Brad Pitt's Super Bowl ad's secret message for girlfriend Ines de Ramon revealed

Brad Pitt, in his stirring Super Bowl ad, may have been trying to unite the nation, but astute viewers soon noticed a more intimate message weaved into his appearance—a little but meaningful mention to his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon.

His patriotic sermon enthralled the audience, but some who paid careful attention noticed a flash of gold beneath his effortlessly stylish, slightly unbuttoned ivory shirt.

The 60-year-old Oscar winner was sporting two delicate 14kt gold chain necklaces, both of which were from Anita Ko, the jewellery firm where Ines is an executive.

As a subtle yet unmistakable reminder of their two-year romance, the pieces are thought to have been a present from Ines.

Brad has already been seen sporting jewellery from the brand, and Ines has also recognised their connection in public. As a modest nod to the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star, she has been spotted wearing a delicate "B" pendant around her neck in the past.

Brad's understated yet effortlessly chic appearance for the commercial, which aired during FOX's pre-game coverage, included the jewellery as just one piece.

The Super Bowl commercial, a patriotic love letter to unity and resiliency, focused on the power of the "huddle"—a metaphor not just for football but for America itself. 

His choice of clothing leaned towards a laid-back, almost "middle-aged oatmeal chic" aesthetic, as some fans put it—loose-fitting, neutral-toned slacks, an oversized button-down shirt with front pockets, and classic "dad shoes" finished the look.

"It’s time, America, to huddle up. It’s time for the Super Bowl," Brad declared in the commercial, standing inside the legendary Bradbury Building in Los Angeles, where some of the country’s greatest cinematic moments have unfolded.
