Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon are enjoying some downtime together before his F1 press tour revs up.
A source close to the Oscar winner, 61, tells PEOPLE that he is back in the U.S. after recently filming Heart of the Beast in in New Zealand, wrapping in mid-May following over two months of shooting.
“Most of the filming was done in rugged areas, doubling as the Alaskan wilderness. Filming was grueling with a lot of wind and rain,” the source says. “He’s happy to be back in the U.S. with Ines.”
Now, Pitt is “getting some quality time with” de Ramon, 35, the insider continues. They recently spent time in both Los Angeles and Carmel, California, per the source.

Pitt is now “resting up before the major press tour for F1 kicks off” later this month, according to the source, ahead of the movie’s June 27 release date.
“Ines will attend some public events with him,” the insider adds. “They are still doing great. She’s perfect for him. She’s very supportive and excited about his career.”
Pitt recently gave rare comments about his relationship with de Ramon during a GQ interview. When asked if making their first public-event appearance as a couple at a Formula 1 race last year was a calculated decision, given his F1 project, Pitt said, “No, dude, it’s not that calculated. How exhausting would that be … if you’re living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.”

On Thursday, May 29, another source told PEOPLE that de Ramon has been a “calming and supportive presence” for Pitt, after the actor finalized his divorce from Angelina Jolie.
“There’s no pressure between them,” that insider said at the time. “She gives him space when he needs it, but is always there when it counts.”
The Fight Club actor and jewelry-industry executive, who have been dating since 2022, are in a “really solid place,” the source said.
“Ines has brought a lot of peace into Brad’s life,” the insider added. “Their relationship has been easy and natural.”
