BRAD PITT and
ANGELINA JOLIE stepped out together Saturday at The Muhammad Ali Center's Grand Opening Gala in Louisville, KY, marking the couple's first official public outing.
The star-studded event, which included guests such as
BILL CLINTON,
CHRIS TUCKER,
JIM CARREY and
MATT LAUER, celebrated the opening of
MUHAMMAD ALI's 93,000-square-foot cultural and educational center.
Angelina, in a red gown, and Brad, in a black tuxedo, swayed to the music side by side, holding up flashlights with the rest of the crowd for the finale song, "Hold Up The Light."
The two reportedly arrived at the event in the same car, but snuck past photographers. Backstage, Angelina signed autographs for fans while Brad headed off in a separate direction.
The twosome became close while working on last summer's blockbuster 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith,' while consistently dodging rumors that they were romantically involved.
Brad and his ex-wife
JENNIFER ANISTON announced their split back in January and since then, he and Angelina have been photographed everywhere from Africa to Malibu with her two young children,
MADDOX and
ZAHARA, in tow.
