necessary to end the ‘blocking of decision-making’ and save the company. A merits hearing in about two years is likely to decide that Pitt regains full control of the shares, which were transferred to Jolie’s company for one euro.

A source close to the actor previously said that the ruling leaves Shefler with “virtually no control” over the multibillion-dollar business in Provence.

Pitt and Jolie purchased the 1,300-acre Miraval estate in 2008 as 60-40 partners, with Pitt as the majority shareholder.

Five years later, he donated an extra 10 percent to Jolie’s company Nouvel for one euro, making them equal.

But after their acrimonious split in 2016, the estate found itself at the center of a $350 million divorce battle.

In 2021, Jolie sold Nouvel to a group controlled by Shefler. Pitt’s attorneys alleged that she “knew and intended that Shefler and its subsidiaries would attempt to control the company.”

Brad Pitt may be embroiled in a very bitter and public divorce from his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, but the tumultuous time was made easier thanks to his girlfriend Ines de Ramon, insiders claim.

The 60-year-old Hollywood mogul reportedly feels he has found ‘the one’ in 34-year-old jewelry designer Ines, who is free from drama and stress and whom he respects for helping him make decisions about his career.

“Brad is happy there is no drama with Ines,” an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘He doesn’t have to think about anything negative when he’s with her.

‘They are in their own world and enjoy each other’s company. Not that Brad experiences much stress in his life, although everyone knows Angie is the biggest.’

The source added that Brad enjoys discussing his various acting roles with Ines and “appreciates” her input into his career, as they stressed that the reason things are going so well is because there is “no drama and no pressure.”

“He trusts her and believes she is the best for him and there is no hidden agenda behind it,” they said.

But even though they live together and see a ‘future’, they have no intention of saying ‘yes’ yet.

“He considers this his last relationship,” the source continued. ‘If that leads to marriage, it won’t happen anytime soon because they haven’t talked about it yet.

“They are happy and want to see where living together will take them.”

Dailymail.com has reached out to Brad’s rep for comment.

Sources previously told DailyMail.com: “Brad is happy and in love with his girlfriend Ines, but any sign of engagement, marriage or eloping is not in the near future,” the insider continued.

“Brad isn’t shy about getting married again, it’s just not something either of them are thinking about.”

The latest news comes a week after Ines was pictured carrying another huge bouquet of flowers as she headed home to the Los Angeles pad she shares with the Fight Club actor.

Last month, she was spotted on Valentine’s Day with the help of an assistant carrying a huge crystal vase of flowers, believed to be from Brad.

The couple has made several loved-up appearances since they were first pictured together at a Bono concert in Los Angeles in November 2022.

Brad took Ines to his Babylon premiere in December 2022, before the pair went on to enjoy his 60th birthday later that month, as well as New Year’s Eve and a trip to Paris.

Their romance came just two months after Ines announced her split from Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley. The couple was married for three years. He filed for divorce in February 2023.

Last week they attended the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where Brad was in attendance to help honor his friend Bradley Cooper with the Outstanding Artist of the Year award.

The loved-up couple struggled to keep their hands off each other, with Ines resting her hand on Brad’s thigh as they laughed together.

Their relationship blossomed six years after his divorce from Angelina, 48, who accused him of volatile behavior, and also came in the middle of a legal battle over their French vineyard.

The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor sued the actress for selling her stake in Château Miraval in 2021, accusing her of orchestrating a “hostile takeover” of the company.

They allegedly agreed verbally that they would not sell without the other’s permission.

The film stars, who met in 2004 while filming Mr. And Mrs. Smith and collectively known as ‘Brangelina’, share six children: sons Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Knox, 15, and daughters Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and Vivienne, 15.

They married in August 2014 after ten years together, but Angelina filed for divorce in September 2016.

At the time, the Maleficent actress chose to file “for the health of the family” and asked for full physical custody of their children following an incident on the couple’s private plane, alleging that Brad was violent and became offensive. He vehemently denied the charges and was acquitted.

Angelina was awarded full physical custody in September 2016, with Brad granted visitation rights.

Two months later, he filed for joint and physical custody of the children.

In December, Brad filed (but was later denied) a motion to seal the custody-related documents.

In January 2017, the estranged couple released a joint statement announcing that they had signed an agreement to keep their court documents confidential.

The judge ordered Angelina to help repair Brad’s relationship with their children and he was given more time with them.

But in August 2018, Angelina accused Brad of not paying “meaningful” child support. Within 24 hours, Brad’s lawyers filed a response claiming that he had paid her $9 million since their divorce.

A judge granted them both single status on April 12, 2019, as the couple continued to finalize their divorce.

Brad was granted joint custody by private judge John Ouderkirk in May 2021, but Angelina contested this.

Two months later, a California appeals court disqualified Judge John on the grounds that he had not adequately disclosed business relationships with Brad’s attorneys.

The joint custody ruling was subsequently lifted after his removal.

Jennifer Aniston has sparked engagement rumors after she posed at the SAG Awards wearing a giant diamond ring on her left hand.

The actress, 55, was nominated for her role on The Morning Show but lost to The Crown’s Elizabeth Debicki.

She also took the stage with Bradley Cooper to present the SAG Lifetime Achievement Award to Barbra Streisand.

Jennifer dazzled at the ceremony in a figure-hugging silver dress with a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit.

But the most eye-catching part of her ensemble was her jewelry, with the Friends star wearing a huge sparkler on her ring finger.

Jennifer is not known to be dating anyone currently, and she has not been romantically linked to anyone in the past five years.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Jennifer Aniston for comment.

Jennifer has been married twice before, first to Brad Pitt in 2000, before their divorce in 2005, which became one of the most high-profile divorces in Hollywood.

She then got engaged to Justin Theroux in 2012 and they married three years later, but also split in 2018.

She has also previously dated other famous faces, Paul Rudd, Tate Donovan, Vince Vaughn and John Mayer.

Despite a rocky relationship history, Jennifer is reportedly optimistic that she will find love again in her 50s.

Last summer, a source said UsWeekly: ‘In her gut, Jen believes she will eventually meet the right person.’

But the insider also added that if she never found love again, she would be fine, saying, “She’s not going to beat herself up if it doesn’t happen.” She’s fine on her own.

‘[Jennifer] is in a great spot. She is happy, healthy and fulfilled by her career, family and friends. [She’s] has been through a lot, but she feels blessed to be thriving both personally and professionally.”

Jennifer herself admitted that she would “like to be in a relationship” in November 2022, but also said that she was not “interested” in getting married again.

When asked if she planned to walk down the aisle again in the future, she said To tempt: ‘Never say never, but I’m not interested in it.’

However, she confessed that she would still be open to love because being single can be overwhelming at times.

Jennifer said: ‘I would love a relationship. Who knows? There are times when I just want to curl up in a ball and say, “I need support.”

‘It would be great to come home and fall into someone’s arms and say, ‘That was a hard day’.’

But the Morning Show star made it clear she didn’t want to start a new relationship until she had time to work on herself and address her early traumas.

She explained: ‘It wouldn’t be fair. I don’t want to live in a house if there are no walls.’

Last year, Jennifer opened up further about the impact her childhood had on her love life, admitting that her romantic relationships have been negatively affected by her parents’ bitter split.

She admitted that her “difficult” childhood experiences didn’t make her desperate to say “yes.”

“It was always a little bit difficult for me in relationships, I think, because I was kind of alone,” she explained in an interview with WJ. Magazine.

‘Don’t know. My parents, who monitored my family’s relationship, didn’t let me say, “Oh, I can’t wait to do that,” she said, referring to her father John Aniston and her mother Nancy Dow.

John, who sadly passed away in November 2022, married Nancy in 1965, but the couple’s relationship ended when Jennifer was just nine years old, and they divorced in 1980.

Speaking about the long-term effects their tumultuous divorce had on her, Jennifer admitted that it felt “easier” to just be alone.

She said, “I didn’t like the idea of ​​sacrificing who you were or what you needed, so I didn’t really know how to do that.

“So it was almost easier to just kind of be solo.” So I haven’t had any real training in that give and take.’

The Around Came Polly star said she is now focused on making sure she doesn’t sacrifice her own desires to please someone else.

Jennifer explained, “It’s about not being afraid to say what you need and what you want. And it’s still a challenge for me in a relationship.’

“I’m really good at every other job I have, and that’s about the only area that’s a bit…” she added before walking away and joking that her dog is who she “sleeps with.”

Pippa Middleton showed off her toned physique in a blue gingham one-piece during a day at the beach in St Barts with her husband and children.

The mother-of-three, 40, wore the blue-and-white patterned swimsuit for her day out on Gouverneur beach, near the £90m estate of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich.

Pippa, her husband James Matthews and their three children have spent weeks enjoying the winter sun at Eden Rock Beach, which is owned by James’ family.

However, they appeared to venture further afield for one of their final beach days on the Caribbean island before heading home to their £15m Berkshire mansion.

During the family getaway, the Princess of Wales’ younger sister has worn over £2,000 worth of designer swimwear and accessories. 

In her latest outing, Pippa flaunted her athletic physique in a chic, gingham one-piece, which featured cut out detailing on the side and back.

The mother-of-three wore her hair pulled into a bun to combat the warm weather, and completed her beach day ensemble with a pair of classic sunglasses.

Pippa arrived at the beach in a matching blue and white cover-up dress, which had intricate floral detailing on the front and back and blue frills on the sleeves.\

She was joined by her husband James, 48, and their three children Arthur, five, Grace, two, and Rose, one.

James, a former racing driver, matched his wife in a pair of blue swimming trunks, and looked to have caught the sun on their trip to the Caribbean.

He and Pippa, who married in 2017, spent time kicking a football around the beach with their children, and dug holes in the gorgeous white sand.

The Matthews family owns the Eden Rock resort on St Barts, one of the region’s most exclusive hotels. Stars including Elton John, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio have stayed at the resort. 

James’s parents, David and Jane Matthews, moved to St Barts in September 1995 after purchasing Eden Rock from local adventurer Rémy de Haenen. 

Pippa’s outing today comes after the Princess of Wales’ ‘successful’ planned abdominal surgery last month. 

Earlier this month, the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden reported that the mother-of-three ‘is on the mend’. 

In a clear sign of her improvement, she was able to join her husband, Prince William, and their three children as they set off for a half-term holiday on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, where the King is also convalescing.

‘Catherine is recovering well,’ a friend said. ‘She was looking forward to a change of scene and will be able to take it easy in Norfolk while the children let off steam with William.’

The Princess, 42, was discharged two weeks ago from the London Clinic, where she had spent almost two weeks.

In the only Kensington Palace statement about her health, a spokesman said on January 17 that, ‘based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter’.

The spokesman did not provide details about the nature of her surgery, but sources briefed that it was not for cancer.

Since leaving hospital, without being photographed, Catherine has been at Adelaide Cottage, the family’s four-bedroom home at Windsor Home Park. 

Her children, Prince George, ten, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five, all attend Lambrook school a 15-minute drive away in Berkshire. They broke up for a week’s half-term holiday on Friday. 

Brad Pitt 'couldn't be happier' in his relationship with girlfriend Ines de Ramon and has also 'found his spark again'.

The Bullet Train actor, 60, and the jewelry professional, 34, have also taken the 'natural' step by moving in together at his California home – 15 months after the lovebirds were first linked in November 2022.

A source provided an update People about the couple's romance in an article published on Saturday, telling the newspaper: 'They spent so much time together at Brad's that it just made sense for Ines to move in with him.'

The insider added that the star is “very happy and enjoys spending time with her.” Living together was a given.'

'He found his spark again with Ines. It's really great to see. Brad is a great guy. He deserves to be happy.'

In 2019, Pitt was declared legally single to ex Angelina Jolie, although the former couple's divorce has yet to be finalized – after the Maleficent actress filed in 2016.

'Since the divorce, Brad has dated, but never seriously. This is his first serious relationship, and he couldn't be happier.”

The source added that it was “great” to see the actor's happiness within the relationship, describing Ines as “kind, funny and very special.”

Before becoming romantically involved with the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star, the jewelry designer was married to The Vampire Diaries alum, Paul Wesley, from 2019 until their divorce in 2022.

Earlier this week it was reported that Brad and Ines are now 'living together', according to Peoplealthough she still has her own place of residence.

An insider told the publication that the big move was “fairly recent,” adding, “She's doing really well and she's happier than ever.”

A separate source also revealed this Entertainment tonight“Brad and Ines lived together.”

'She still has her own house, but they spend most of their time at his place and Ines has most of her things there.'

'Brad really loves Ines and takes their relationship seriously. He's not rushing the next steps, but they're in a great place and enjoying their time together. Ines is excited and adores Brad.”

On Thursday, Ines was spotted stepping out in Los Angeles to take home an extravagant floral arrangement that appeared to have been gifted by Brad in honor of Valentine's Day.

She put on a stylish presentation as she walked to a parked vehicle on the side of a busy street, an assistant following closely behind her as she held a large vase full of pink and white flowers.

The lovebirds were first linked in November 2022 when they attended a Bono concert in Los Angeles.

However, a source told People at the time that the pair had been dating for “a few months” before the public outing.

The following month, they both attended the Babylon premiere in LA, but did not walk the red carpet together.

The pair have since been spotted together on several other occasions, including Brad's 60th birthday celebration late last year in December.

And earlier this month, both Brad and Ines attended the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and were spotted sitting side by side during the festivities, according to photos in Hello! Magazine.

Pitt was on hand to present fellow actor Bradley Cooper with the Outstanding Performer of the Year Award.

“He seemed very cheerful on stage as he presented the award to Bradley and made fun of his friend, joking that he was only here for the free trip to Santa Barbara,” the source said. People.

The lovebirds opted to skip the red carpet at the event and the insider shared that when Pitt suddenly appeared, “the crowd went crazy with excitement.”

The latest update on Brad's budding romance with Ines comes shortly after both the actor and his ex, Angelina Jolie, took another step toward finalizing their divorce.

“They are working through the final red tape, which is a huge relief and a huge morale booster,” a source recently said We weekly.

'It saddens him that he is not on better terms with some of his children, and he regrets that things have become so bitter with Angelina, but the days of looking back angrily are behind him.'

In 2002, Jolie adopted son Maddox, 22, and daughter Zahara, 19, in 2005 – a year after she started dating Pitt.

And in 2007, they adopted Pax, 20. They also share three biological children: Shiloh, 17, Knox, 15, and Vivienne, 15. Before the actor and Jolie tied the knot in 2014, Pitt notably adopted all the children.

Brad Pitt seems very much in love with his girlfriend of over a year, Ines de Ramon.

The 34-year-old beauty was spotted carrying her enormous pink and white flower arrangement home from her Los Angeles office on Thursday, in a very rare sighting.

Behind jewelery designer De Ramon walked an assistant who could barely cope with carrying the very large bouquet in a crystal vase on a stand. The blossoms even covered her face, making it difficult to see.

It looked like Ines was taking home the large Valentine's Day bouquet that the Troy actor had probably sent to her office the day before.

The spring arrangement consisted of peonies, lilies and roses in ivory and light pink tones.

The brunette businesswoman was seen wearing a long gray coat over a white dress and knee-length black cowboy boots as she hid behind gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses.

The style resembles something Brad's ex-wife Angelina Jolie has worn in the past. The Eternals actress often steps out in winter coats over spring dresses.

Ines wore her long brown hair down and put on make-up as she wore dainty gold earrings as she walked to her SUV parked on the street.

The designer works for jewelry brand Anita Ko Jewelry, based in Los Angeles. Anita Ko's fans include Hailey Bieber and Kourtney Kardashian.

Sometimes Ines also models the Anita Ko line on social media.

Before that, the eye-catcher worked in the jewelry department at Christie's and at the luxury Swiss jeweler De Grisogono.

This comes after the news that Ines and Brad have moved in together. According to a report on Thursday, Ines would now call the 60-year-old actor's home her address. People.

'It's quite recent. “They are doing really well and she is happier than ever,” the insider said.

It was also claimed that Ines is keeping her bachelorette party in Los Angeles for the time being.

Brad and Ines were first linked in November 2022 after they were spotted at a Bono concert. It was just two months after Ines divorced her husband Paul Wesley after three years of marriage.

He took her to his Babylon premiere in December 2022, followed by birthday celebrations, New Year's Eve together and a trip to Paris.

They were also together to celebrate Brad's 60th birthday in December.

Brad attended the Santa Barbara International Film Festival last week with Ines.

The actor attended the film festival to honor his friend Bradley Cooper with the Outstanding Artist of the Year award.

Brad and Ines sat next to each other at the event – ​​which took place at the Arlington Theater – as seen in Hello! magazine.

The couple sat behind Bradley and his Maestro co-star Carey Mulligan.

According to Hello! Ines had her hand on Brad's thigh for most of the event as the couple laughed and chatted.

A source told People: “He seemed in good spirits on stage as he presented the award to Bradley and mocked his friend, joking that he was only here for the free trip to Santa Barbara.”

Ines looks like Pitt's ex Jolie, 48.

Brad and Angie, who met in 2004 while filming Mr. And Mrs. Smith, share six children together: sons Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Knox, 15, and daughters Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and Vivienne, 15.

Jolie adopted Maddox in 2002 and then Zahara in 2005, a year after meeting Pitt while the couple filmed Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

He was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time.

They then adopted Pax together in 2007, and went on to have biological children Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. Pitt adopted all the children before they married in 2014.

They married in August 2014 after ten years together, but Angelina filed for divorce in September 2016.

At the time, Angelina chose to file “for the health of the family,” according to the Associated Press, asking for physical custody of the children.

They were declared single by a judge in 2019, but their divorce is still ongoing.

A new report from American weekly claimed the stars are nearing the end of their divorce – seven years after she first filed divorce papers.

They are finishing the final red tape, which is a huge relief and a morale booster,” the source said.

The insider said: 'It makes him sad [Brad] that he is not on better terms with some of his children, and he regrets that things have become so bitter with Angelina, but the days of looking back angrily are behind him.'

Brad Pitt has been accused by director Ed Zwick of 'volatile' behavior on the set of his 1994 western film Legends Of The Fall.

In an excerpt from his new memoir, “Hits, Flops, and Other Illusions: My Fortysomething Years in Hollywood,” Zwick, 71, discussed his rocky relationship with the Hollywood heartthrob, 60.

The filmmaker wrote that Pitt “can be volatile when angry,” as evidenced by the clip published by Vanity fairand “became tense when he was about to shoot a scene where he had to show deep emotions.”

He recalled one of their on-set “dustups”: “I don't know who shouted first, who cursed or who threw the first chair. Me maybe? But when we looked up, the crew was gone. And this wasn't the last time this happened.”

A Pitt spokesperson declined to comment when contacted by DailyMail.com on Tuesday.

Pitt was cast in the role of Tristan Ludlow after Tom Cruise dropped out, although his agent reportedly called Zwick after the first table read “to say Brad wanted to drop out.”

Producer Marshall Herskovitz eventually convinced him to stay.

“It was the first sign of the deeper wells of emotion bubbling within Brad. At first he seems easy-going, but he can be volatile when he gets angry, as I was reminded more than once when the shooting started and we took each other's measure,” Zwick wrote.

'Sometimes, no matter how experienced or sensitive you are as a director, it just doesn't work.'

“His ideas about Tristan differed from mine,” Zwick continued.

“Brad had grown up with men who kept their emotions in check; I believed the point of the [Legends of the Fall] The novel was that a man's life was the sum of his sorrows… But the more I pushed Brad to reveal himself, the more he resisted. So I kept pushing and Brad pushed back.”

For example, he remembers giving Pitt instructions in front of the crew, which he admits was “a stupid, embarrassing provocation.”

“Brad came back, also loudly, and told me to back off.”

“The deliberate move would have been to tell the crew to take five and for us to talk about it together. But I felt bloody and wasn't going to give in.”

'I was angry with Brad because he didn't trust me to influence his performance. Also because of the reluctance he had shown after reading the first table. Who knows, I may have expressed my own inability to be vulnerable.”

“But Brad wasn't about to give in without a fight. In his defense, I urged him to do something that he felt was either wrong for the character or more 'emo' than he wanted to appear on screen.”

He then described a moment when they allegedly shouted, cursed and threw chairs.

“Eventually the crew got used to our cleanups and walked away and let us out. “We hate it when parents fight,” said one.”

Zwick said that although they would “blow up” at each other, they would later “make up and mean it.”

The director went on to say that Pitt is “a candid, straightforward person, fun to be around and capable of great joy. He was never less than completely committed to doing his best.

Kuiltjes worden vaak gezien als schattige of schattige gelaatstrekken die iets extra's toevoegen aan iemands glimlach – maar dankzij een wilde nieuwe trend op het gebied van plastische chirurgie zijn ze ook het populairste accessoire geworden voor veel vrouwen over de hele wereld.

Volgens deskundigen is er een enorme stijging in het aantal aanvragen voor 'dimpleplasty'-procedures, waarbij patiënten tot wel 1.500 dollar betalen in ruil voor het operatief aanbrengen van kuiltjes in hun gezicht om er jonger uit te zien.

Ironisch genoeg zijn kuiltjes technisch gezien onvolkomenheden – ingesprongen wangen worden veroorzaakt door een spierfout – maar dat weerhoudt jonge mannen en vrouwen er niet van om sterren als Ariana Grande, Harry Styles en Gabrielle Union te channelen.

En nu dimpleplastiek in opkomst is, sprak FEMAIL met plastisch chirurgen om alles te weten te komen over de nieuwste cosmetische trend, van mogelijke valkuilen tot hersteltijd.

Op Instagram zijn er meer dan 15.000 berichten onder de hashtag #dimpleplasty, waarin vrouwen hun gloednieuwe kuiltjes laten zien, samen met foto's van vroeger.

Volgens een onderzoek van Grandview-onderzoek De wereldwijde marktomvang voor dimpleplasty werd in 2022 geschat op $ 302,50 miljoen.

Het onderzoek schreef de groei toe aan de vooruitgang in de chirurgie, hoge besteedbare inkomens en een toename van het aantal mensen dat niet-invasieve procedures willen.

Plastisch chirurg uit Guilford, Connecticut Dr. Derek Steinbacher vertelde FEMAIL dat dimpleplastie 'een kleine chirurgische ingreep in de mond omvat', waarbij een 'dunne tunnel wordt gemaakt van binnen in de mond tot net onder de wanghuid.'

Er worden dan hechtingen geplaatst om de kuiltjes te vormen en er zijn geen zichtbare littekens. De hele procedure kan worden uitgevoerd met plaatselijke verdoving of met lachgas in minder dan 30 minuten en mensen hebben slechts één dag licht ongemak.

'Het creëert een subtiele plooi of inkeping in de wang, vlakbij de plaats waar de mondhoeken bewegen tijdens het glimlachen,' zei Dr. Steinbacher, eraan toevoegend dat het mensen er onschuldiger uit kan laten zien.

De plastisch chirurg zei dat hij de afgelopen zes maanden tot een jaar 'meer vragen had opgemerkt om dit toe te voegen aan hun gezichtsverjongingsprocedures, en dat er alleen al meer vraag was naar deze procedure.'

Hij schrijft 'beroemdheden en afbeeldingen in de media' toe aan de opkomst van dimpleplasty, en zei dat veel mensen binnenkomen met foto's van sterren, meestal Brad Pitt, Harry Styles, Jennifer Garner, Mario Lopez en Ariana Grande.

De Cosmetische Straat gepost op X (voorheen Twitter), en deelde een voor en na foto van iemand die kuiltjescorrectie kreeg met Dr. Kun Z Kim, van Kim Facial Plastic Surgery, en vroeg hun volgers of ze fans waren van de procedure.

Het marketingbureau in de esthetische industrie kreeg te horen dat 85 procent van de volgers 'nee, bedankt' stemde, en iemand vroeg zich af of bepaalde beroemdheden de procedure hadden gekregen om kuiltjes uit hun kindertijd te behouden. Op de rekening stond dat de procedure ongeveer $ 1.500 kost.

Mede-oprichter van Cosmetic Lane, Justin Mob, gevestigd in Toronto, Canada, zei: 'De toename van de belangstelling voor dimpleplasty komt, in ons perspectief, voort uit dit collectieve verlangen om een ​​jeugdige uitstraling zo lang mogelijk te behouden.'

'In 2023 was het enige waar iedereen over sprak hoe het verwijderen van buccaal vet mogelijk tot onmiddellijke veroudering zou kunnen leiden, waardoor mensen met gezwollen wangen op zoek zouden gaan naar alternatieven.'

Justins mede-oprichter Harmony Samra voegde eraan toe dat dimpleplastie een aantrekkelijk alternatief bleek te zijn voor mensen die 'gezichtsafslanking wilden bereiken zonder te kiezen voor verwijdering van buccaal vet, een procedure die zorgen baarde over de langetermijneffecten ervan'.

'Vanuit ons standpunt helpt dimpleplasty het gezicht te definiëren en tegelijkertijd een jeugdige uitstraling te behouden', aldus Harmony.

De esthetiekaanbieders waarmee Justin en Harmony samenwerken, hebben een grote toename opgemerkt in de belangstelling voor dimpleplasty, samen met mensen die consulten willen voor de procedure.

Ze geloven dat naarmate de technieken nog beter worden, meer mensen dimpleplasty zullen willen.

Op dit moment zijn de meeste mensen bezorgd dat het er niet natuurlijk uitziet.

De groeiende belangstelling kan ook iets te maken hebben met het feit dat mensen niet meer zo op elkaar willen lijken, omdat steeds meer influencers een Instagram-gezicht krijgen omdat ze allemaal dezelfde cosmetische ingrepen ondergaan.

'Kuiltjes zijn altijd een teken van uniciteit geweest en dienen als een onderscheidend kenmerk, waardoor individuen zich onderscheiden in een wereld waarin iedereen op een copy-paste-versie van elkaar begint te lijken,' beaamde Harmony.

Justin genoemd Gabrielle Unie, 51; Ariana Grande, 30; en Mario Lopez, 50, als beroemdheden met kuiltjes die 'er jonger uitzien dan hun werkelijke leeftijd – met uitzondering van Ariana Grande.'

'Gezien de specifieke look die geassocieerd wordt met deze beroemdheden en het voortdurende streven naar jeugdige esthetiek in Hollywood, zou het niet verrassend zijn als sommigen van hen wat hulp zouden zoeken om hun kuiltjes te behouden of te versterken,' liet Justin doorschemeren. 'Op het gebied van Hollywood verbaast ons niet veel meer!'

Dr. Kun Z. Kim, MDeen dubbelgecertificeerde plastisch chirurg in het gezicht in Doraville, Georgia, zit achter menig kuiltje en deelt het proces op Instagram.

In één bericht legde Dr. Kim uit: 'Onze patiënte kwam binnen met een kuiltje en kwam niet eens uit de parkeerplaats voordat ze besloot dat ze de andere kant wilde laten doen.

'Houd er rekening mee dat de kuiltjes de eerste 2 tot 4 maanden erg zichtbaar kunnen zijn, totdat ze genezen zijn. Als de hechtingen eenmaal zijn opgelost, zullen ze natuurlijker zijn en alleen zichtbaar zijn als je glimlacht.'

Volgers waren enthousiast over de resultaten en zeiden: 'Het staat haar zo natuurlijk.'

Dr. Jimmy C. Sung, de medisch directeur van Tribeca-esthetiek in New York City, vertelde FEMAIL: 'Deze operatie is al een tijdje behoorlijk populair in Azië', en 'patiënten zullen vaak verwijzen naar een bepaalde K-drama-acteur of actrice wanneer ze om de procedure vragen.'

Ondanks dat het een ogenschijnlijk eenvoudige operatie is, is er groot talent voor nodig.

'De kunst van deze procedure is het ontwerpen van geïndividualiseerde kuiltjesgroottes en -locaties voor elke patiënt', legde Dr. Sung uit. 'Een goed doordacht ontwerp zorgt voor een natuurlijk en mooi resultaat en verbetert andere gelaatstrekken.'

Dr. John Paul Tutela, MD, een board-gecertificeerde plastisch chirurg met kantoren in New York City en Livingston, New Jersey, heeft met beroemdheden gewerkt, waaronder leden van de cast van Jersey Shore.

Dr. Tutela zei: 'Je kunt in eerste instantie verwachten dat de resultaten een beetje overdreven zijn, maar naarmate de tijd verstrijkt, wordt het kuiltje zachter en blijf je achter met het blijvende resultaat.'

En hoewel de kuiltjes na verloop van tijd kunnen vervagen, legt de plastisch chirurg uit, 'kan er een revisieoperatie worden uitgevoerd als de patiënt het gevoel heeft dat hij te veel van het oorspronkelijke kuiltje waar hij naar op zoek was, kwijt is.'

'Kuiltjeschirurgie wordt al vele, vele jaren uitgevoerd en wordt gezien als populairder in de regio's Hollywood en Los Angeles,' zei Dr. Tutela.

Maar nu is het in opkomst en is het populair in het hele land.
